Title: Focused radiation for augmenting immune-based therapies against neoplasms
Inventor: ZENG JING
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 2012-06-19
Abstract: An approach combining immune-based therapies with focused radiation, including stereotactic radiation, to treat cancers is disclosed. The use of focused radiation primes the immune system in a similar manner to vaccines to augment immune-based therapies and can counteract the suppressive effects of a tumor. The combination of focused radiation and immune-based therapies, including administration of at least one immunotherapeutic agent, improves survival compared to each therapy alone and can, in some cases, lead to a durable cure. Accordingly, focused radiation can be an adjuvant for immune-based therapies for treating cancers.

Title: Yeast cell surface of proteins having enhanced properties
Inventor: WITTRUP K DANE
IPC: G01N33/566
Filed: 1999-01-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for selecting proteins with one or more enhanced phenotypic properties of surface expression level, stability, secretion levels and solubility relative to those of a wild-type of said protein. Yeast cells are transformed with a vector expressing a protein to be tested fused to a yeast cell wall protein.  Mutagenesis is used to a generate a variegated population of mutants of the protein to be tested.  The yeast cells are labeled with a first label which associates with yeast expressing the protein having one or more enhanced phenotypic properties of surface expression level, stability, secretion levels and solubility and does not associate with yeast which do not express the protein having enhanced phenotypic properties, and the transformed yeast cells with which the first label is associated are isolated. After analyzing and comparing the phenotypic properties of the mutant protein expressed by yeast with phenotypic properties of the wild-type protein, yeast cells exhibiting proteins with one or more enhanced phenotypic properties of surface expression level, stability, secretion levels and solubility over the wild-type protein are selected.

Inventor: RAINEY THOMAS L
IPC: E01F15/04
Filed: 2013-06-27
Abstract: Disclosed herein is an embodiment of a roadside barrier to sit on top of a retaining wall to provide impact resistance to vehicular traffic. The precast concrete traffic barrier unit is designed to have a counterweight from soil backfill on the horizontal stem portion of the precast unit that acts to resist overturning pressures from vehicle impact on the precast traffic barrier portion which extends above the roadway surface. The horizontal stem is an exemplary designed triangular in shape to capture more of the backfill soil than typically what soil backfill rest directly above the horizontal stem or counterweight portion. Therefore, the triangular horizontal stem with its arching effect between adjacent units will allow more of the soil backfill to resist impact loading and reduce the amount of concrete needed to provide adequate vehicle restraint protection. An alignment seat locks the traffic barrier unit to the retaining wall below.
