Title: Selectively replicating viral vectors
Inventor: SHABRAM PAUL W
IPC: C12N15/34
Filed: 1999-10-14
Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant viruses which replicate the viral genome selectively in response to the intracellular conditions of the target cell through the use of a pathway-responsive promoter which substantially inhibits viral replication in the host cell based on the phenotype or genotype of the infected cell. In the target cell, the promoter element of the pathway-responsive promoter is inactive and thus the virus is permitted to replicate.  This result in: (1) killing the cells by natural lytic nature of the virus, and/or (2) provides a therapeutic dose of a transgene product (amplified in comparison to replication incompetent vectors) to the target cell, and (3) producing a localized concentration of the virus facilitating the infection of surrounding cells by the recombinant virus. The invention further provides therapeutic and diagnostic methods of use of the vectors, pharamaceutical formulations comprising the vectors, methods of making the vectors and transformed cells comprising the vectors.

Abstract: A fused tension-based fiber grating pressure sensor (8) includes an optical fiber (10) having a Bragg grating (12) impressed therein.  The fiber (10) is fused to tubes (20) on opposite sides of the grating (12) and an outer tube (30) is fused to the tubes (20) to form a chamber (34). The tubes (20, 30) and fiber (10) may be made of glass. Light (14) is incident on the grating (12) and light (16) is reflected from the grating (12) at a reflection wavelength (.lambda.1). The grating (12) is placed in tension pre-strain and as the pressure (P) increases, the tension on the grating (12) is reduced and the reflection wavelength shifts accordingly. A temperature grating (50) may be used to measure temperature and allow for a temperature-corrected pressure measurement. The shape of the outer tube (20) may have geometries other than a straight cylinder. Also, the axial ends of tubes (20) where the fiber (10) exits the tubes (20) may have an inner region (22) and/or a protruding tapered (or fluted) axial section (27), to provide strain relief or improved pull strength of the fiber (10). More than one grating or pair of gratings may be used and more than one fiber (10) may be used. The fiber (10) may be doped at least between a pair of gratings (150, 152) to form a tunable fiber laser or the grating (12) or gratings (150, 152) may be constructed as a tunable DFB fiber laser.
