Title: Composition and method for modulating dendritic cell-t cell interaction
Inventor: FIGDOR CARL GUSTAV
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2000-04-19
Granted: 2004-09-02
Abstract: Use of a compound (I) that binds to a C-type lectin (II) on the surface of a dendritic cell (DC) for producing a composition for modulating (especially reducing) the immune response in an animal (particularly human or other mammal), provided that (II) is not the DEC-205 receptor. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an antibody (Ab), preferably monoclonal, directed against a C-type lectin (IIa) having a fully defined sequence of about 400 amino acids (given in the specification) or its natural variants, equivalents, parts, fragments or epitopes; (2) a pharmaceutical composition containing Ab and at least one carrier, excipient, adjuvant or auxiliary; (3) a combination of (I) attached to an antigen (Ag) or its fragment; (4) a method for producing, isolating and/or purifying DC from a biological sample or culture medium; and (5) DC prepared by method in (4). ACTIVITY : Immunosuppressant; immunostimulant; anti-allergic; antiviral; antitumor; antibacterial; antiprotozoal. MECHANISM OF ACTION : (I) mediates adhesion between DC and other cells by inhibiting interaction between (II) and (i) an ICAM (intracellular adhesion molecule) on T cells or (ii) gp 120 on HIV (human immune deficiency virus)-infected cells. A new (II), DC-SIGN, is not only involved in DC-T cell clumping but is also a major HIV receptor. Cells of the leukemia line K562 were transfected to express ICAM-3 and tested for binding to DC. Clumping between the cells was inhibited by antibodies directed against DC-SIGN, and DC-mediated T cell proliferation was then only about 1/3 of that in an antibody-free medium. The effect was greatly increased when anti-LFA3 antibodies were additionally present (practically no proliferation).

Title: Electrical connector system
Inventor: EDWARDS JEFFREY CHARLES
IPC: H01R13/523
Filed: 1999-10-28
Granted: 2002-05-02
Abstract: An electrical connector system is described for use in subsea environments for providing electrical connection through the wellhead into a tubular element with apertures for carrying electrical cables downhole. The system includes a circumferential electrically conductor ring which is coupled to, and insulated from, a tubular subsea element such as a tubing hanger, by an elastomeric electrically insulating sealing element, surrounding the conductor ring. The conductor ring is coupled to an electrical annular connector and is adapted to receive an electrical connector of a horizontally mounted electrical connector assembly which is hydraulically actuated to penetrate the elastomeric element in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tubular element to make electrical contact with the conductor ring. This completes an electrical connection from the electrical connector assembly through the conductor ring to the annular connector which, in turn, is coupled to a cable connected to downhole transducers or electrical equipment. The tubular element and conductor ring fit within a wellhead or tubular casing which has an aligned aperture for receiving the horizontally mounted electrical connector assembly.

Title: Multiple motion centrifuge
Inventor: PRAIS A WESLEY
IPC: B01F11/00
Filed: 1990-11-05
Granted: 1992-04-09
Abstract: A centrifuge device is provided which may impart selectively controlled centrifugal force to samples (30,32) under consideration, or a shaking or agitation movement to the samples, as required. A feature of the invention is the use of two roller clutches (18,20) on the single drive shaft (14) of the device so that a selective movement may be imparted to the samples (30,32) through the same drive by utilizing a locking mechanism to provide rotation from the shaft in opposite directions. Rotation in one direction causes the imposition of centrifugal force through one clutch (20), while rotation in the opposite direction causes rotation through the second clutch (18) and the imposition of agitation. In that direction, the sample support mechanism is moved vertically, controlled by a cylinder cam (76). A further feature of the invention is selective agitation movement and selective degree of agitation through selection of a particular cam profile (70). <IMAGE>

Granted: 2000-09-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to live attenuated gram-negative vaccine carrier strains which are useful for expression and delivery of heterologous O-antigens (O-PS) from gram-negative pathogens. Said strains are deficient in the expression of homologous O-PS due to a defined genetic modification, preferably a deletion, and, thus, capable of efficiently expressing a desired heterologous O-PS in such a way that it is covalently coupled either to homologous or heterologous LPS core lipid A. The present invention furthermore relates to live vaccine carrier strains containing a heterologous gene or a set of heterologous genes encoding O-PS. Preferably, said strains additionally contain genes necessary for the synthesis of complete smooth heterologous LPS. The present invention also relates to live vaccines comprising said strains, preferably for immunization against gram-negative enteric pathogens.
