Patent CA-2665371-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BARATHOVA MONIKA
IPC: C12N9/88
Filed: 2007-10-12
Abstract: Herein disclosed is an alternatively-spliced [AS] variant of MN/CA9 mRNA and its related protein - AS MN/CA IX. Unlike the tumor-associated, full- length [FL] MN/CA9 mRNA and FL MN/CA IX, which in most tissues signify oncogenesis and/or hypoxia, the AS MN/CA9 mRNA is constitutively-expressed under normoxia and is not stimulated by hypoxia, and the AS MN/CA IX is not confined to the cell membrane. Provided herein are diagnostic/ prognostic methods for preneoplastic/neoplastic disease to differentiate between AS and FL MN/CA9 expression, and probes, primers, and antibodies useful in such methods. Also disclosed are methods to treat pre-neoplastic/neoplastic disease involving the MN gene and protein, which methods are based on the ability of AS MN protein (AS MN/CA IX) to interfere with the catalytic activity of FL MN protein (FL MN/CA IX); such methods may also use AS MN protein fragments that have that interference capability. Such methods may comprise increasing the levels of AS MN/CA IX relative to the levels of FL MN/CA IX. Exemplary therapeutic methods may comprise the administration of agents, such as, AS MN/CA IX itself, a vector expressing AS MN/CA9 mRNA, an antisense oligonucleotide that blocks expression of FL MN/CA IX but not that of AS MN/CA IX, a vector expressing such an antisense oligonucleotide, a FL MN/CA9 isoform-specific siRNA, or a vector expressing such FL MN/CA9 isoform-specific siRNA. Further disclosed are methods to identify agents capable of modulating levels of AS MN/CA IX.

Title: Prosthetic heart valve structures and related methods
Inventor: WOO YI-REN
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2007-11-15
Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve includes a valve core (20) and a mounting retainer (39) that extends radially out from the core to an outer perimeter portion (40). The outer perimeter portion has a different shape than a perimeter of the valve core when both perimeters are viewed along an axis that will be the axis of blood flow through the valve core when the prosthetic heart valve is in use in a patient. The outer perimeter portion is used to mount the valve to another structure such as a native valve annulus in a valve replacement procedure. The mounting retainer bridges the gap(s) between the valve core and the outer perimeter portion, and may also provide attachment sites for other native tissue structures (like chordae tendonae), which attachment sites can be at or at least closer to original (native) attachment sites for those tissue structures.

Title: Anti-tumour immunity induction by a non-replicatmg adenovirus encoding tap-1
Inventor: JEFFERIES WILFRED ARTHUR
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2007-12-12
Abstract: Impaired transporter-associated-with-antigen-processing (TAP) expression is associated with downregulation of MHC class 1 antigen expression in many tumours, including melanoma, making the tumours invisible to effector cytotoxic T cells. Restoration of TAP expression revives immunosurveillance mechanisms, leading to anti-tumour responses and enhanced memory T-cell subpopulations. The present invention comprises the use of TAP-1 for treatment of cancers in a human patient, wherein the cancer has cells that are deficient in MHC class 1 antigen presentation. The cancer cells are transfected in low doses with a vector encoding TAP-1, and the TAP-1 expression or activity elicits a memory T cell response directed to an endogenous cancer cell antigen.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention is a method of removing sulfur from a hydrocarbon feed using the steps of dissolving metallic sodium in a first solvent, combining the sodium/first solvent solution with a sulfur-free alkane or cycloalkane second solvent, vaporizing the first solvent from sodium/first solvent/second solvent combination to transfer the dissolved metallic sodium into the second solvent, and then combine the resultant liquid with a liquid hydrocarbon feed containing an organosulfur species. The resulting stream is combined with a hydrogen donor. The combination is heated and pressurized to form a liquid hydrocarbon product containing sodium sulfide. The liquid hydrocarbon product containing sodium sulfide is then cooled, and the sodium sulfide is extracted. The extracted sodium sulfide is then processed in a sodium sulfur cell to regenerate the sodium and recycle it to the feed.
