Patent AU-746345-B2 (AU)
Title: Determination of cPSA
Inventor: ALLARD WILLIAM JEFFREY
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 1997-09-26
Granted: 2002-04-18
Abstract: A method for determining the complexed forms of immunologically determinable prostate specific antigen (cPSA) in a blood sample, e.g., by two-site immunometric assays, in which the blood sample is treated to render free PSA (fPSA) immunologically nondetectable. A particularly preferred immunometric assay method employs three anti-PSA antibodies: an antibody that binds to both cPSA and fPSA (anti-tPSA), a second anti-tPSA antibody which is characterized by the unique property that binding to fPSA is blocked by binding of fPSA-specific antibodies, and a third antibody which is a fPSA-specific antibody. Thus, binding of the fPSA-specific antibody to PSA in the sample allows only cPSA to be measured in the immunometric assay. Measurement of cPSA blood levels has been found to provide a method for aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer that is highly sensitive and specific, and eliminates the need for a significant number of patients to undergo unnecessary prostate biopsy.

Title: Apparatus for synchronizing the operation of a computing means with a reference frequency signal
Inventor: WINE CHARLES MARTIN
IPC: G06F1/04
Filed: 1985-04-24
Granted: 1988-11-03
Abstract: A computing means (23) is provided which has its instruction execution synchronized to a reference signal (HFB). The computing means (23) executes instructions in instruction cycles synchronously related to a clock signal. The clock signal is generated by means (37, 45) which can control its phase and frequency in response to a control signal. The computing means (23) generates a comparison signal each time a nredetermined number of instruction cycles have occurred. A comparison means (51, 53) compares the phase and frequency of the comparison signal to that of a reference signal (HFB) from a source (19) and generates the control signal in response.The computing means may be a microprocessor used to disetay characters on the display (17) of a television. The reference signal is then a television synchronizing signal (HFB) from a source (19) so that the instruction cycles are synchronized with the television synchronizing signal HFB). The microprocessor (23) generates character pulses at a rate pro- portronal to the instruction cycles from data signals corresponding to the chatacter from a source (33). Means (25, 15) couple the character puises to the display (1 7) to display the characters.

Title: Human plasma hyaluronidase
Inventor: STERN ROBERT
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 1997-10-07
Granted: 2001-03-15
Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery of methods for purification of an acid active hyaluronidase found in human plasma (hpHAse), including both biochemical and immunoaffinity purification methods. The method of immunoaffinity purification of the invention is based on the discovery of a method for identifying antibodies that specifically bind native hpHAse (anti-native hpHAse antibodies), and anti-native hpHAse antibodies identified by this screening method. The invention also features an assay for sensitive detection of HAse activity using biotinylated hyaluronic acid (bHA). Purification and characterization of hpHAse lead to the inventors' additional discovery that hpHAse is encoded by the LuCa-1 gene, which gene is present in the human chromosome at 3p21.3, a region associated with tumor suppression. The invention additionally features methods of treating tumor-bearing patients by administration of hpHAse and/or transformation of cells with hpHAse-encoding DNA.

Title: Process for producing cellulose derivatives
Inventor: KARSTENS TIES
IPC: C08B1/08
Filed: 1997-11-04
Granted: 1998-12-17
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing cellulose derivatives wherein cellulose is impregnated with an alkali solution, the impregnated cellulose is selectably pressed out, and the cellulose undergoes a substitution or addition reaction, whereby the cellulose derivative is obtained with a degree of substitution DS. The applied cellulose is an ammonia activated cellulose. The molar ratio of the alkali to the AHG (anhydro glucose unit) in the cellulose at the beginning of the substitution or addition reaction does not exceed twice the valve of the desired DS. For the swelling of cellulose, no excess of alkali is required, which does not react to produce alkali cellulose but only adheres to the cellulose as a loose association product. Reagent consumption in the substitution or addition reaction is lower. Fewer secondary products are formed.

Granted: 2001-10-18
Abstract: Use of tetrahydrofolates in natural stereoisomeric form for production of a pharmaceutical preparation to influence homocysteine levels, to treat and prevent cardiovascular disorders and to prevent neural tube deficiencies is new. The compounds are applied when a methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency or thermolabile methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase exists. Tetrahydrofolates in the natural (S) form assist remethylation of homocysteine, and therefore act as homocysteine level modulators. They are of use in prevention and treatment of conditions in which there is deficiency of cystathione beta -synthase and/or 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate reductases enzymes. These conditions include cardiovascular disorders, notably arteriosclerosis, and for neural tube deficiencies. The compounds can be used either alone, or in combination with other bioactives, notably vitamins, and especially those of the B-group, B6 and B12, which have synergistic action.
