Title: Methods for detection of rearranged dna
Inventor: PILARSKI LINDA M
IPC: C12Q1/6886
Filed: 1997-06-03
Granted: 2009-01-27
Abstract: The invention provides methods for the identification of members of a malignant lymphocyte clone by analysis of clonotypic DNA  rearrangements of T cell or B cell receptor genes. The DNA or RNA from isolated single tumor cells is amplified by PCR using consensus primers to the VDJ region of the receptor genes, and the sequence of the VDJ  region is obtained from each. The clonotypic sequence of the malignant clone is identified as the most frequent VDJ sequence amplified.  Individual-specific PCR primers for the VDJ region are then designed based upon the clonotypic sequence. These specific PCR primers are used to detect and quantitate clonotypic cells in subsequent patient samples using in situ PCR or in situ RT-PCR. Fractionated or unfractionated samples of blood or bone marrow, as well as tissue sections can be analyzed. The methods provide a highly sensitive and quantitative means to monitor the progress of disease and the efficacy of treatment protocols, as well as to detect members of the malignant clone in autologous bone marrow cells destined for transplant.

Abstract: Sample traps or wipes are provided for a detection system for detecting contraband materials. The sample trap is formed from an open weave glass fabric coated with a thin layer of Teflon and roughened to cut through the surface of Teflon and to break some of the glass fibers. Alternatively, the sample trap is non-woven felt fabric made of high temperature polyamide fiber. The sample traps are used in a detector, such as an ion trap mobility spectrometer. The detector includes a desorber which feeds dry air from a manifold above and below the sample trap through a series of holes along the mouth of the desorber. The dry air passes through the trap and purges out unwanted atmospheric constituents that could otherwise affect the performance of the detector. The purged air passes to the outside atmosphere, thus creating a dry curtain at the entry to the desorber.

Abstract: A thermal packaging system using a single phase change material (PCM) part in liquid and part in solid form to confine the temperature of the product within a predetermined range. The temperature ranges are determined by the selection of PCM formulation. The phase change materials selected have high latent heats of fusion and maintain relatively constant temperatures as they change phase. This permits light weight packaging with the maintenance of temperatures in narrow, preselected ranges over extended periods of time. A phase change formulation that can be adjusted to freeze at temperatures from +40 °C to below -30 °C is disclosed, comprising butanediol, selected percentages of distilled water, and nucleating agents. The phase change occurs over a narrow temperature range making this an ideal temperature control media. Nucleating or other agents are included to narrow the temperature range over which the phase change occurs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for releasing remaining subscriber activities through the use of a service termination command. A home public land mobile network (HPLMN) is informed of remaining activities by visited PLMNs (VPLMN) and interrogating PLMNs (IPLMN).  The HPLMN sends a timer to the VPLMNs and IPLMNs in a MAP operation. If upon expiration of the timer the subscriber has remaining activities in the node, then the node sends an alert to the HPLMN. The timer may be based upon a fraud risk of the PLMN and/or of the fraud risk of the subscriber. Accordingly, the HPLMN waits for an alert from a particular node before sending a service termination to the node.

Abstract: An apparatus for containing and delivering hazardous gases at sub-atmospheric pressure from a pressurized container is provided which includes a valve body in sealed communication with an outlet orifice of the pressurized container. The outlet orifice of the pressurized container is open to an interior chamber of the pressurized container. A fluid discharge path is located in the valve body, between the outlet orifice of the pressurized container and an outlet orifice of the valve body. A pressure regulator having a pressure sensing means capable of responding to sub-atomospheric pressure, is integral to the valve body, in-line in the fluid discharge path with the pressure regulator pre-set to a pressure below atmospheric pressure to allow the gas to be delivered through the regulator from the interior chamber only when the pressure regulator senses a downstream pressure at or below the pre-set pressure.  Finally, a high pressure shut-off valve integral to the valve body and in-line in the fluid discharge path and upstream from the pressure regulator is included. The gas flows through from the interior chamber of the pressurized container through the fluid discharge path, through the outlet orifice of the pressurized container, and through the outlet orifice of the vale body only when the outlet orifice is connected to a vacuum system. A  method of containing and delivering hazardous gases at sub-atmospheric pressure is also provided.
