Title: Carbohydrate-based whole cell cancer vaccines
Inventor: LIU TIANMIN
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 2002-08-21
Abstract: When tumor cells are incubated with N-propionyl mannosamine, the N-acetyl groups of their surface .alpha.2-8 polysialic acid are converted to N-propionyl groups. The resultant bio-engineered cancer cells can be killed and used as a allogenic or autologous therapy or vaccine. The presence of N-propionylated polysialic acid-specific antibodies is detected in animals immunized with the vaccine prior to tumor implantation.  Mice immunized with the heat-killed cancer cells experience better protection against challenge with live autologous RMA-S cells than mice immunized with heat-killed autologous RMA-S cells. Killed cells having modified sialic acid groups on their surface may be used as an anti-cancer therapy or vaccine either alone or in combination with an anti-cancer compound, such as cyclophosphamide.

Abstract: A method of making a disposable tumbler includes: injection molding a polyethylene terephthalate resin in an annular mold cavity defined by an injection mold wall and a core to form a resinous parison on the core; separating the parison from the injection mold wall by moving the parison on the core away from the mold wall; moving the parison on the core into alignment with a blow-mold; and expanding the parison by directing a pressurized fluid to its interior such that the parison separates from the core and expands to the surface of the blow mold to form the tumbler, wherein the parison is radially expanded by a factor of at least about 2.6 at its base to form the tumbler. Typically, the parison is radially expanded at its base by a factor of from about 2.6 to about 3.25 to form the tumbler; whereas preferably the parison is expanded by a factor of from about 2.7 to about 2.9. In preferred embodiments of the method, the mold core is provided with a microtextured surface which may be provided by way of vapor-honing to provide a tumbler which resists nest-lock. Moisture, judiciously applied, may likewise alleviate nest-lock.  The annular mold cavity is generally thicker than similar cavities which may be employed with polystyrene, for example.
