Abstract: An identification of a new primary snapshot created for a primary storage system is received. A change tracking time window that is at least a portion of a period between a first capture time associated with a previous primary snapshot and a second capture time associated with the new primary snapshot is determined. Entries of a storage log of the primary storage system occurring within the change tracking time window are analyzed to coalesce changes identified in the entries of the storage log occurring within the change tracking time window into a change tracking result set. The change tracking result set is used to identify at least a portion of data changes between the previous primary snapshot and the new primary snapshot to capture in a new backup snapshot stored at a secondary storage system.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for inducing cell-mediated immunity against cellular antigens. More specifically, the invention provides for a method for inducing cytotoxic T-lymphocyte immunity against weak antigens, notably self-proteins. The method entails that antigen presenting cells are induced to present at least one CTL epitope of the weak antigen and at the same time presenting at least one foreign T-helper lymphocyte epitope. In a preferred embodiment, the antigen is a cancer specific antigen, e.g. PSM, Her2, or FGF8b. The method can be exercised by using traditional polypeptide vaccination, but also by using live attenuated vaccines or nucleic acid vaccination. The invention furthermore provides immunogenic analogues of PSM, Her2 and FGF8b, as well as nucleic acid molecules encoding these analogues. Also vectors and transformed cells are disclosed. The invention also provides for a method for identification of immunogenic analogues of weak or non-immunogenic antigens.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods for immunizing against autologous (self) Immunoglobulin E (IgE). In particular, the invention discloses methods for inducing cytotoxic T-lymphocytes that will specifically down-regulate B-cells producing autologous IgE, notably by means of nucleic acid vaccination or live vaccination. Also disclosed are methods for inducing antibodies reactive with autologous IgE as well as methods for inducing a combined antibody and CTK response specific for IgE. The invention also discloses specific immunogenic protein constructs, nucleic acids encoding these as well as various formulations and tools for preparing the vaccines, including vectors and transformed host cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method and formulation for the induction of immune responses against polypeptide antigens. In particular, the invention provides a method and formulation for induction of cytotoxic T cell responses against a polypeptide antigen of choice. The formulations are characterized by containing chitosan in admixture with the polypeptide antigen, preferably in the form of microparticles that may be cross-linked.
