Abstract: Provided herein are methods for stable integration and/or expression of one or more recombinant polynucleotides in a host cell. The recombinant polynucleotides are typically integrated into the host genome at some native chromosomal integration sites. The integration can be mediated by homologous recombination or by using a hybrid recombinase targeting the specific chromosomal locations. The native chromosomal integration sites in the host cells, which support stable integration and strong transcription activities of foreign genes, are present within or adjacent to specific genes in the CHO genome, the ankyrin 2 gene (Ank2), cleavage and polydenylation specific factor 4 gene (Cpsf4), C-Mos gene, and Nephrocystin-1/Mal gene. Also provided are methods and nucleic acid molecules for inserting site-specific recombination sequences (chromosomal landing pads) into these specific chromosomal locations, engineered host cells containing chromosomal landing pads, methods and compositions (e.g., kits) therefore.

Abstract: A cabin of a mobile home or other transport vehicle is provided with an internal living space adapted to minimize the space of furniture and beds during transport such that a small automobile may be received within the living space. In a set-up configuration and the automobile removed, beds can be deployed externally to the living space by a system of hinged panels attached to the side of the cabin. Furniture may also be rearranged within the interior of the cabin or mobile home on floor tracks.

Abstract: A unit for providing accommodation on a vehicle including a structure defining an internal accommodation space and a utility module coupled via a lowering mechanism to the structure of the unit, the lowering mechanism adapted to transition the module between an elevated, stored position within the internal accommodation space and a lowered, in-use position outside of the internal accommodation space.

Abstract: A system, method and program product for copying data between disjoint data processing applications. A system is disclosed that includes: a source application having a system for selecting a data record and a triggering agent that extracts relevant data from the selected data record, launches a dialog box and displays the extracted relevant data in the dialog box; and a data transfer system having a keystroke simulator for copying and pasting data from the dialog box to an interface window in a target application based on a set of data transfer rules.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides that promote neurite outgrowth. The polypeptides contain fibronectin Type III repeats derived from a family of cell adhesion molecules characterized by having 6 immunoglobulin domains and 5 fibronectin Type III repeats. The polypeptides of this invention correspond to F80, 3-5 and 4-5 regions of the cell adhesion family members chicken Ng-CAM, chicken Nr-CAM, mouse L1CAM, human L1CAM and homologs thereof. Methods of promoting neurite outgrowth in both diagnostic and therapeutic applications are also described as are methods of making the disclosed polypeptides and devices for using thereof.
