Abstract: A method for identifying T-cell epitopes which can be used to elicit T cells targeting cells capable of regenerating cancers is disclosed. The method identifies T-cell epitopes with a high curative potential, high potency and high probability of T cell recognition (HP). The method includes: (i) identifying high curative potential tumor protein target i.e., identifying HP-TP; (ii) identifying peptide sequences within the protein sequence of an HP-TP that have a high probability of eliciting T cell killing; and (iii) qualifying the sequence specificity based on the fold difference between the specific target and non-targets. The identified T-cell epitopes include a core sequence of 9 amino acids homologous to a sequence expressed within a qualified HP-TP. The T-cell epitopes can be used in a method for reprograming T cells to selectively attack tumor cells capable of perpetuating a tumor and treating patients, for example, cancer patients.

Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless network planning are provided. The wireless network capacity forecast can account for different usage patterns of different types of wireless communication services and/or of prepaid and postpaid mobile stations. The wireless network capacity forecast can also account for an ability of different mobile stations with different capabilities to operate in different frequency bands. The wireless network capacity forecast can identify base sites that should be split into two or more base sites.

Abstract: This invention is directed to prosthesis, which, when implanted into a mammalian patient, serves as a functioning replacement for a body part, or tissue structure, and will undergo controlled biodegradation occurring concomitantly with bioremodeling by the patient's living cells. The prosthesis is treated so that it is rendered non-antigenic so as not to elicit a significant humoral immune response. The prosthesis of this invention, in its various embodiments, thus has dual properties. First, it functions as a substitute body part, and second, it functions as bioremodeling template for the ingrowth of host cells.
