  • PREDICTION OF ANTIVIRAL THERAPY RESPONSE
    Publication number: 20130252233
    Abstract: The application relates to methods for determining whether or not antiviral therapies will be effective. In particular, the present application provides a method using miRNA, e.g. miR-122 or miR-296-5p, for determining the likelihood that a subject having a viral infection of the liver will be responsive to antiviral therapy that includes stimulation of Interferon (IFN) activity, and kits for the performance of said determination.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 9, 2013
    Publication date: September 26, 2013
    Applicants: Research

  • Motor with impeller/rotor combination
    Patent number: 6835051
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pump for fluid media, more particularly to a cooling water pump for internal combustion engines with an electric motor configured as a disk armature for actuating the pump, said electric motor being directly connected to an impeller (6) of the pump. A simple structure and high operational reliability are achieved in that a driving flange (18) projects radially outward on the outer circumference of the pump's impeller, magnets (19) or windings (20) being molded therein for the contactless drive of the impeller (6).
