  • Patent number: 11965173
    Abstract: There is provided a plasmid system for transfection into a cell to create a producer cell, the system comprising: a. a helper plasmid comprising a first nucleotide sequence encoding Murine leukemia virus (MLV)-derived Gag and Pol poly-proteins; b. an envelope plasmid comprising a second nucleotide sequence encoding an Env protein; c. a genome plasmid comprising a third nucleotide sequence encoding a retroviral genome, wherein the first nucleotide sequence is codon-shuffled to remove any significant regions of homology with the third nucleotide sequence; and wherein the second nucleotide sequence is codon-optimised for expression in the producer cell.

  • Publication number: 20240082135
    Abstract: The current application discloses a composition that comprises at least one peptide with a sequence length of 6-12 amino acids, where 2-5 of those amino acids are cysteines for the treatment and cosmetics of animal hair, in preference human hair. There are several hair styling methods that involve breakage and reestablishment of disulfide bonds, allowing relaxation and straightening of the hair. However, the most effective methods currently used to modulate hair contain harmful chemicals. Thus, there is a constant demand for formulations that efficiently model the hair fiber without damage. Thus, the present invention aims to provide a composition for treatment of the hair, including animal and human hair, without the use of chemicals harmful to the hair fiber and consumer health and uses of said compositions in shampoo, lotion, serum, cream, conditioner, foam, elixir, oil, aerosol or mask.

  • Publication number: 20210248543
    Abstract: Systems and methods for coordinating data exchanges are disclosed. One exemplary method generally includes receiving a work order for expected services by a terminal operator for handling cargo of a shipping line, converting the work order to a standard format, and requesting a pre-authorization for a transaction for the work order along with a virtual card number (VCN) for the shipping line. The method then includes receiving a final invoice for handling the cargo and extracting data from the final invoice for the expected services for handling the cargo and for unexpected services, and for a final invoice amount. The method further includes generating a standard form final invoice including the data for the expected services and the unexpected services, transmitting the standard form final invoice to the terminal operator and the shipping line, and initiating a transaction for the final invoice amount based on the VCN.
