Patent number: 7335763Abstract: Hammerhead ribozymes that target components critical to HSV replication (ICP4, UL20, UL30, and UL54) were synthesized and shown to efficiently cleave target RNA encoding a portion of these components in in vitro assays. Several cloned cell lines stably expressing these ribozymes were established. HSV-mediated plaque formation was dramatically reduced in cells stably transfected with an anti-HSV ribozyme compared to non-transfected cells.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2004Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Alfred Samuel Lewin, David Clair Bloom, Gregory Scott Schultz, Sonal Sanjeen Tuli, Jia Liu

Publication number: 20060029841Abstract: Provided is a fuel cell having a selective CO oxidation catalyst with an electronically conductive, particulate support dispersed on a gas diffusion membrane, and a membrane electrode assembly. Also provided is a method of supplying a purified reformate gas to a membrane electrode assembly. The method includes contacting a reformate gas comprising H2 and CO with a gas diffusion membrane while simultaneously adding an oxidant to the reformate gas to convert at least some of the CO to CO2 to form the purified reformate gas. Dispersed on the gas diffusion membrane is a selective CO oxidation catalyst with an electronically conductive, particulate support. The purified reformate gas is then passed to the membrane electrode assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2004Publication date: February 9, 2006Inventors: Olaf Conrad, Lawrence Shore, Scott Schultz
