Abstract: The invention features a novel hybrid interferon species that comprises a chain of 161 and/or 162 amino acids. The hybrid is novel not only for its new structure, but also because the hybrid comprises a shortened or truncated segment of alpha interferon, and hence, an entirely new interferon species which is not occurring in nature.
Abstract: A method and composition for suppressing the immune response are disclosed which employ an immunosuppressing effective amount of certain aryl-substituted naphthyridines and pyrido-pyrazines.
Abstract: Novel and useful silylenol intermediates for preparing penem and carbapenem antibacterials and a process for making selected intermediates are disclosed.
Abstract: A method of manufacture and the product made thereby are set forth; in the preferred and illustrated embodiment, a core including an insect poison is encapsulated by shell material melting and hardening for encapsulation. The core is primarily soybean extract mixed with DURSBAN.RTM. insecticide, an example of a toxicant. The surrounding shell or encapsulation is formed by melt extrusion of shell material. The surrounding shell encloses the core material to form an impervious shell. The surrounding shell includes soy protein as an insect attractant mixed in gelatin or poly(vinyl alcohol). A gelling agent such as carrageenan and the attractant were added to the shell. The beads formed by the melt extrusion encapsulation has sufficient shell strength to enable mechanical handling for dispensing, are resistant to water, do not bleed from the inside to the outside, and yet can be penetrated by the insect.
