Abstract: Provided is a novel vector for immunostimulation and methods of using same in immunotherapy, in particular cancer immunotherapy. The novel vector comprises nucleic acid sequences encoding 4-1BB ligand (4-1BBL, CD137 ligand), single chain IL-12 (sc IL-12) and IL-2, wherein the vector provides for an increased expression of 4-1BBL as compared to the expression levels of sc IL-12 and IL-2. Specifically, the nucleic acid sequences encoding 4-1BBL, sc IL-12 and IL-2 are organized in the vector in 5? to 3? orientation in a sequential order 1, 2, 3, with the proviso that the gene encoding sc IL-12 is not at position 1. Embodiments of the present disclosure include virus particles comprising the novel vector as well as cancer or immune cells transduced or transfected with the novel vector.

Abstract: An Anchor Bolt Setter mechanism assembly designed to attach to various different types of pre-erected foundation forms in order to properly set anchor bolts to code specifications before the concrete is poured. The Anchor Bolt Setter (“ABS”) is robust and strong in order to withstand the force of pouring concrete. Different embodiments correspond with different types of foundation forms regardless of whether or not concrete is poured to the top of foundation forms, and support the many different sizes of anchor bolts in both width and length, suspending these anchor bolts before the concrete is poured. An anchor bolt is placed into the ABS bolt holder that corresponds with the desired location of the anchor bolt, and the ABS suspends and holds the anchor bolt in place against the force of pouring concrete. The ABS is removed after the concrete is cured and may be reused.
