Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification, functionality and use of domains from the N terminus of the receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (AGER). These domains, called receptor mulitimerization epitope (RME), are highly conserved in all AGER protein sequences. They represent the mediators for AGER self-association and heteromerization with other proteins. The invention likewise relates to the identification, functionality and use of peptides derived from the C domain of AGER (AGER-CDP). The AGER RMEs and AGER-CDPs of the invention are suitable as target for identifying AGER ligands which modulate the natural ligand interaction; as immunogen for active or passive immunization of individuals, as diagnostic means for identifying immunogenic reactions, and as peptide ligands for modulating protein-protein interactions involving AGER.

Abstract: A continuous method manufactures a laminated electrolyte and electrode assembly (“laminated assembly”) comprising at least one pre-formed electrode layer, at least one catalyst layer and at least one electrolyte layer for an electrochemical cell. The method comprises forming at least one of the catalyst or electrolyte layers in situ and using it as a laminating medium. The method produces a laminated assembly in a continuous sheet, which may be later cut to size and shape for use in electrochemical cells. The method may comprise co-extruding granular catalyst and/or electrolyte materials. In one embodiment, the catalyst and electrolyte layers are co-extruded. The co-extruded tri-layer extrusion is laminated with immediately adjacent pre-formed electrode layers. In another embodiment the catalyst layer is extruded and the catalyst layer acts as the laminating medium between immediately adjacent pre-formed electrode and electrolyte layers.
