  • Patent number: 8597893
    Abstract: A novel function phospholipase A2, referred to herein as calcium-independent phospholipase A2? (iPLA2?) having SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2, and nucleic acid sequences (SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4) encoding and expressing iPLA2? is disclosed. This novel enzyme has been isolated and characterized and is involved in the catalysis and hydrolysis of lipids cycling in a living cell biosystem. In an embodiment, the iPLA2? polypeptide is encoded and expressed by an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a set of iPLA2? polynucleotides. In one aspect, an isolated and characterized gene comprises a polynucleotide having a sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20020026359
    Abstract: A method of targeted advertising includes generating a targeted advertising and/or promotional campaign material corresponding to a client's selections, fulfilling the targeted advertising and/or promotional campaign material, and providing a response tracking analysis to the client. The targeted advertising and/or promotional campaign material includes a response tracking capability. Access for the client to contact a central facility having public and/or private client databases with list management capabilities can be provided on-line via a client web site. The client can choose from a selection of templates to design of the targeted advertising and/or promotional campaign material. Also, the client can choose from a selection of intended recipients by using and/or modifying a new or pre-existing customer list. The targeted advertising and/or promotional campaign material can be manufactured and distributed to the intended recipients.
