Abstract: Here we show that SEG/SEI presented from a HLA-DQ8 (HLA-DQB*0302 and HLA-DQA*0301) platform prevent the de novo outgrowth (vaccination) of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) and B16-F10 melanoma and retard the growth of established tumors with no significant toxicity. Vaccination of DQ8 tg mice with irradiated LLC or B16-F10 melanoma followed by SEG/SEI immunization and live tumor challenge resulted in 100 and 66% survival respectively for 200 days compared to a median survival of 20 days for untreated controls (p<0.001). In vaccination studies, DQ8 tg mice showed a surge in IFN? serum levels reaching 3000 fold above baseline devoid of a parallel spike in TNF? levels above baseline levels. Presentation of the SEG/SEI superantigen from a MHC-DQ8 platform, therefore, augments the therapeutic index of these SAgs inducing a tumoricidal response against Lewis lung carcinoma and B16 melanoma accompanied by a sharp increase of therapeutic IFN? levels absent toxic levels of TNF?.

Abstract: A gas sensor for sensing a gas of interest includes a ceramic carrier and a porous ceramic lid that is secured to the ceramic carrier. The porous ceramic lid and the ceramic carrier together define a sensor cavity. A gas sensor is situated in the sensor cavity and is spaced from the porous ceramic lid. The porous ceramic lid is configured to allow the gas of interest to move through at least part of the porous ceramic lid and into the sensor cavity to be sensed by the gas sensor. In some cases, the gas sensor is a MEMS gas sensor.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to aligning content displayed from a projector on to a touch sensitive mat. Examples include detecting a border of the mat, wherein the mat includes a surface area of a first spectral reflectance characteristic on to which the projector is to project the content, and the border of a second spectral reflectance characteristic different from the first spectral reflectance characteristic surrounding a perimeter of the surface area. As an example, detecting the border of the mat generally includes differentiating the second spectral reflectance characteristic of the border from the first spectral reflectance characteristic of the surface area. Examples include detecting a border of the content displayed on to the mat, and adjusting projector settings for the border of the content displayed on to the mat to fit within the detected border of the mat.
