  • SINGLE-CHAIN TNF RECEPTOR 2 AGONIST FUSION PROTEINS
    Publication number: 20240076334
    Abstract: This invention provides for a fusion protein between a single chain TNFR2 Selective Agonist protein (scTNFR2 Selective Agonist) and a dimerization domain, such as an IgGFc protein. The single chain TNFR2 Selective Agonist moiety provides a therapeutic activity by selectively activating the TNFR2 form of the TNF-? receptor, thus selectively stimulating Tregs and/or increasing myelin deposition.

  • Rotating back scrubber
    Patent number: 5500972
    Abstract: A scrubber for cleaning a dorsal portion of an individual. The inventive device includes a plurality of cylindrical brushes each symmetrically oriented about an individual axis. The brushes are coupled to rotating assembly for spinning each brush about its individual axis and simultaneously rotating the brushes about a common center axis. The handle extends from the rotating assembly to permit manual manipulation of the device during a bathing procedure.

  • Three-way valve
    Patent number: 4669503
    Abstract: A waste water valve which includes a valve housing having two inlets and an outlet. A valve plug which includes two spaced passageways is rotatably positioned within the valve housing and selectively provides a path for waste water flow through one of the inlets to the other with the other inlet being sealed during such flow.
