Abstract: A vaporizer for heating a liquid phase fuel, the vaporizer comprising a reservoir having a least one wall for containing a liquid and a heat-conducting fluid within the reservoir. A heating core extending into the reservoir such that the heating core is in fluid contact with the heat-conducting fluid and the heating core has an inlet through which the liquid phase fuel will flow and an outlet through which the vaporized liquid phase fuel will flow. A heating passage having at least one open end extending at least partially within the reservoir such that at least a portion of an exterior surface of the heating passage is in fluid contact with the heat-conducting fluid. A heat source communicating with the open end of the heating passage to heat the heating passage, which in turn heats the heat conducting fluid and the liquid phase fuel within the heating core to vaporize the liquid phase fuel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for determining or modulating the activity of immune and/or target cells in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo. The invention more specifically relates to methods and compositions for determining sensitivity of cells to the activity of ??T cells, as well as to the use of these compositions and methods for patient screening or selection, therapy improvement, compound selection, etc. The invention also provides compositions and kits suitable for carrying out these methods. The methods may be used in any mammalian subject, preferably any human subject that may benefit from ??T cell-mediated therapy, including patients with tumors, immune or infectious diseases.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of at least one domain of ATP synthase as a lipoprotein receptor.
