Patent number: 11814345Abstract: Described is an extraction device for extracting compounds from plant material and a method for using such an extraction device. The extraction device comprises an extraction tank receiving plant material and dissolving soluble compounds inside the plant material into a solvent to form a micelle. A series of fluidly connected separation chambers separate purified compounds from the micelle, resulting in purified compounds in each of the separation chambers and solvent. A heat exchanger and a chilled reservoir are used for cooling and storing the solvent. A pump is used for pumping and circulating the solvent into the extraction device. Finally, a control system automatically controls temperature and flow in the extraction device.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: APPLIED EXTRACTS INC.Inventor: James Robert White

Publication number: 20200160939Abstract: Cancer immunology provides promising new avenues for cancer treatment but validation of potential neoantigens to target is costly and expensive. Analysis of MHC binding affinity, antigen processing, similarity to known antigens, predicted expression levels (as mRNA or proteins), self-similarity, and mutant allele frequency, provides screening method to identify and prioritize candidate neoantigens using sequencing data. Methods of the invention thereby save time and money by identifying the priority candidate neoantigens for further experimental validation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2019Publication date: May 21, 2020Inventors: Victor Velculescu, Theresa Zhang, James Robert White, Luis Diaz
