  • VACCINE
    Publication number: 20100184836
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel HIV polypeptide and polynucleotide fusions of Gag, Pol and Nef which are useful in immunogenic compositions and vaccines. The invention relates in particular to a polypeptide which comprises Nef or an immunogenic fragment thereof, and p17 Gag and/or p24 Gag or immunogenic fragments thereof, wherein when both p17 and p24 Gag are present there is at least one HIV antigen or immunogenic fragment between them. The polypeptide may also comprise Pol or RT or an immunogenic fragment thereof.

  • Method and apparatus for labeling perishable items
    Publication number: 20030071456
    Abstract: Storage time of a perishable item in a perishable item storage system is tracked using a set of reusable labels with distinguishing features that associate each label with a distinct time unit. The distinguishing features are used to group labels, each group being associated with one of the time units. The labels permit a user to readily determine by visual inspection a time when a labeled item was added to the perishable item storage system. The time units may be days of the week.
