  • Patent number: 8834878
    Abstract: A method for the treatment of cancer is provided wherein a cancer recognition (CARE) antigen or CARE antibody is administered to a patient. Administration of the CARE antigen or antibody will induce an immune or promote a response of IgM CARE antibodies which will bind to CARE antigen bound to cancer cells, inducing an immune response to destroy the cancer cells. Subsequent to said treatment, ELISA assays may be used to detect levels of said CARE antigen to monitor the efficacy of the treatment, and to govern the further administration of CARE antigens.

  • Patent number: 8247435
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a scientific formulation useful in the treatment and prevention of human and animal diseases. A biologically effective amount of each of the components of the formulation is administered to patients in pill (or capsule) form via multiple different and identifiable pills. The compounds of the formulation are segregated into different pill types, and contain various amounts of the compounds Curcumin, Genistein, Squalamine, Vitamin E, N-Acetyl-Cysteine, Methylselenocysteine, Zinc Gluconate, B Complex, Lentinen, Coenzyme Q10 Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Lipoic Acid, Resveratrol, and Vitamin C. Furthermore, Arabinoxylan and/or Peperine may be added to the various pill formulations.

  • Publication number: 20090029347
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of using antibodies attached to different types of microspheres against different antigens located within a biological sample. Optical and electronic particle detection may be used to separate the microspheres via flow cytometry, allowing the subsequent measurement of multiple analytes in a single sample of body fluid by separating and gating such analytes based on the type of microsphere to which the analyte is coupled. According to the present disclosure, various biological components may be attached to microspheres of different volumes, shapes, conductivity, densities, and/or colors to detect biological components by gating on the type of microsphere and analyzing the biological component attached thereto.

  • Publication number: 20090028800
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards administering a biologically effective amount of a thiomolybdate compound to a patient who demonstrates either depressive or aggressive behavior. According to the present disclosure, thiomolybdate compounds can be administered orally, sublingually, intravascular, intraperitoneal, intradermal, intramuscular, or via any other known administrative techniques. Administration of the thiomolybdate compound lowers the blood serum copper level in the patient, thereby reducing the efficacy of the copper levels which helped cause the onset or postpartum depression or aggression.

  • Patent number: 7306919
    Abstract: A method for the isolation and purification of a cancer recognition (CARE) antigen about 66,000 Dalton molecular weight with a pH between 4.5 and 6.5, and detection of antibodies to this CARE antigen (CARE antibody). The CARE antigen and CARE antibody are cancer markers for a broad range of cancers and can be detected in fluids or tissues of cancer patients with simple ELISA assays. The combined use of these assays for both the CARE antigen and the CARE antibody provide improved sensitivity and selectivity for cancer detection compared to assaying for the antigen or antibody alone. The CARE antigen and antibodies to this antigen have therapeutic usefulness.

  • Patent number: 4906561
    Abstract: Nuclear isolation media and procedures are described for dissociating discrete, non-agglomerated cell nuclei from animal tissue without the need to use enzyme treatments, centrifugation or the like in order to achieve the desired separation. The media facilitates separation and maintains the nuclear membrane intact and in its normal physiological environment. When a DNA-fluorochrome stain is included in the medium an essentially one step combination nuclear isolation and DNA staining procedure is used to measure DNA in tissue cells by flow cytometry. Rapid and consistant results are obtained and multiple sampling of the same tissue or comparison between whole tissues and their single cell isolates are also described.

  • Patent number: 4818103
    Abstract: A flow cytometer has an aperture in which an inlet chamber and/or an outlet chamber have predetermined geometric relationships with respect to the aperture for decreasing electronic edge effects and increasing the sensitivity of electronic particle volume measurements. In one embodiment, the aperture is triangular and is formed by assembling a plurality of truncated pyramids with their truncated surfaces defining aperture walls. At least one of the elements forming the aperture walls is either part of a lens systems or a transparent cover plate so that simultaneous optical and electronic cell volume measurements can be performed. In one embodiment, a piezoelectric transducer is provided to sonically clear any aperture clogging.
