  • Antibodies specific for the melanoma-associated endogenous retrovirus (MERV) envelope glycoprotein
    Patent number: 8541553
    Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies, or fragments thereof, for isolating and/or identifying epitopes of an endogenous retrovirus, preferably of a melanoma associated endogenous retrovirus, and hybridoma cells producing said antibodies. The antibodies are useful especially for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer. Further, the present application covers diagnostic kits for the detection of cancer cells, especially of melanoma cells and methods for cancer diagnosis using said antibodies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 2008
    Date of Patent: September 24, 2013
    Assignee: Baxter Healthcare SA
    Inventors: Johannes Humer, Bernd Mayer, Thomas Muster, Andrea Waltenberger
  • Melanoma-Associated Endogenous Retrovirus (MERV) Derived Peptide Sequences And Their Therapeutic/Diagnostic Use
    Publication number: 20100285509
    Abstract: The present invention provides antigenic polypeptides derived from the melanoma-associated endogenous retrovirus (MERV). These antigens are useful compounds for the detection of cancerous cells and melanoma-diagnosis as well as melanoma-prognosis. Furthermore these antigenic polypeptides of the present invention form the basis for anti-cancer vaccines.

  • Aluminium alloy for an anti-friction element
    Patent number: 6783869
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aluminium alloy for an anti-friction element containing respectively, as a % by weight, 4.2% to 4.8% Zn, 3.0% to 7.0% Si, 0.8% to 1.2% Cu, 0.7% to 1.3% Pb, 0.12% to 0.18% Mg, 0% to 0.3% Mn and 0% to 0.2% Ni. Also incorporated, based on % by weight, are 0.05% to 0.1% Zr, 0% to 0.05% Ti, 0% to 0.4% Fe, 0% to 0.2% Sn. The rest is formed by Al with the usual incidental impurities depending on the melt.
