Abstract: The invention provides a protein that is a tumor marker protein. This protein can be used to prepare antibodies that bind to the tumor marker protein. These antibodies can be used to reduce, or eliminate metastasis by cancer cells that produce the tumor marker protein. In addition, the invention provides methods that can be used to diagnose cancer, and metastasis by cancer cells.

Abstract: In a machine for making cigarette rods containing two types of tobacco there is provided a dual hopper (1200) for containing the two types of tobacco separately and a conveyor (1206) to transport the tobaccos side by side to a chute (1203) and then to a carding area (1214). The levels of the tobaccos in the carding area are monitored and if one is too high then an appropriate flap (306,308) in the chute is opened and that type of tobacco is diverted and recycled to the hopper (1200) until the level of that tobacco in the carding area has returned to an acceptable level, whereupon said flap is closed and that type of tobacco is able to re-enter the carding area.

Abstract: A method of forming sheet from reconstituted tobacco involves the formation of a high solids content slurry of which the particle size is less than 60 B.S. mesh. The slurry is then extruded through a single pair of rollers onto a wire mesh conveyor, or onto a continuous casting band which is itself supported by one of the rollers. The high solids content reduces the energy costs in drying the extruded sheet and the use of a single pair of rollers reduced the costs of the machinery.
