Publication number: 20100047215Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for delivering stem cells to a target tissue in a mammal using glycoconjugate to traffic the stem cells to a desired organ in the mammal. The methods according to the present invention are especially applicable to administering stem cells such as those derived from the bone marrow or from umbilical cord tissue. The methods are also useful for targeting a gene of interest to a tissue in a mammal by introducing a cell containing the gene of interest and administering a glycoconjugate to the mammal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2009Publication date: February 25, 2010Inventors: Catherine A.

Patent number: 6824688Abstract: A filter for removing leukocytes from blood comprises a filter media enclosed in a housing. The filter media includes a main filter region comprising a porous membrane structure extending between first and second skin surfaces. The porous membrane structure is formed by intersecting cells having a range of diameters. The cells adjacent to the first skin surface have diameters generally smaller than the diameters of the cells adjacent to the second skin surface. The first skin surface includes an open area defined by pores, which are formed by the intersection of cells with the first skin surface. The majority of the open area is defined by pores having a diameter of between about 12 &mgr;m and 28 &mgr;m.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2003Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: Baxter International Inc.Inventors: Julian P.

Patent number: 6688476Abstract: A fluid filter assembly for filtering fluids such as blood is described. The assembly includes first and second filter housing elements formed by an injection molding process. Each element is flexible and includes a peripheral flange formed thereabout and a fluid communicating port formed therein. Filter media, such as a filter membrane, is sealed between the mating flanges of two elements. The fluid filter assembly is capable of collapsing and expanding during the filtration process depending upon the composition of the fluid passed there through. A method for making the filter assembly and systems for using the filter assembly are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2002Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Baxter International Inc.Inventors: Julian P Breillatt, Jr., John C Burnham, Allen R Wons, Randy Murphy, Daryl R Calhoun, Daniel R Lynn

Patent number: 5728306Abstract: A leukodepletion filter is provided including glass fiber filter pads and non-woven polyester fiber filter pads sealed within a filter housing. The filter is designed such that a fluid, such as whole blood, packed red blood cells, platelets or plasma, is conducted through the glass fiber filter pads before the non-woven polyester fiber filter pads. A method is further provided for leukodepleting a body fluid by filtering the body fluid through glass fiber filter pads and also filtering the body fluid through non-woven polyester fiber filter pads. After filtering, the body fluid is collected.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1994Date of Patent: March 17, 1998Assignee: Baxter International Inc.Inventors: Julian P. Breillatt, Jr., Sharon L.

Patent number: 3955755Abstract: A blood separation centrifuge rotor having a generally parabolic core disposed concentrically and spaced apart within a housing having a similarly shaped cavity. Blood is introduced through a central inlet and into a central passageway enlarged downwardly to decrease the velocity of the entrant blood. Septa are disposed inside the central passageway to induce rotation of the entrant blood. A separation chamber is defined between the core and the housing wherein the whole blood is separated into red cell, white cell, and plasma zones. The zones are separated by annular splitter blades disposed within the separation chamber. The separated components are continuously removed through conduits communicating through a face seal to the outside of the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 1975Date of Patent: May 11, 1976Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States Energy Research and Development AdministrationInventors: Julian P.
