  • Patent number: 8753622
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel RNA picornavirus that is called Seneca Valley virus (“SVV”). The invention provides isolated SVV nucleic acids and proteins encoded by these nucleic acids. Further, the invention provides antibodies that are raised against the SVV proteins. Because SVV has the ability to selectively kill some types of tumors, the invention provides methods of using SVV and SVV polypeptides to treat cancer. Because SVV specifically targets certain tumors, the invention provides methods of using SVV nucleic acids and proteins to detect cancer. Additionally, due to the information provided by the tumor-specific mechanisms of SVV, the invention provides methods of making new oncolytic virus derivatives and of altering viruses to have tumor-specific tropisms.

  • Patent number: 8732799
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and a system for processing an authenticator relocation request. When detecting that initial authentication, re-authentication or authenticator relocation is being performed for a terminal, a network side refuses a new authenticator relocation request from the terminal. When detecting that no initial authentication, re-authentication or authenticator relocation is being performed for the terminal, the network side accepts the new authenticator relocation request from the terminal. Further, when detecting that the initial authentication, the re-authentication or the authenticator relocation is being performed for the terminal, the network side refuses a new re-authentication request from the terminal. According to the technical solution of the disclosure, the complexity of network element processing is reduced and potential safety hazard is avoided.
