Patent number: 11305000Abstract: The invention relates to the development of chimeric OspA molecules for use in a new Lyme vaccine. More specifically, the chimeric OspA molecules comprise the proximal portion from one OspA serotype, together with the distal portion from another OspA serotype, while retaining antigenic properties of both of the parent polypeptides. The chimeric OspA molecules are delivered alone or in combination to provide protection against a variety of Borrelia genospecies. The invention also provides methods for administering the chimeric OspA molecules to a subject in the prevention and treatment of Lyme disease or borreliosis.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignees: Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, The Research Foundation of State University of New York, Baxalta Incorporated, Baxalta GmbHInventors: Brian A.

Patent number: 11065910Abstract: A color shifting heat transfer label includes a carrier and a color design layer on the carrier. The color design layer is formulated from an ink having a color shifting effect. The color design layer is configured to separate from the carrier to define a color shifting feature that is adhered to a target object upon application of heat and pressure. The color shifting feature is adhered to the target object to define a plane defined by the color shifting feature such that the color shifting feature exhibits a first color when viewed from an angle of about 90 degrees relative to the plane defined by the color shifting feature and a second color, different from the first color when viewed from an angle of about 45 degrees or less relative to the plane defined by the color shifting feature.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Huanyu Wei, Caroline Maria O'Leary, S.
