  • Publication number: 20250108119
    Abstract: The invention provides novel glucocorticosteroids, glucocorticosteroid-linkers and antibody drug conjugates (ADC's) comprising an antibody or antibody fragment which binds to an antigen expressed on immune cells, optionally an antigen expressed on human immune cells. In some instances the ADCs comprise an anti-human VISTA (V-region Immunoglobulin-containing Suppressor of T cell Activation (1)) antibody or anti-VISTA antigen-binding antibody fragment which binds to VISTA expressing cells at physiologic pH having a short serum half-life (?24-72 or 24-48 or 12-24 hours or less in a human VISTA knock-in rodent or ((?1-3.5 days or less in a human or non-human primate). In some instances these ADCs have a rapid onset of action and are potent for prolonged duration as they are very effectively internalized by immune cells in large amounts where they are cleaved releasing large amounts of active steroid payload.

  • Publication number: 20250111067
    Abstract: Arrangements for steganography-based security document access control are provided. In some examples, a security policy for a document may be generated. The security policy may include identification of one or more users authorized to access the document and one or more response actions to execute upon violation of the security policy. The generated security policy may be embedded in the document using steganography. Accordingly, transmission of the document may include transmission of the security policy with the document. The document may be transmitted to a destination node. A user at the destination node may request access to the document. In response to the request, the security policy embedded in the document may be executed to confirm whether the user is an authorized user. If the user is authorized, access to the document may be enabled. If the user is not authorized, the one or more response actions may be executed.

  • Publication number: 20250084720
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method for treating an isolated hydrocarbon interval feedable through a production tubing inside a well bore and forming an annulus therebetween. A perforated cylindrical tool having an expandable annular seal may attach to the production tubing and house a slidable element positionally responsive to an injection velocity of a well fluid. The tool may be lowered to a sealing depth for bracketing the hydrocarbon interval. Injection of the well fluid may drag a narrowing bore of the slidable element downward for expanding the annular seal against the well bore. The well fluid may also be directed from the element bore to the annulus by aligning an element flow port with a corresponding tool passage, a downstream or an upstream flow being selectable by an injection velocity for slidably aligning the corresponding flow ports having different axial locations.

  • Patent number: 12091715
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for making DNA libraries for massive parallel next generation sequencing (NGS), comprises two parts. These methods may be referred to as Triseq sequencing. The first part includes ligating a UMI adapter, amplifying the DNA fragments in the presence of dUTP, enriching the target molecules through primer extension by using a panel of both forward and reverse primers, and removing the dU-containing template DNA. The DNA molecules are organized to primary clones and subclones, labeled by the UMI on 5? and 3? end of the DNA fragments, respectively. The second part includes sequencing the DNA library by NGS, deducing consensus sequence from each subclone, and from within each primary clone, and between the consensus sequences obtained from both forward and reverse primers.
