  • Publication number: 20240138561
    Abstract: A workplace organizer is useful for storing, separating, attaching, and moving cords (power supply, USB, HDMI, etc.) to mobile devices. The organizer has the form of a specially formed bulldog clip where one of the jaw members has a cord retention slot formed to extend from the clipping edge, while the other has a plurality of preferably offset slots at that same clipping edge. Each of the jaw members has a curving shape. In order to secure the retained position of the cords in the organizer, an end cap may be detachably fitted over the clipping edge and/or a sliding insert can be received in slots or retention channels on or in at least one of the jaw members. A detachable, segmented handle can be used to easy grasp and move the organizer. The jaw members, end cap, sliding insert, and handle all possess prominent surfaces on which printed indicia can be displayed.

  • Patent number: 11773183
    Abstract: The present document describes an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment that bind to O-glycan mucin-type glycoprotein MUC16 comprising three variable heavy domain complementarity determining regions (CDR)(CDR H1, H2 and H3), and three variable lighy domain CDR (CDR L1, L2 and L3). The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions, nucleic acid vectors, cells comprising the nucleic acid vectors, and methods of inhibiting tumor growth of a tumor expressing O-glycan mucin-type glycoprotein MUC16.

  • Patent number: 10975163
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for increasing the permeability of a stroma around a neoplasm, and particularly to cancer cells associated with solid tumors. In one embodiment, combining a therapeutic IgE antibody with an anti-cancer agent in accordance with the invention increases the delivery of the anticancer agent to the site of, for example, a solid tumor in a subject. In one embodiment, combining a therapeutic IgE antibody with an anti-cancer agent in accordance with the invention potentiates a tumor's responsiveness and sensitivity to the anti-cancer agent.

  • Patent number: 7358087
    Abstract: Molecular adjuvants are disclosed comprising an antigen presenting cell-targeting ligand linked to an immunogen. In particular, these molecular adjuvants are employed in compositions designed to deliver the specific immunogen to antigen presenting cells and simultaneously deliver signals to those cells that produce the desired immune response. Methods are also disclosed for delivery of these molecular adjuvants to patients, resulting in the transduction of activating signals to the targeted antigen presenting cell, thereby enhancing the immune response to the co-delivered immunogen.

  • Publication number: 20070031445
    Abstract: Molecular adjuvants are disclosed comprising an antigen presenting cell-targeting ligand linked to an immunogen, e.g. tumor associated antigens, bacterial or viral antigens. The ligand and the immunogen are linked via a cleavable linker such as a protease-sensitive oligopeptide, to facilitate processing of the adjuvant by the antigen presenting cell. Methods are disclosed for delivery of these molecular adjuvants to patients, resulting in the transduction of activating signals to the targeted antigen presenting cell, thereby enhancing the immune response to the co-delivered immunogen.

  • Patent number: 7166704
    Abstract: A human nucleic acid, PD2, its encoded protein and antibodies immunologically specific thereto are disclosed herein. The expression of the disclosed PD2 gene plays a key role in the regulation of differentiation and in the maintenance of the neoplastic state. The PD2 gene and its encoded protein represent valuable therapeutic targets in the differential diagnosis and therapy of pancreatic adenocarcinomas.

  • Patent number: 6821517
    Abstract: Molecular adjuvants are disclosed comprising an antigen presenting cell-targeting ligand functionally linked to an immunogen, e.g. tumor associated antigens, bacterial or viral antigens, etc. Methods are disclosed for delivery of these molecular adjuvants to patients, resulting in the transduction of activating signals to the targeted antigen presenting cell, thereby enhancing the immune response to the co-delivered immunogen.

  • Patent number: 4610575
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for removing small quantities of fiber or like material from a plurality of bales of the same arranged in rows. The apparatus comprises angularly arranged conduits, one end of which is maintained in sealing relation to another and mechanism for moving up and down one of the conduits for removing the fiber from the bales. Improved sealing means for the mechanism comprises generally flat strips of material spanning and sealing slots in the upper surfaces of the conduits together with means to run under the strip of material without losing the seal. One of such mechanisms seals the two conduits together and the other such mechanism carries the actual pickup mechanism and seals it to the conduit up and down which it reciprocates. All of the mechanisms are under control of an operator who walks up and down the aisles between the rows of bales.
