Patent number: 11053478Abstract: A method for separating virus-like particles from a cell suspension of host cells. The virus-like particles having at least one envelope protein embedded in a lipid double membrane including at least a portion corresponding to a small envelope protein of a virus of the family Hepadnaviridae. The host cells are disrupted to obtain a first suspension. A supernatant containing the virus-like particles is separated from the first suspension. Then, an adsorbent is added to the supernatant and separated off. Then, the virus-like particles are desorbed from the adsorbent by adding a desorption buffer. A soluble calcium salt is added to a supernatant separated from the second suspension to form a precipitate, the precipitate formed is separated off and transferred to a third suspension. The virus-like particles are separated from the third suspension and purified.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: ARTES BIOTECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: David Wetzel, Volker Jenzelewski, Michael Piontek

Publication number: 20140149242Abstract: A modular merchandiser and system with a frame of vertical posts and horizontal bars is carried on legs and carries grid elements sandwiching an indicia panel. Adjacent merchandiser panels can be linearly, perpendicularly or angularly (from about 10° to 350°) joined, and placed on the front end or other positions in various locations to carry various product on novel, height adjustable accessories and merchandising effects. Various parts of the merchandiser and the accessories therefor may be obtained in a first financial transaction (lease or sale) and others in subsequent financial transactions to update the same. Supporting special software can be similarly obtained and used to achieve uniform displays by using the included indicia panel. The system permits easier, less expensive, less wasteful, faster, and more environmentally friendly updating of the merchandiser, accessories, frame and grid portions separately.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2011Publication date: May 29, 2014Inventors: Harold L.
