Publication number: 20230285568Abstract: Phospholipid-conjugated Ags were used as an agnostic delivery platform to cell type, activation state, and inherent uptake capabilities for engineering APCs to control Ag-specific cellular immune responses. Lipid-mediated delivery (termed depoting) of MHC class I and II-restricted Ags successfully loaded resting polyclonal B cells, CD40? activated B cells, and DCs in a dose-dependent manner for priming Ag-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, respectively. When lipid-conjugated Ags were paired with polymer-conjugated Ags and incorporated in nanoparticles (NPs), diverse APCs with varying NP internalization capabilities all processed the lipid-conjugated Ags via depoting while only DCs processed the PLGA-conjugated Ags via endocytosis. Multivariate analyses of cytokine secretions indicated that lipid-conjugated Ags could be distinctly classified from polymer-conjugated Ags.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2021Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: University of Maryland, Balltimore CountyInventors: Ryan M.

Publication number: 20230201385Abstract: The invention relates to a non-invasive imaging method of bacteria. One embodiment comprises labeling the bacteria with a radioisotope, then delivering it to the gut of a human or animal. Another embodiment is to label bacteriophages, then administer them to a human or animal, so that they infect (and thus co-localize with) bacteria already resident in the human or animal. The bacteriophage can then be imaged, showing the location of the resident bacteria of interest. In another embodiment, the invention is related more generally to the labelling of bacteria or bacteriophages with a radio-metal or radioisotope to render the labeled gut bacteria and the bacteria in the body visible to nuclear medicine PET and SPECT imaging guided by functional/structural MRI and/or CT imaging.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2021Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Donna E.

Patent number: 10387174Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for extending a remote desktop to a multi monitor configuration, with each monitor being viewable via a separate web client or native client, where the clients may further be executing on separate computing devices. After an initial remote desktop session is initiated via a first client, a second session with the remote desktop can be requested via a second client, which may be a web client or a native client executing on the same or different computing device as the first client. The remote desktop can be reconfigured to two monitor mode including a first and a second monitor. The graphical data of the first monitor can be streamed to the first client and the graphical data of the second monitor can be streamed to the second client. Consequently, the remote desktop can be extended to additional monitors in the same way.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Yanchao Zhang, Yang Liu, Michael Zhang, Helena Zhang, Lin Lv, Cherry Zhou
