  • Publication number: 20210128612
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method of treating a subject having or at risk of having graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) generally includes administering to the subject a plurality of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) effective to ameliorate at least one symptom or clinical sign of graft-versus-host disease compared to a suitable control subject. In another aspect, a method of treating a tumor in a subject generally includes administering to the subject an anti-tumor therapy and co-administering to the subject an inflammasome inciting agent in an amount effective to increase inflammasome activation of MDSCs sufficiently to reduce suppressor function of the MDSCs.

  • Patent number: 7981187
    Abstract: A filter element is includes a cylindrical media pack defining a central open volume and a longitudinal axis; a first end cap having a central aperture in flow communication with the central open volume; and a second, closed end cap having a central region closing an end of the media pack central, open volume. The closed end cap includes a projection extending axially outwardly therefrom and positioned at a location intersected by the longitudinal axis. An end cover for an air cleaner includes an inner side including a central projection thereon. Preferably, the central projection comprises a wall that includes an outer perimeter defining a regular polyhedron having at least five sides. An air cleaner comprises a cylindrical filter element having a first open end cap, a second closed end cap, and a cylindrical media pack extending therebetween. The first end cap defines an internal radial seal region. The second, closed end cap has a central region including a circular recessed portion.

  • Patent number: 6451080
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an air cleaner for moving particles from an air stream. The air cleaner includes a housing defining a separation chamber at which at least some of the particles are removed from the air stream. The air cleaner includes an inlet passage for allowing the air stream to the separation chamber, an outlet passage for allowing the air stream to exit the separation chamber, and a plurality of vanes for causing the air stream to swirl as the air stream flows through the inlet passage and enters the separation chamber. The housing includes a side wall structure defining at least one discharge opening through which particles are discharged as the air stream swirls within the separation chamber.
