Abstract: A thermo-fusible adhesive composition comprising at least one ethylene and butyl acrylate copolymer cohesion agent. The thermo-fusible adhesive composition may further comprise at least one adhesive hydrocarbon resin, preferably hydrogenated, and at least one ethylene and acrylate copolymer. The present disclosure also relates to the use of the corresponding thermo-fusible adhesive compositions in the production of manufactured articles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of at least one ethylene and butyl acrylate copolymer, as defined below, as a cohesion agent, in a hot-melt adhesive composition. The invention also relates to a hot-melt adhesive composition comprising at least one adhesive hydrocarbon resin, preferably hydrogenated, and at least one ethylene and acrylate copolymer as defined below. The invention also relates to the use of the corresponding hot-melt adhesive composition for the production of a manufactured article.

Abstract: The present invention provides an optimized FLP site-specific recombinase coding sequence and methods for its use. This genetically engineered FLP gene displays a marked increase in recombination efficiency compared to the native FLP gene and is therefore useful in a wide array of molecular applications.

Abstract: Transgenic non-human animals one having a general deletor construct and a second having a general reporter construct are described. The general deletor animals express a heterologous recombinase under the control of an ubiquitously expressed endogenous promoter. Specifically, the Cre recombinase is inserted into the ROSA26 locus of the mouse. The general reporter animals have a gene which is desired to remove flanked by sites recognized by the is heterologous recombinase. This flanked sequence is operatively associated with a marker gene such that when the gene sequence flanked by sites recognized by the heterologous recombinase is excised, the reporter gene is expressed. When the general deletor mouse is crossed with the general reporter mouse the heterologous recombinase is expressed in essentially all cells of the resultant descendants under the control of the ubiquitous promoter. Expression of the recombinase results in the excision of the desired gene in essentially all cells of the descendant animals.
