Abstract: The present invention broadly relates to the field of proteomics, bioinformatics & immunology for detection of Neurocysticercosis (NCC). More specifically, the present invention relates to an in vitro immunoassay for the diagnosis of active neurocysticercosis in biological samples. Further, the present invention relates to the identification of a novel antigen comprising of 219 amino acids of Putative lysine rich protein (PLRP) 25 kDa and its use in the detection of Neurocysticercosis. The amino acid sequences of antigenic polypeptides TSPP21 and TSPP22 are provided, polypeptides are useful as detection tool for identification of T. solium for recognizing active antigens in biological samples. In broad spectrum the invention defined here provides method for detecting active antigen in serum and urine of neurocysticercosis patients in kit formulation. In solitary cyst cases and cases where diagnosis is not clear by neuroimaging, this test will be boon in disguise.

Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a rear body opening that is closed by an upwardly-pivoting liftgate assembly that itself defines, when in a closed position, a secondary opening whose lowermost portion achieves a height on the vehicle significantly below the vehicle's beltline. The liftgate assembly also includes a pivotally-mounted liftglass assembly for closing the secondary opening, thereby permitting limited access through the secondary opening into an interior space of the vehicle. When the liftglass assembly is in its closed position, the lowermost edge of the liftglass assembly extends downwardly on the vehicle to a height significantly lower than the vehicle beltline. A raised feature of the liftglass assembly, preferably having a color and surface finish that is coordinated with a painted body surface, defines a step that is substantially aligned with the vehicle beltline to thereby aesthetically substantially continue the vehicle beltline across the rear of the vehicle.

Abstract: A door assembly for a vehicle includes a door subassembly hinged to the vehicle having a window opening and a window subassembly hinged to the vehicle adapted to cover the window opening; the door subassembly and window subassembly having a common hinge axis and the door assembly operable between a closed position, a window subassembly open and door subassembly closed position, and a window subassembly and door subassembly open position.

Abstract: Supported inorganic membranes capable of molecular sieving, and methods for their production, are provided. The subject membranes exhibit high flux and high selectivity. The subject membranes are substantially defect free and less than about 100 nm thick. The pores of the subject membranes have an average critical pore radius of less than about 5 .ANG., and have a narrow pore size distribution. The subject membranes are prepared by coating a porous substrate with a polymeric sol, preferably under conditions of low relative pressure of the liquid constituents of the sol. The coated substrate is dried and calcined to produce the subject supported membrane. Also provided are methods of derivatizing the surface of supported inorganic membranes with metal alkoxides. The subject membranes find use in a variety of applications, such as the separation of constituents of gaseous streams, as catalysts and catalyst supports, and the like.
