  • Patent number: 12383602
    Abstract: The invention relates to a HLA-B57 open conformer or a HLA-B57 Fc fusion protein for use in the treatment or prevention of cancer. The Fc open conformer comprises or consists of a first and a second monomer, and each monomer comprises a HLA-B57 chain. The Fc fusion protein further comprises a protein stabilizing polypeptide sequence and optionally an amino acid linker. Further aspects of the invention provide combination medicaments comprising the HLA-B57 Fc open conformer and immune checkpoint inhibitors and/or checkpoint agonist agents. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of HLA-B57 open conformer as an immunomodulator, particularly in diseases where modulation of diverse immune cell components (e.g. cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, Tregs) is a therapeutic strategy, e.g. infectious diseases.

  • Patent number: 12343065
    Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a housing and a trigger assembly. The trigger assembly includes a trigger including a drive portion and a manipulation portion, a rocker, a linkage, and a slider. The trigger is pivotably coupled to the housing such that the drive and manipulation portions are moved in different directions in response to actuation of the trigger. The drive portion of the trigger is pivotably coupled to the rocker. The linkage is pivotably coupled to the rocker and the housing at opposing end portions thereof. The slider is pivotably coupled to the rocker and operably coupled to the deployable component. Actuation of the manipulation portion of the trigger moves the drive portion of the trigger distally to thereby urge the rocker distally, pivot the linkage about the second end portion thereof, and slide the slider distally to deploy the deployable component distally.

  • Publication number: 20250196240
    Abstract: A method for operating a machine tool with a gentle start-up, preferably a jigsaw wherein at least one physical characteristic of the machine tool, in particular a motor and/or battery current, is detected by a detection unit, in particular a control or regulating unit of the machine tool, in an idle operating state of the machine tool with a throttled movement. A threshold of the physical characteristic, in particular a scraping threshold, is ascertained by an analysis unit, in particular the control or regulating unit of the machine tool, on the basis of the detected physical characteristic, and in further operation of the machine tool, a drive unit of the machine tool is set to an operating state under load, with a movement speed which is increased relative to the idle operating state with a throttled movement, when it is detected that the ascertained threshold has been overshot or undershot.
