  • Methods for suppressing allergic reactions
    Patent number: 9868786
    Abstract: Provided are methods for suppressing IgE and IgG-mediated allergic reactions through monoclonal antibody applications. More specifically, methods are herein provided for safe induction of rapid desensitization. Specific embodiments are herein provided for suppressing allergic reactions in a subject, including specific methods of providing a monoclonal antibody selected from the group consisting of anti-Fc?RIa and anti-Fc?RIIb / RIII; administering the antibody to a subject at a dose that is lower than the level required to induce shock; and administering sequentially escalating doses of the monoclonal antibody so as to induce rapid desensitization to an allergen, thereby suppressing allergic reaction in the subject.
    Type: Grant

  • Battery side terminal assembly
    Patent number: 4317871
    Abstract: A battery side terminal assembly which includes a metal terminal insert keyed into the external portion of the battery side wall with a body portion which passes through an aperture in the side wall to the inner area of the battery container. The terminal insert is held in close contact with the battery side wall by a plastic ring which is force fit onto the body portion of the terminal insert. Subsequently a side terminal strap is resistance welded to the body portion of the insert to create a tightly sealed assembly. The plastic ring advantageously cooperates with the body portion of the insert and the strap to retain molten lead during the resistance welding operation.
