Patent number: 9950050Abstract: The invention provides a protein comprising hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) with a sugar attached to an e1 loop. The protein may comprise a first and a second copy of HBcAg in tandem, wherein one or both copies of HBcAg has a sugar attached to the e1 loop. The first copy may have a sugar attached to the e1 loop and the second copy may comprise a peptide epitope in the e1 loop. The protein may be used to induce an immune response against the sugar and hence act as a vaccine.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2015Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: IQUR LIMITEDInventors: Michael Anthony Whelan, Robert A.

Patent number: 9943099Abstract: An electrically powered juicer has a treatment module arranged to subject the expressed juice to a pasteurization or UHT process in order to prevent the rapid deterioration in quality of the expressed juice that otherwise occurs. The lifetime of the juice expressed by the juicer is considerably extended, allowing juice to be prepared in larger volumes than previously and thus negating the requirement for juicing on demand. The treatment module includes serially arranged heating means and cooling means, operative while the expressed juice is traversing a meandering pathway, and a thermostatically controlled element sited and configured to ensure that the heating operation is automatically repeated in the event that juice exiting the heating operation has not reached a predetermined temperature required for the pasteurization or UHT process.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2013Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: KENWOOD LIMITEDInventor: Robert Fields

Publication number: 20180071384Abstract: The invention provides a protein comprising hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) with a sequence of the formula XpZqXr in an e1 loop, wherein X is a negatively charged amino acid residue, Z is a positively charged amino acid residue, and p, q N and r are each independently an integer from 1 to 12, and wherein a sugar is attached to a Z residue. The protein may comprise a first and a second copy of HBcAg in tandem, wherein one or both copies of HBcAg has a sugar attached to the e1 loop. The first copy may have a sugar attached to the e1 loop and the second copy may comprise a peptide epitope in the e1 loop. The protein may be used to induce an immune response against the sugar and hence act as a vaccine.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2016Publication date: March 15, 2018Inventors: Michael Anthony Whelan, Robert A.
