Abstract: Proteins useful in the diagnosis of proliferative disorders of the colon are present in nuclear matrix protein preparations and can be characterized by molecular weight, isoelectric point, and amino acid sequence. The proteins may be identified, for example, by 2D-gel electrophoresis or by specific binding partners, such as antibodies.

Abstract: A pressureless conveyor for objects, bottles or similar items, including an input conveyor having single-channel paddle chains, a slowdown conveyor having a guide ramp, and an output conveyor with multiple juxtaposed channels. This conveyor includes a distribution system attached to the slowdown conveyor guide ramp for, imparting a serpentine path to the bottles on the output conveyor. More particularly, this distribution system transforms the straight-line motion of the bottles on the slowdown conveyor into an alternating movement combined with the progression of the different paddle chains of the output conveyor. This results in the distribution of the bottles over the entire working surface of the output conveyor.
