  • Patent number: 7001600
    Abstract: The infusion of TIL586 along with interleukin-2 (IL-2) into the autologous patient with metastatic melanoma resulted in the objective regression of tumor. A gene encoding a tumor antigen recognized by TIL586 was previously isolated and shown to encode gp75 or TRP-1. The present invention relates to the identification of a second tumor antigen recognized by a HLA-A31 restricted CTL clone derived from the TIL586 cell line. This antigen derived from the TRP-2 protein tumor antigen and peptides thereof are capable of sensitizing target cells for lysis by a CTL clone at 1 nM peptide concentration. Modified peptides were also recognized by the CTL clone.

  • Publication number: 20050228765
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to synchronize the heterogeneous databases of this invention, first extracts the files to be synchronized from a first database (in the case of the manufacturing facility, the online specification database). These files have a first format such as character or numeric data that is then converted to a second format such as the Engineering Data Workflow (EDW) or Lotus Notes to create the document object files of the second database. The converted files are then automatically attached to the second database for review by a document manager. The document manager is either a person responsible for reviewing changes to the second database or may be an automated reviewing mechanism. If the database modification is approved, the document manager generates a permission semaphore to gain access and use of the first database.

  • Patent number: 6745142
    Abstract: A recipe comparison system having recipe management ability in both offline accessing and online operating modes. The recipe comparison system includes an equipment server, an analysis module, and a recipe management module. The equipment server receives an upload signal, and then sends a recipe to the analysis module based on the upload signal. Then, the analysis module parses the recipe into internal-format-data according to a parsing rule, and outputs the internal-format-data to the recipe management module. If the recipe comparison system is in offline accessing mode, the recipe management module checks whether the internal-format-data obeys a specification definition. If the recipe comparison system is in the online operating mode, the recipe management module compares the internal-format-data with a standard recipe stored in a storage module.
