Patent number: 9676825Abstract: The invention relates to chimeric vaccine antigens against hepatitis C virus (HCV) comprising selected regions of different antigens of said virus, which are placed in a pre-determined order inside the polypeptide. In addition, said chimeric antigens can include artificially formed specific epitopes for auxiliary T helper lymphocytes. The chimeric antigens and the resulting vaccine compositions are suitable for use in medicine and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as being suitable for prophylactic and/or therapeutic use against HCV. The vaccine compositions of the invention generate a powerful, broad-spectrum immune response against different antigens of the virus, with a minimum number of components.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2013Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: CENTRO DE INGENIERIA GENETICA Y BIOTECHNOLOGIAInventors: Santiago Dueñas Carrera, Daylen Aguilar Noriega, Yalena Amador Cañizares, Liz Alvarez-Lajonchere Ponce de León, Gillian Martínez Donato, Sonia Gonzalez Blanco

Publication number: 20070275012Abstract: The present invention is related with the field of therapeutic vaccines against pathogens causing chronic diseases. It comprises the use in therapy of formulations containing the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) as the main compound. The HBsAg is produced as a recombinant product in Picchia pastoris. The formulations of the present invention also comprise the combination of the Hepatitis B surface antigen and other coadministered antigens. The resulting formulations are able to generate potent lymphoprolipherative and cytotoxic responses apart from a remarkable response of specific antibodies, which make them very effective in the treatment of such diseases.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2004Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventors: Julio Aguilar Rubido, Enrique Iglesias Perez, Yadira Lobaina Mato, Daymir Garcia Gonzalez, Verena Muzio Gonzalez, Gerardo Guillen Nieto, Nelson Acosta Rivero, Raimundo Ubieta Gomez, Julio Alvarez Obregon, Santiago Duenas Carrera, Carlos Duarte Cano, Peter Vanlandshoot, Luis Herrera Martinez

Patent number: 6616205Abstract: A central console for a motor vehicle interior has a lower stowage compartment which can be closed by a lid module and is bounded laterally by side walls. The lid module can be pivoted about a pivot axis which is arranged at its rear end and runs in the transverse direction of the vehicle. An upper stowage compartment is arranged on the lower side of the lid module for accommodating a telephone device or other items and is covered by a first lid forming part of an armrest. A further upper stowage space is covered by a second lid which is designed as a further part of the armrest and can be pivoted about a pivot axis. The further upper stowage space is designed as part of the upper stowage compartment and together with the second lid is assigned to the lid module in such a manner that they can be pivoted together with the lid module.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2001Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Ulrich Bruhnke, Santiago Dueñas, Christoph Jonischkeit, Michael Kelz, Van-Hung Nguyen, Tilo Volkmann

Patent number: 6032027Abstract: A holding arrangement for the operating element of a telephone or a mobile telephone, such as a telephone receiver with a dialing keyboard or a handset, for an installation in a container existing in a vehicle is disclosed. A receiving device for releasably fixing the operating element and a holding body carrying the receiving device are provided. The holding body can be swivelled about a swivelling axis aligned transversely to its longitudinal course from a removed position with the operating element stored in the container into an offered position with the operating element situated to be easily gripped, and vice versa. For the purpose of a universal installation into all vehicle types in a space-saving manner, with a still remaining free useful space in the container, a fork-shaped carrier is provided for the swivel bearing of the holding body, which fork-shaped carrier accommodates the swivelling shaft in two carrying arms which project at a right angle from a carrying plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1997Date of Patent: February 29, 2000Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Santiago Duenas Loza, Tilo Volkmann

Patent number: 5882037Abstract: A plate- or shell-like plastic trim panel is provided with a convex structure configured such that, in the event of a horizontal compressive load running essentially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the trim panel undergoes a controlled elastic and/or plastic deformation in the direction of the adjoining free space. This arrangement avoids risking injury to legs of a vehicle occupant resulting from uncontrolled bending or breaking of flat trim panels without such convex structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1997Date of Patent: March 16, 1999Assignee: Mercedes-Benz AGInventors: George Bauer, Alban Bossenmaier, Santiago Duenas Loza, Friedrich Reiter

Patent number: 5564733Abstract: Motor vehicle instrument panel including a stiffening panel defining an instrument panel shape. The stiffening panel includes an airbag cover section and a hinge connection section which connects the airbag cover section to adjacent stiffening panel sections. A reinforcement mat is connected to a side of the stiffening panel which faces away from a vehicle passenger space bounded by the instrument panel when in an in-use position in a vehicle. The reinforcement mat includes a plurality of openings, and the reinforcement mat and stiffening panel are connected together by pressing of material of the stiffening panel into the openings of the reinforcement mat thereby providing an intimate connection of the reinforcement mat and stiffening panel without requiring additional fastening material.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 1995Date of Patent: October 15, 1996Assignee: Mercedes-Benz AGInventors: Santiago Duenas, Stephan Schreiner, Harald Koppenstein, Helmut Wagner, Jorg Henkel
