  • Patent number: 10272149
    Abstract: Vaccine compositions useful for vaccination against a target influenza strain, and method and kits for using the same. The vaccines comprise a live attenuated influenza virus that is synthetically constructed based upon a backbone platform derived from a bat influenza strain, and heterologous surface proteins HA and NA derived from the target influenza strain. The live attenuated virus is non-reassortant with native, circulating influenza strains, and can be used to create vaccines for humans and other animals.

  • Publication number: 20160122684
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for aqueous enzymatic extraction of soybean oil, which is in the field of extraction processing technology for plant oil. The method comprises treating crushed and peeled soybeans with an extrusion puffing process and a hydrolysis process with an alkaline proteinase, followed by a liquid nitrogen freezing and a high voltage electrostatic thawing process, and finally obtaining soybean oil by centrifugation. The benefits of the present invention includes short extraction time and high extraction yield. It saves up to 93.1% of time in the freezing and thawing process alone. The total oil yield is up to 95.4%. Furthermore, the method of the invention produces high quality oil with a low peroxide value, a low p-anisidine value and a low TOTOX value.
