  • METHOD OF OPERATING A SURGICAL INSTRUMENT
    Publication number: 20240108332
    Abstract: A method of operating an articulatable surgical instrument. The method includes providing a rotary drive motion to a rotary drive member of a surgical end effector and converting the rotary drive motion to an upper axial motion and a lower axial motion at locations that are distal to the articulation joint. The method further includes applying the upper axial motion to an upper portion of a firing member and applying the lower axial motion to a lower portion of the firing member such that the upper axial motion and lower axial motion drives the firing member distally through the surgical end effector from a starting position to an ending position.

  • Methods for the identification of compounds capable of inhibiting HIV-1 viral replication employing murine cell lines expressing human topoisomerase I
    Patent number: 6395541
    Abstract: The present invention relates to therapeutic protocols and pharmaceutical compositions designed to target topo I for the treatment of HIV infection. The invention relates to therapeutic modalities and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of HIV-infection using human topo I and its interaction with HIV gag and RT as a target for intervention. The invention further relates to the use of human topo I to enhance the activity of RT. The present invention also relates to the expression of human topo I in transgenic animals, in particular mice, as a system to study the HIV life cycle and to screen agents for their ability to interfere with the HIV life cycle.
