Abstract: Bacterial live vector vaccines represent a vaccine development strategy that offers exceptional flexibility. In the present invention, genes encoding protective antigens of unrelated bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungal pathogens are expressed in an attenuated bacterial vaccine strain that delivers these foreign antigens to the immune system, thereby eliciting relevant immune responses. Rather than expressing these antigens using only low copy expression plasmids, expression of foreign proteins is accomplished using both low copy expression plasmids in conjunction with chromosomal integrations within the same live vector. This strategy compensates for the inherent disadvantage of loss of gene dosage (versus exclusive plasmid-based expression) by integrating antigen expression cassettes into multiple chromosomal sites already inactivated in an attenuated vector.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) determines a first transmit power parameter for a primary carrier and a secondary carrier of a multi-carrier uplink, based on a first data power allocated for a first data type to be transmitted on the multi-carrier uplink. The UE determines a first maximum enhanced uplink transport format combination indicator (E-TFCI) for the primary carrier and the secondary carrier based on the first transmit power parameter. If the primary carrier or the secondary carrier has data of a second data type for transmission, the UE determines a second data power allocated for the first data type utilizing the first maximum E-TFCI as a reference E-TFCI. If a difference in value between the first data power and the second data power is less than a threshold value, the UE utilizes the first transmit power parameter for transmitting data on the primary carrier and the secondary carrier.
