Abstract:
The subject of this invention is an anti-UBE4A/Ufd2b polyclonal antibody. Moreover, this invention refers to the use of said antibody as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of alterations in the 11q23 region.
Abstract:
The invention refers to a method of antigenic peptide identification and to the relative use for the preparation of a specific vaccine against HIV-1 for the populations of sub-Saharan Africa.
Abstract:
The invention relates to cytokines radiolabelled with radioactive isotopes suitable for the in vivo diagnostics able to interact with the Th1 lymphocytes to be advantageously used in the imaging of the chronic lymphocyte-mediated inflammations.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of a crystal material with formula LIMPO4, where "M" is a transition metal, the method providing the steps of grinding and mixing at the solid state an organic phosphonate of a transition metal with a lithium salt and causing them to react together by pyrolysis at the solid state and high temperature by one or more heating cycles. It is thus obtained a micrometric size crystal material already containing carbon without the latter should be added thereafter. According to the invention, carbon forms inside the material during its pyrolysis directly to the surface of the lithium iron phosphate particles, interacting with the latter and ensuring an optimum electron drain.
Abstract:
Polypeptides and antibodies able to recognize microbial lipases and to enhance the hydrolyitic activity of these enzymes are disclosed. The nucleotide and aminoacid sequences of a preferred embodiment of these antibodies are also provided as seq IDN 1 - 4 in the sequence listing. In the present application the industrial uses of these antibodies are also disclosed.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for dynamically electing the controller or Master among an assembly of computers or stations in condition of reciprocal electromagnetic visibility, or "cluster", said cluster belonging to a radio communication wireless local area network or WLAN, said cluster comprising no more than one station operating as Master at each time at least one station of the cluster is actively connected to the network,the other stations operating as dependant or Slave, such method comprising a procedure for electing the Master among all stations of the cluster actively connected to the network, characterised in that said election procedure designates as Master the station having the best connection quality, as a function of one or more rules based upon one or more quality figures depending on at least one physical layer measurement related to the quality of all radio channels existing between the actively connected stations of the cluster. The invention also relates to the instruments needed to perform the method and to the apparatuses performing the method.
Abstract:
An artificial larynx prosthesis (C) is object of the present invention, comprising: a first substantially ring-shaped element (A), taller in the back than in the front; a second pyramid-shaped element (B) placed, along its ridge, on the uppermost part of the first element, (A) so as to form what is substantially a single body. The prosthesis is a static crico-arytenoid unit that can be implanted in the forward region of the neck of a patient, who is subjected to total laryngectomy, between the patient's hypopharynx, trachea and esophagus.
