| 20100297730 | Recombinant parainfluenza virus expression systems and vaccines comprising heterologous antigens derived from metapneumovirus - The present invention relates to recombinant bovine parainfluenza virus (bPIV) cDNA or RNA which may be used to express heterologous gene products in appropriate host cell systems and/or to rescue negative strand RNA recombinant viruses that express, package, and/or present the heterologous gene product. In particular, the heterologous gene products include gene product of another species of PIV or from another negative strand RNA virus, including but not limited to, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, human | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100249716 | Single-Use Ampoule - A single-use, blow-molded container for medical or pharmaceutical media is presented. The container comprises a flexible storage portion connected to one end a dispensing portion and a cap connected to the other end of the dispensing portion, wherein the cap is separated from the dispensing portion to create an outlet opening so that the medical media can be expelled from the flexible storage portion. One improvement comprises at least one barrier member disposed on the dispensing portion, wherein the barrier member is sized and dimensioned to limit the insertion of the dispensing member into a patient's nostril. Another improvement comprises an orifice controlling the pattern and direction of the medical media as it exits the ampoule container and wherein the orifice is spaced apart from the outlet opening. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20080286850 | MDCK CELL LINES SUPPORTING VIRAL GROWTH TO HIGH TITERS AND BIOREACTOR PROCESS USING THE SAME - The present invention relates to novel MDCK cells which can be to grow viruses, e.g., influenza viruses, in cell culture to higher titer than previously possible. The MDCK cells can be adapted to serum-free culture medium. The present invention further relates to cell culture compositions comprising the MDCK cells and cultivation methods for growing the MDCK cells. The present invention further relates to methods for producing influenza viruses in cell culture using the MDCK cells of the invention. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080279892 | Recombinant RSV Virus Expression Systems And Vaccines - The present invention relates to genetically engineered recombinant respiratory syncytial viruses and viral vectors which contain deletions of various viral accessory gene(s) either singly or in combination. In accordance with the present invention, the recombinant respiratory syncytial viral vectors and viruses are engineered to contain complete deletions of the M2-2, NS1, NS2, or SH viral accessory genes or various combinations thereof. In addition, the present invention relates to the attenuation of respiratory syncytial virus by mutagenisis of the M2-1 gene. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080241244 | Preservation of bioactive materials by freeze dried foam - This invention provides methods and compositions to preserve bioactive materials in a dried foam matrix. Methods provide non-boiling foam generation and penetration of preservative agents at temperatures near the phase transition temperature of the membranes. | 10-02-2008 |
