| 20120135391 | Method of Blood Pooling and Storage - The disclosure provides methods of making a cell-containing product having a uniform amount of cells therein. The method comprises pooling red blood cells from a plurality of blood units, and inactivating any pathogen contained therein. A storage solution added to the cellular component results in a cell-containing product that is essentially pathogen and white blood cell free and has an extended shelf life of about 42 to about 100 days. The cell-containing product is further divided into units which comprise a uniform dose of RBCs per unit. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20120111807 | COMPONENT PREPARATION SYSTEM - Disclosed herein are centrifuge-free self-contained systems for aseptically separating components of whole blood comprising at least one cassette for receiving whole blood; at least one red blood cell exclusion filter; at least one leukocyte reduction filters; at least one platelet exclusion filter; a plurality of product cassettes; and optionally a plurality of pumps and valves; and wherein the filters, pumps, valves, and cassettes are fluidly connected by tubing and the system does not include a centrifuge. Also disclosed are methods for obtaining blood components using the system. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120109677 | BLOOD BANK MANAGEMENT AND RAPID BLOOD TYPE DETERMINATION SYSTEM - Disclosed herein is a method for increasing the efficiency and reducing cost of the blood donation, processing and storage by pre-screening candidate donors for blood type and only collecting blood from donors having a needed blood type. Also disclosed are methods and systems for rapid determination of blood type of a blood donor prior to the initiation of the blood donation process. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120100979 | CENTRIFUGE BUCKET RESTRAINING APPARATUS AND METHODS OF USE OF SAME - Described herein are retention systems comprising an elastic member coupled to at least one securing member, a centrifuge bucket, and at least one item in the centrifuge bucket. The elastic member is attachable to at least two points on said centrifuge bucket thereby retaining the at least one item within the centrifuge bucket. Methods of using these systems are also described. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20120100150 | Influenza Hemagglutinin-Specific Monoclonal Antibodies for Preventing and Treating Influenza Virus Infection - Disclosed herein are neutralizing antibodies with cross-neutralizing activity and cross-protective effects against divergent stains of influenza virus, which are specific for an epitope having at least 90% homology to amino acids +72-115 of the HA1 domain of H5N1 influenza virus hemagglutinin. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20110091911 | ANTIBODIES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING RELATIVE HEMOLYTIC INDEX - Disclosed herein are antibodies, systems and methods for assessing the risk of hemolysis following a blood transfusion with crossmatch incompatible blood. The disclosure provides a method for determining the relative hemolytic index and therefore the risk of post-transfusion hemolysis for said patient. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20100266634 | ADJUVANCY AND IMMUNE POTENTIATING PROPERTIES OF NATURAL PRODUCTS OF ONCHOCERCA VOLVULUS - The present invention relates to a method for potentiating a specific immune response to an antigen in a mammal in need thereof. The method comprises administering to the mammal an effective amount of Ov-ASP, or at least one subunit of Ov-ASP, and an antigenic moiety. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100130430 | STABILIZED THERAPEUTIC SMALL HELICAL ANTIVIRAL PEPTIDES - Provided are constrained peptides that inhibit HIV assembly. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the above peptides are also provided. Additionally provided are methods of inhibiting replication of a capsid-containing virus in a cell. Also provided are methods of treating a mammal infected with a capsid-containing virus. Further provided are methods of treating a mammal at risk for infection with a capsid-containing virus. Methods of making the above peptides are additionally provided, as are uses of the above peptides and pharmaceutical compositions. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20090104612 | DETECTION OF BLOOD GROUP GENES - Disclosed herein are nucleic acid molecules which permit the accurate and direct determination of blood groups based on the presence of certain genes. A method of determining blood groups is also provided. | 04-23-2009 |
