20110011958 | TRANSPORTATION DEVICE - A transportation device, physically transporting a material to a target, includes an input module, a transporting module and an output module. The input module provides a carrier fluid. The transporting module is coupled to the input module for receiving the carrier fluid in order to disperse/atomize the material. The output module has a throat portion, a first opening and a second opening. The throat portion is positioned between the first opening and the second opening, and the aperture of the first opening is larger than that of the second opening. The distance between the throat portion and the second opening is equal to or smaller than the distance between the throat portion and the first opening and is between three and ten times of the throat portion aperture (d). The second opening has an expending angle which is between half and three times of the throat portion aperture angle) (½d°-3d°. The material enters the input module through the first opening and reaches the target through the second opening. The input module further includes a guiding unit having a length longer than or equal to the distance between the throat portion and the second opening. One end of the guiding unit connects the transporting module, and the size of the end connected to the transporting module is three times larger than the size of the throat portion. The other end of the guiding unit has a guiding corner for connecting to the first opening, and the angle of the guiding corner is between three and fifteen times of the throat portion angle (3d°-15d°). | 01-20-2011 |
20110182976 | LIPOPLEX-PATCH BASED DNA VACCINE - This invention relates to a DNA vaccine preparation in a patch against virus infection comprising a DNA construct incorporated in a liposome, wherein the ratio of DNA to liposome is from 1:1 to 1:10; wherein the DNA vaccine preparation is preferably administrated after a pretreatment with alpha hydroxyl acids. | 07-28-2011 |
20120190007 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AND RECORDING A VIRAL INFECTION PROCESS AND THAT FOR SCREENING VACCINES - The present invention relates to a method and system for monitoring and recording a viral infection process and that for screening vaccines, which is characterized by providing a microcantilever detection device, which comprises a microcantilever comprising a contact area having an macromolecular material attached thereon; allowing host cell to be attached to the macromolecular material; allowing a sample containing a test virus or vaccine to be loaded into the contact area to make the test virus or vaccine to contact the host cells attached to the macromolecular material so as to produce a deflection of the microcantilever; and recording the deflection in a time course manner so as to obtain a deflection profile that can used as a basis for determining the viral infection process or the potential efficacy of the vaccines. | 07-26-2012 |
20120244186 | EPINECIDIN-1 AS A VACCINE ADJUVANT FOR ENHANCING IMMUNE RESPONSES - A method of enhancing a mammalian immune response to a virus is disclosed. The method comprises administering a composition comprising an effective amount of epinecidin (Epi)-1 and the virus to a mammal, wherein the virus has envelope protein and is infectious to the mammal. A vaccine kit and a method for preventing Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection are also disclosed. | 09-27-2012 |
20120276526 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AND RECORDING VIRAL INFECTION PROCESS AND SCREENING FOR AGENTS THAT INHIBIT VIRUS INFECTION - The present invention relates to a method for monitoring and recording a viral infection process, which is characterized by providing a microcantilever detection device, which comprises a microcantilever comprising a contact area having an macromolecular material attached thereon; loading host cells to the contact area to allow the host cells to be attached to the macromolecular material; loading virus to the contact area to make the virus to contact the host cells attached thereto whereby a deflection level of the microcantilever is produced; and recording the deflection level in a time course manner so as to obtain a deflection curve that can be used as a basis for monitoring and recording the viral infection process. The method of the invention can also be used for screen for an agent that inhibits virus infection. | 11-01-2012 |
20140178974 | TRANSPORTATION DEVICE - A transportation device, transporting a material to a target, includes an input module, a transmission module and an output module. The input module has a containing unit and at least one filter. The at least one filter is connected to the containing unit, and a carrier fluid and the material are stored in the containing unit. The transmission module is coupled to the at least one filter of the input module. The output module has a guiding unit, a throat portion, a first opening and a second opening. The throat portion is positioned between the first opening and the second opening. One end of the guiding unit is connected to the transmission module. The other end of the guiding unit has a guiding corner for connecting to the first opening. The material will enter the output module through the first opening and reaches the target through the second opening. | 06-26-2014 |
