| 20100300288 | GUARD LAYERS FOR RAPID CYCLE PRESSURE SWING ADSORPTION DEVICES - Guard layers are employed in the adsorbent beds of rapid cycle pressure swing adsorption (RCPSA) devices to protect the adsorbent therein from certain contaminants (e.g. water vapour). Conventional PSA devices typically pack the guard layer with as much guard material as is practical. In RCPSA devices however, the performance of the guard layer can be improved by using a reduced amount of guard material and increasing access to it. Such embodiments are characterized by guard layers with a channel fraction of greater than 50%. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20080286350 | Formulation of Multivalent Antibody Constructs and Use of Same for Cancer Therapy - The invention relates to the formation of multivalent antibody constructs for testing and therapeutic purposes. In one embodiment the constructs consist of antibodies or antibody fragments conjugated to liposomes. The constructs are employed in a cell-based in vitro assay for comparing the therapeutic activity of antibodies or antibody fragments in multivalent form to the same antibodies or fragments in bivalent, free form. The assay is useful for identifying antibodies having potential in vivo activity. Selected antibodies may then be tested in an animal model of a disease state, such as cancer or an autoimmune disorder. Co-delivery of antibodies and chemotherapeutics may also be investigated. In accordance with the invention, a significant enhancement in the activity of antibodies such as trastuzumab and rituximab was observed when these antibodies were presented in the multivalent liposomal form. Key cell survival signaling molecules were down-regulated upon treatment with the multivalent liposomal antibody construct. The invention demonstrates the potential of liposome technology to enhance the therapeutic effect of antibodies via a mechanism that modulates cell survival, likely through clustering of target/antibody complex. | 11-20-2008 |
