20090068635INDIRECTLY LABELLED ASSAY CONJUGATES AND METHODS OF PREPARING AND USING SAME - Indirectly labelled assay conjugates prepared by a method that includes the step of submitting the binding member comprised by the conjugate to denaturing conditions prior to labelling the binding member. The indirectly labelled assay conjugates demonstrate an increased sensitivity when employed in diagnostic assays compared to assay conjugates prepared by methods that do not include a step of submitting the binding member to denaturing conditions prior to labelling. Processes for the preparation of the indirectly labelled assay conjugates, methods of detecting an analyte comprising the use of the indirectly labelled assay conjugate and kits comprising the indirectly labelled conjugates are also provided.03-12-2009
20090111123COMPOSITIONS FOR DETECTING ANTIBODIES TO BABESIA MICROTI AND METHODS OF USES THEREOF - The present invention relates to one or more peptides which may be used to test for the presence of antibodies to 04-30-2009
20090232797PLASMODIUM MALARIAE AND PLASMODIUM OVALE GENES AND USES THEREOF - The subject invention relates to nucleic acid sequences and amino acid sequences encoded thereby, derived from the Merozoite Surface Protein (MSP1) gene of the 09-17-2009
20100247576NUCLEOTIDE AND AMINO ACID SEQUENCES ENCODING AN EXPORTED PROTEIN 1 DERIVED FROM PLASMODIUM VIVAX AND USES THEREOF - The present invention is directed to novel polynucleotides and polypeptides directed to EXP1 of 09-30-2010
20100279432INDIRECTLY LABELLED ASSAY CONJUGATES AND METHODS OF PREPARING AND USING SAME - Indirectly labelled assay conjugates prepared by a method that includes the step of submitting the binding member comprised by the conjugate to denaturing conditions prior to labelling the binding member.

20110097797Modular Functional Peptides for the Intracellular Delivery of Nanoparticles - Described are peptides for delivery of a nanoparticle to the cytosol, the peptide comprising: (a) a nanoparticle association domain; (b) a proline-rich spacer domain; (c) an uptake domain; and (d) a vesicle escape domain comprising a non-hydrolyzable lipid moiety, wherein the spacer domain is between the nanoparticle association domain and the uptake and vesicle escape domains, and wherein the peptide, when attached to an extracellular nanoparticle, is effective to induce uptake of the nanoparticle by a cell and delivery of the nanoparticle to the cytosol of the cell. Also described are methods of delivery of a nanoparticle to the cytosol of a cell, the method comprising providing to a cell a nanoparticle attached to such a peptide. Exemplary nanoparticles include quantum dots.04-28-2011

20100168862Expandable Intervertebral Spacers and Methods of Use - An intervertebral spacer is inserted between vertebral members in a compact configuration and expanded post-insertion to contact the adjacent vertebral members. The intervertebral spacer comprises a first member and a second member movable with respect to the first member between retracted and extended positions.07-01-2010
20100198352Implant with Nested Members and Methods of Use - Vertebral implants that may be movable between collapsed and expanded orientations to space apart first and second vertebral members. The implants may include first and second contact surfaces to contact against the vertebral members. The implants may include nested struts. The implants may have a first height measured between the contact surfaces in the collapsed orientation with a first amount of overlap in the struts. The implants may have a second height in the expanded orientation with a lesser amount of overlap in the struts.08-05-2010

20080276830SINGLE LEVEL ENCLOSED RAILCAR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING - A method of manufacturing an enclosed railcar comprising the steps of 11-13-2008
20100119322TIE-DOWN ANCHOR FOR FREIGHT - A floor tie-down anchor for securing freight during transport is provided. A tie-down anchor is provided comprising an elongated L-shaped bracket including a first leg and a second leg forming an angle therebetween. At least one aperture having a first shape is defined through the first leg and configured to receive a connecting mechanism for securing freight. At least one aperture having a second shape different from the first shape is defined through said first leg. The first shape is an oval slot and the second shape is a circle, and the L-shaped bracket is operatively connected to a railcar having a floor such that the first leg is substantially coplanar with and parallel to the floor of the railcar.05-13-2010
20100180516TOP CHORD STIFFENER FOR ENCLOSED RAILCAR - A superstructure for a railcar comprising at least a first side assembly, a roof extending from the first side assembly and being comprised of at least a first top chord extending inwardly and upwardly from the first side assembly and a first top chord stiffener comprised of at least a first leg and a second leg. The first and second legs are disposed at a right angle to each other, and the first top chord stiffener is attached to the first top chord and the first side assembly.07-22-2010
