20100276853Anti-Vibration Device, Anti-Vibration System Comprising Such a Device and Method of Manufacture - An anti-vibration device is disclosed comprising an anti-vibration support comprising first and second rigid frames connected together by an elastomeric body and a limiting cap which is snap fitted onto the second frame and designed to be fastened onto a receiving member while clamping the second frame.11-04-2010
20100320359Movement Limiting Anti-Vibration Mount - Anti-vibration mount comprising first and second mounting members connected to each other by an elastomer body. The first mounting member comprises a head integral with the elastomer body and a connector rigidly fixed to the head by a connection permitting a degree of relative positioning tolerance between the head and the connector in a first direction. The head comprises a deformable stop that is interposed between the second mounting member and the connector, the deformable stop being capable of not obstructing the relative positioning tolerance between the head and the connector, and of abutting against the second mounting member by pressing against the connector in the first direction.12-23-2010

20100167315METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING THE RESPONSE TO A TREATMENT WITH A MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY - The invention relates to steps for the development or the quality control of recombinant monoclonal antibodies (MoAbr) used as medicaments, and also to the selection of the patients liable to effectively respond to a treatment with a given monoclonal antibody. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for evaluating, in vitro, the effector functions of NK cells in response to a test monoclonal antibody, comprising at least the following steps: (i) the NK cells are brought into contact with said monoclonal antibody, which is fixed on a support, in the presence of an agent for inhibiting the secretion of cytokines by said cells; (ii) by way of positive control for the activation of the NK cells, the same experiment is carried out using, in place of the test monoclonal antibody, a monoclonal antibody directed against the Fc RIIIa receptor; (iii) after an incubation period of at least 1 hour, the response of the NK cells is observed by measuring the presence of the CD107 marker at the cell surface, and also the presence of intracellular IFN and/or of intracellular TNF.07-01-2010
20110123996METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS TO EVALUATE ANTIBODY TREATMENT RESPONSE - The present invention relates to methods and compositions to evaluate or assess the response of a subject to particular therapeutic treatment. More particularly, the invention provides methods to determine the response of subjects, or to adapt the treatment protocol of subjects treated with therapeutic antibodies. The invention is based on a determination of the FCGR3A genotype of a subject. The invention can be used for patients with malignancies, particularly lymphoma, and is suited to select best responders and/or adjust treatment condition or protocol for low responders.05-26-2011
