Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090202039Methods for Sterilizing Biological Materials Containing Non-Aqueous Solvents - Methods are disclosed for sterilizing biological materials to reduce the level of one or more active biological contaminants or pathogens therein, such as viruses, bacteria (including inter- and intracellular bacteria, such as mycoplasmas, ureaplasmas, nanobacteria, 08-13-2009
20090214382Methods of sterilizing biological mixtures using alpha-keto acids - Methods are disclosed for sterilizing biological materials to reduce the level of one or more biological contaminants or pathogens therein, such as viruses, bacterial (including inter- and intracellular bacteria, such as mycoplasmas, ureaplasmas, nanobacteria, chlamydia, rickettsias), yeasts, molds, fungi, single or multicellular parasites, and/or prions or similar agents responsible. These methods involve the use of alpha-keto acids in methods of sterilizing biological materials with irradiation.08-27-2009

20090311214COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSE PATHWAY - Autoimmune diseases are the consequence of complex interactions between a mosaic of host genetic factors and etiologic elements. Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease prevalent in 1% of the general population, but is unique on two accounts; a) the majority (90%) of individuals with CD have the HLA class II DQ2 allele, the others HLA-DQ8 and b) the etiologic agent is gluten proteins from wheat and related prolamins in barley and rye. The disease process is generally considered to be mediated by T cells that recognize HLA-DQ2 specific peptide sequences in gluten. There is currently no therapeutic treatment for CD. To this end, the inventors have identified a novel therapeutic target for CD and innate immune pathways in other inflammatory conditions.12-17-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090198219Catheter Assembly - Novel catheter constructions comprising thin covering or wrapping materials such as polymer films. A catheter provided with a guidewire catheter lumen having a thin covering that is easily punctured by a guidewire at virtually any desired point along the catheter length. The thin covering may be integral with the catheter shaft, or may be a separate component that covers only the portion of the catheter shaft immediately adjacent the outer portion of the guidewire lumen, or may be a thin tubular construct that surrounds the entire catheter shaft. Moreover, polymer film can be used in combination with one or more elements to produce novel catheter constructions.08-06-2009
20100049123Catheter balloons with integrated non-distensible seals - A catheter balloon with integral non-distending regions having a plurality of layers which wind around the balloon material and overlap to form an angle of between 45 and 90 degrees relative to each other upon inflation, and methods of making the non-distending regions are provided.02-25-2010
