Morrgra eD James; Byrn Steven; Crane Frederick L; Morrgra Dorothy M West Lafayette, IN, UNITED STATES Assigned to Purdue Research Foundation NADH oxidase is shown to be a target for a variety of uses in diagnosis and therapy. Particularly, the NADH oxidase associated with neoplastic cells is immunologically and biologically different from NADH oxidase associated with normal cells. Thus, the presence of tumor cells in patients can be monitored by monitoring the NADH oxidase of serum. In addition, use of the NADH oxidase associated with tumor cells provides opportunities for assays for screening drugs which are specific for neoplastic cells and can serve as anticancer drugs or growth inhibitors.

Zomer Elieze Newton, MA, UNITED STATES Assigned to Charm Sciences Inc A test kit and method particularly for the quantitative determination of total cofiform bacteria and E. coli particularly in large volume test samples, such as water, wherein the media includes an agent which changes color and a gelling agent which reacts or provides in situ with the test sample a semi-solid broth or media for incubation, thereby restricting the mobility of the growth bacteria and permitting a quantitative count of the separate, colored bacteria colonies.

5605813 C U L T U R E SLIDE A S S E M B L Y 5605811 METHODS AND C O M P O S I T I O N S FOR MONITORING CELLULAR P R O C E S S I N G OF BETA-AMYLOID PRECURSOR PROTEIN Seubert Peter A; Schenk Dale; Fritz Lawrence C South San Francisco, CA, UNITED STATES Assigned to Athena Neurosciences lnc; Eft Lilly and Company The present invention provides methods for identifying beta amyloid production inhibitors, wherein cells are cultured under conditions which result in secretion of a soluble fragment of beta amyloid precursor protein. The amino acid sequence of the fragment extends from the amino terminus of beta APP to the amino terminus of the beta amyloid peptide. The cultured cells are exposed to test compounds which cause a change in the secreted amount of the soluble fragment of beta APP which is determined.

Stevens Timothy A; Tyndorf Tadeusz A Madison, NJ, UNITED STATES Assigned to Becton Dickinson and Company The present invention is a culture slide assembly having a base member, a cooperable receptacle chamber removably attached to the base and means for separating the chamber from the base. Preferably, the assembly may be used for carrying out biological reactions or growth therein, such as growing tissue or cell cultures.
