Pa tent reports sorption of physiologically active peptides or proteins which are otherwise hardly absorbed from the mucosa.

for placing thereon a microorganism sample subjected to fluorescent staining, and a light source portion for projecting excitation light of predetermined wavelength on the sample.

Alpha Interferon for Treating Prostate Cancer Morales et al. Schering Corporation US 5480640; January 2, 1996 A method for treating carcinoma of the prostate using recombinant human alpha interferon via intraprostatic or intralesional injection.

Method of Dissolving Venous Thromhi Using Drug Containing Activated Protein C Eibl et al. Immuno Ag fur Chemisch-Medizinische Produkte US 5478558; December 26, 1995 A method of dissolving venous thrombi using a thrombolytic, parenterally administrable drug containing activated protein C. The drug can be free of serum amyloid P, thrombin activity, infectious agents, and antibodies against protein C and activated protein C.

Fungi Methods of Testing in Yeast Cells for Agonists and Antagonists of Mammal G Protein-Coupled Receptors Caron et al. Duke University US 5482835; January 9, 1996 A transformed yeast cell containing a first heterologous DNA sequence which codes for a mammalian G protein-couple receptor and a second heterologous DNA sequence which codes for a mammalian G protein alpha subunit (mammalian G alpha). The first and second heterologous DNA sequences are capable of expression in the cell, but the cell is incapable of expressing an endogenous G protein alpha subunit (yeast G alpha). The cells are useful for screening compounds which affect the rate of dissociation of G alpha from G beta gamma in a cell.

Composition for Modulating Sterols in Yeast Cuellar et al. Amoco Corporation US 5480805; January 2, 1996 A structural gene encoding a polypeptide with delta 8-7 sterol isomerase activity. The structural gene is useful for modulating the accumulation of sterols in yeast.

Baker’s Yeast Having a Low Temperature Inactivation Property Gysler et al. Nestec SA US 5480798; January 2, 1996 Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are substantially inactive at refrigeration temperatures of 3°C to 9-10°C and recover their activity at temperatures of 13-14°C.

Apparatus for Treating Analytes Thomas Amersham International Ltd. US 5480803; January 2, 1996 An apparatus which includes an enclosed chamber in which a motor driven cylinder is mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis. The lower half of the cylinder is disposed in a trough. A blot can be attached, analyte side outward, to the surface of the cylinder, and the cylinder is then rotated to carry the blot through a succession of treatment liquids with which the trough is charged.

Protein Assay Using Microwave Energy Akins et al. Thomas Jefferson University US 5478748; December 26, 1995 A modification of the standard BCA protocol that allows sensitive and reliable protein determinations in a matter of seconds utilizing a microwave oven to irradiate the samples. Methods for determining protein concentrations in a sample are disclosed comprising the steps of combining the sample with a BCA assay reagent in a sample container. placing the sample container into a microwave oven, irradiating the sample and measuring an absorbance value at 562 nm for the sample.

Method for Transporting Substances into Living Cells and Tissues and Apparatus Therefor Allen et al. Cornell University US 5478744; December 26. 1995 Inert or biologically active particles propelled toward a cell at a speed whereby the particles penetrate the surface of the cells and become incorporated into the interior of the cells. The process can be used to mark cells or tissue or biochemically affect tissues or tissue in situ as well as single cells in vitro.

Three-Dimensional Stromal Cell and Tissue Culture System Landeen et al. Advanced Tissue Sciences, Inc. US 5478739; December 26, 1995 An improved three-dimensional cell culture system in which cells are grown on a three-dimensional matrix while cycling the cultures between metabolically favorable and unfavorable (but noncytotoxic) conditions. The invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that cycling the cultures in this manner optimizes the formation of extracellular matrix and produces an overall structure that more closely resembles naturally occurring tissue.

Alpha V Beta 3 Integrin as a Predictor of Endometriosis Applications Method of and Apparatus for Detecting Microorganisms Niwa et al. Kirin Beverage Corporation US 5480804; January 2, 1996 A microorganism-detecting apparatus comprising a fluorescence microscope section which is furnished with a motor-driven stage

Lessey University of Pennsylvania US 5478725; December 26, 1995 Methods of screening for endometriosis which involve obtaining a sample of endometrium selected from menstrual cycle days 20-24, identifying the endometrial sample as nulliparous, contacting the endometrium with a monoclonal antibody for beta 3 integrin, assaying for beta 3 integrin, and correlating the absence of beta 3 integrin with endometriosis.
