Appl. No.:

09/156323

Inventors:

KRISTIN WIEDERHOLT - NATICK MA, US
Tod Woolf - Sudbury MA, US
Margaret Taylor - Hopkinton MA, US

Assignee:

LAHIVE & COCKFIELD, LLP

International Classification:

A61K048/00
C07H021/02

US Classification:

514/044000, 536/023100

Abstract:

The present invention describes novel methods for the stabilization of mRNA. These alterations increase stability of mRNA and enable its use in sense RNA therapy to transiantly express proteins in a cell. Accordingly, the present invention is directed to methods for making such modifications, compositions comprising such modifications, and the use of such compositions in treating disease states.

A61M 27/00

US Classification:

604 8, 128898, 606108

Abstract:

A method of implanting a transcorneal shunt into a cornea, the shunt having a head and a foot, each having a hole therein, the method including the operations of engaging an insertion tool with a foot hole of the shunt; making an entry incision in the cornea; inserting the shunt, while still engaged with the insertion tool, through the entry incision; making an implant incision in the cornea; inserting the head of the shunt through the implant incision to position and seat the shunt; and releasing the shunt from the insertion tool.

Filed:

Nov 16, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/941150

Inventors:

Margaret Taylor - Groton MA, US

Assignee:

Becton, Dickinson and Company - Franklin Lakes NJ

International Classification:

A61M 1/00
A61F 9/01

US Classification:

604 8, 606166

Abstract:

A method for implanting a transcorneal implant having a cap, a foot, and a body connecting the cap and the foot, the body having a lesser circumference than either the cap or the foot, the method including the operations: creating a first corneal incision to create a tunnel, such that the a far end of the first incision enters the anterior chamber; creating a second corneal incision opening a roof of the tunnel to an end point past the far end of the first incision and creating flaps; guiding the implant to the end point, so that the foot of the implant is under the flaps; rotating the implant until the foot is entirely within the anterior chamber; and rotating the implant back to a neutral position, such that a portion of the foot is beneath a floor of the tunnel.
