Methods of reducing pre-existing humoral immunity to a viral immunogenic therapeutic agent such as adenovirus, using immunoapheresis are disclosed. Antibodies specific for the viral immunogenic therapeutic agent are selectively removed from the blood of an individual prior to administration of the viral immunogenic therapeutic agent by reaction extracorporeally with an immunosorbent which specifically binds the antibody. After the antibody is selectively removed from the blood, the blood is reinfused into the patient and the viral immunogenic therapeutic agent is administered. The invention also provides kits and compositions for selective removal of anti-viral antibody.

US Classification:
424 932, 435455, 435456, 4353201
Abstract:
The invention provides methods of treating neoplasia using combinations of target cell-specific replication competent adenoviral vectors and chemotherapy, radiation therapy or combinations thereof. The adenoviral vectors are target cell-specific for the particular type of neoplasia for which treatment is necessary and the combination with the chemotherapy and/or radiation leads to synergistic treatment over existing adenoviral therapy or traditional chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Abstract:
A method for securing a communication between a peer node and an intermediary peer node in a peer-to-peer network comprises the peer node generating a secured communication request to the intermediary peer node. The intermediary peer node authenticates the peer node in response to the secured communication request. The intermediary peer node issues a signed certificate of authority upon successful authentication.

Abstract:
Metal ink compositions, methods of forming such compositions, and methods of forming conductive layers are disclosed. The ink composition includes a bulk metal, a transition metal source, and an organic solvent. The transition metal source may be a transition metal capable of forming a silicide, in an amount providing from 0. 01 to 50 at. % of the transition metal relative to the bulk metal. Conductive structures may be made using such ink compositions by forming a silicon-containing layer on a substrate, printing a metal ink composition on the silicon-containing layer, and curing the composition. The metal inks of the present invention have high conductivity and form low resistivity contacts with silicon, and reduce the number of inks and printing steps needed to fabricate integrated circuits.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for performing a partial update of a hierarchically structured document referencing one or more records stored in a database. An expression specifying one or more updates to be applied to the document is received. The document is searched to find update target position(s). Based on the received expression, a pending update list is built. When an update target position is found, a row of a document column in a base table is updated with the new version number for the document. New database records for insertion into the new document version are generated from the pending update list. Old database records to be replaced are identified. A database table for the document is updated to mark the old database records as obsolete and to add new database records to be referenced in the new version of the document.
The disclosure includes hydroxamic compounds of Formula I: (I) wherein P, Z, and m are defined herein. Also disclosed is a method for treating a neoplastic disease or an immune disease with these compounds.
