Retrovirus-Like Particles And Retroviral Vaccines

View page
US Patent:
20070099276, May 3, 2007
Filed:
Apr 27, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/413614
Inventors:
David Ott - Frederick MD, US
Dexter Poon - Rockville MD, US
Robert Gorelick - Rockville MD, US
International Classification:
C12P 19/34
C12N 5/06
C12N 5/16
US Classification:
435091100, 435345000
Abstract:
The invention relates to retrovirus-like particles having an altered nucleocapsid domain that inhibits packaging of genomic RNA into the retrovirus-like particle, and a protease having reduced enzymatic activity. The invention also provides nucleic acid constructs that encode the retrovirus-like particles. Also provided are immunological compositions, vaccines, and DNA vaccines containing the retrovirus-like particles and nucleic acid constructs that can be used to immunize a mammal against infection by a retrovirus. Methods to produce retrovirus-like particles are also provided.

Incubation Container System

US Patent:
20100097695, Apr 22, 2010
Filed:
Oct 16, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/253144
Inventors:
Len Higashi - Pearl City HI, US
Fernd Engelen - Bothell WA, US
Peter Bristol - Shoreline WA, US
Cathy Owen - Honolulu HI, US
Dan Blase - Everett WA, US
Dexter Poon - Honolulu HI, US
Assignee:
NANOPOINT, INC. - Honolulu HI
International Classification:
G02B 21/26
US Classification:
359391
Abstract:
A method and system for providing a container for investigating at least one specimen are described. The method and system include providing a dish. The dish includes a floor, a plurality of sidewalls, and at least one pedestal. The floor has a perimeter. The plurality of sidewalls coupled with the floor proximate to the perimeter. The at least one pedestal resides on a portion of the floor and is pedestal configured to support at least one microscope slide distal from the floor. The at least one microscope slide bears the specimen(s) for investigation.

Active Microfluidic System For In Vitro Culture

View page
US Patent:
20110229961, Sep 22, 2011
Filed:
Nov 4, 2009
Appl. No.:
13/126389
Inventors:
Len Higashi - Pearl City HI, US
Dexter Poon - Honolulu HI, US
Daniel Ling - Honolulu HI, US
Cathy Owen - Honolulu HI, US
Assignee:
Nanopoint, Inc. - Honolulu HI
International Classification:
C12M 3/00
US Classification:
4352871, 4352891
Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods for microfluidic cell support, including a microfluidic cell support system and methods for its use. The microfluidic cell support system can include a base assembly, a manifold assembly, and a microfluidic celltray including a microcirculatory path in fluid communication with the manifold assembly. The microfluidic celltray can be microfluidically closed and mechanically open. In some aspects the microfluidic celltray contains one or more cell wells containing fluid for supporting living cell(s). In some aspects, the microcirculatory path provides active fluid flow between a microfluidic inflow channel and a microfluidic outflow channel.

Methods Of Making Chitosan/Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Compositions And Compositions Made Therefrom

View page
US Patent:
20210085823, Mar 25, 2021
Filed:
Dec 19, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/384309
Inventors:
- Honolulu HI, US
Joanne S.M. EBESU - Waipahu HI, US
Dexter POON - Honolulu HI, US
International Classification:
A61L 26/00
Abstract:
A novel hydrogel wound dressing therapy and methods for making the same. The novel methods comprise forming two biopolymers, chitosan and hyaluronic acid, together into a wound dressing with inherent ability to enhance wound closure. The novel composition of the subject invention comprises cross-linked chitosan/hyaluronic acid hydrogels manufactured according to the methods disclosed having a specific cross-link density that results in a swelling ratio of 20 to 100. Hydrogels manufactured in accordance with the method of the invention dramatically increase healing rates and greatly improves outcomes of wound injuries.
