In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that a class of anti-dsDNA antibodies, e.g., mAb 3E10, binds membranes of fixed human renal tubular cells, penetrates live murine renal tubular cells in vivo, and localizes in the cell nucleus. mAb 3E10 binds both dsDNA and an extracellular matrix protein expressed in high endothelial venules (i.e., HP8/HEVIN). Previous studies showe...

A multilayer polyester film, and a method for making the same, is provided. The film consists of alternating layers of polyethylene terephthalate (14) and polyethylene naphthalate (12). Biaxial orientation and subsequent restrained heat setting of these materials results in thin films with tensile moduli in both stretch directions well in excess of the values obtained with monolithic films of eith...

Bei einer Sattelkupplung mit einem mehrteiligen Gleitsegmentbelag (11), der drehfest an einer Kupplungsplatte (10) angeordnet ist, wird der Benutzungskomfort verbessert und eine hohe Lebensdauer dadurch ermöglicht, dass der Gleitsegmentbelag (11) aus einem Reibmaterial besteht, wobei an der Gleitfläche (12) des Gleitsegmentbelags ein Reibwert im Bereich von 0,1 bis 0,2 eingestellt ist.; In a semi-...

The invention provides a spinal disc implant (10) comprising a first pair of opposed substantially parallel sides (16) spaced apart by a second pair of opposed sides (18) to define an interior space (14). A first one of the second pair of sides defines a substantially elliptical curve joining a first end of the first pair of sides. A second one of the second pair of opposed sides substantially lin...

A method of welding two tubular members (1, 2) in end to end relationship includes providing the end of each tubular member (1, 2) to be joined with a shaped portion (3, 4). The shaped portion (3, 4) has a surface (10) which is substantially perpendicular to the radius of the tubular member (1, 2) and a second surface (13) at an obtuse angle to the radius of the tubular member (1, 2). Hence, when ...

A combination pre-recorded disc holder (12) and display (10) in which the display (10) is removably held in the disc holder (12). The display (10) incorporates three-dimensional elements held between a pair of panels (22, 30) that are opened and closed upon opening and closing the cover (16) of the holder (12). In the open position, with the display (10) held in the cover (16), a pre-recorded disc...
