摘要:
An illuminated signage system having a printed surface and at least one electroluminescent element embedded within the printed surface and a substrate layer or coupled between the printed surface and the substrate layer, and a rigid backing substrate. Also, an illuminated signage system having a non-opaque material with an etched portion that diffuses light from a light source adjacent to the non-opaque material and a printed layer having indicia visible through the non-opaque material. Also, a method of forming an illuminated signage system, the method including providing a printed surface, coupling the printed surface to a substrate layer, and embedding an electroluminescent element through the printed surface and into at least the substrate layer.

摘要:
In accordance with the invention, a novel gene translocation, (4p15, 6q22), in human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that results in a fusion proteins combining part of Sodium-dependent Phosphate Transporter Isoform NaPi-3b protein (SLC34A2) with Proto- oncogene Tyrosine Protein Kinase ROS Precursor (ROS) kinase has now been identified. The SLC34A2-ROS fusion protein is anticipated to drive the proliferation and survival of a subgroup of NSCLC tumors. The invention therefore provides, in part, isolated polynucleotides and vectors encoding the disclosed mutant ROS kinase polypeptides, probes for detecting it, isolated mutant polypeptides, recombinant polypeptides, and reagents for detecting the fusion and truncated polypeptides. The disclosed identification of the new fusion protein enables new methods for determining the presence of these mutant ROS kinase polypeptides in a biological sample, methods for screening for compounds that inhibit the proteins, and methods for inhibiting the progression of a cancer characterized by the mutant polynucleotides or polypeptides, which are also provided by the invention.
