Abstract: An attenuated enterohemorrhagic E. coli-based vaccine vector is disclosed. Enterotoxigenic E. coli colonization factor antigen 1 and the B subunit of E. coli heat labile toxin have been expressed in the attenuated enterohemorrhagic E. coli vector strain. Immunized animals are further protected against lethal and non lethal challenges with the enterotoxigenic E. coli strain. Immunization of mice with the vaccine construct induces mucosal antibody against both antigens, establishing the attenuated E. coli vector strain as a generally useful vector for presenting one or more antigens to a subject in a vaccine.

Abstract: A photonically controlled microwave device having a photosensitive substrate having an interior region comprising a high radio frequency (“RF”) field for a resonant RF mode. An RF resonator is patterned on a surface of the substrate, the pattern includes an aperture in the resonator positioned to direct light received from a light source to the interior region. The light source may have a wavelength that enables illumination of the interior region to generate free carriers or other photo-induced changes in RF permittivity. An optical boundary may be provided that recirculates the unabsorbed optical power inside the high RF field region until it is fully absorbed.

Abstract: A variety of polymers and copolymers suitable for use as biologically compatible constructs and, as a non-limiting specific example, in the formation of degradable tissue scaffolds as well methods for synthesizing these polymers and copolymers are described. The polymers and copolymers have degradation rates that are substantially faster than those of previously described polymers suitable for the same uses. Copolymers having a synthesis route which enables one to fine tune the degradation rate by selecting the specific stoichiometry of the monomers in the resulting copolymer are also described. The disclosure also provides a novel synthesis route for maleoyl chloride which yields monomers suitable for use in the copolymer synthesis methods described herein.
