摘要:
Antibodies to the CNA protein and to other regions from the collagen binding domain, including domain CNA19, are provided, and antibodies produced in this manner have been shown to be cross reactive to both Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria and which can thus be used in the prevention and treatment of infections caused by both of these types of bacteria. In addition, medical instruments can be treated using the antibodies of the invention in order to reduce or eliminate the possibility of their becoming infected or further spreading the infection. In particular, the proteins are advantageous because they are cross-reactive and may thus be administered to patients so as to reduce or prevent severe infection by staphylococcal bacteria of more than one species. Antibodies generated in this manner have also been shown to exhibit displacement activity and can thus be utilized advantageously in methods wherein these antibodies will be administered to patients having pre-existing staphylococcal infections because of the ability to displace bacterial proteins from binding sites on the extracellular matrix. Finally, a method of identifying, isolating and utilizing displacing antibodies is also provided.

Isolated peptide sequences and proteins containing these sequences are provided which are useful in the prevention and treatment of infection caused by Gram-positive bacteria. The peptide sequences have been shown to be highly conserved motifs in the surface proteins of Gram-positive bacteria, and these consensus sequences include amino acid sequences such as LPXTG (SEQ ID NO:13), ALKTGKIDIIISGMTSTPERKK (SEQ ID NO:14), VEGAWEKPVAEAYLKQN (SEQ ID NO:15), and EYAGVDIDLAKKIAK (SEQ ID NO:16). By virtue of the highly conserved regions, the sequences and the proteins including these sequences can be utilized to generate antibodies which can recognize these highly conserved motifs and the proteins containing them and thus be useful in the treatment or prevention of a wide range of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria.

摘要:
A damascene structure with reduced capacitance dielectric stacking comprise a passivation, a first dielectric, an etch stop, a second dielectric and a cap layer over a first conductive layer formed on a semiconductor. The passivation, the etch stop, and the cap layers comprise low dielectric constant materials carbon nitride, boron nitride, or boron carbon nitride. The stack is patterned to form a via opening to the first conductive layer. A trench opening is formed stopping on the etch stop layer. A barrier layer of TaN, WN, TaSiN or Ta and a second conductive material is applied to the openings. Passivation, etch stop, or cap layers can be formed with carbon nitride by magnetron sputtering from a graphite target in a nitrogen atmosphere; boron carbon nitride by magnetron sputtering from a graphite target in a nitrogen and B2H6 atmosphere; or boron nitride by PECVD using B2H6, ammonia, and nitrogen.
