摘要:
Human scFvs are disclosed which interact with a conformational epitope along the pre-hairpin, N-helix coiled coil structure within the heptad repeat 1 (HR1) region of gp41 of HIV. These antibodies, as well as IgG conversions, are shown to neutralize diverse HIV isolates. Isolated nucleic acid molecules are also disclosed which encode relevant portions of these antibodies, as well as the purified forms of the expressed antibodies or relevant antibody fragments, such as VH and VL chains. The antibody compositions disclosed within this specification may provide for a therapeutic treatment against HIV infection by reducing viral load levels within an infected individual, thus prolonging the asymptomatic phase of HIV infection. These antibodies will also be useful in assays to identify HIV antiviral compounds as well as allowing for the identification of candidate HIV vaccines, such as HIV peptide vaccines.

摘要:
A method for charging for a service in a telecommunications/data network, in particular UMTS mobile radio network, transactions which relate to debits being transmitted to a debiting system on network elements which implement a debiting interface, by means of an adapted transmission protocol, a hot-billing protocol which supports a termination message of the debiting system being used as the transmission protocol, a network element which is involved in the debiting transaction transmitting a message to the debiting system both at the start and at the end of the service and the service being timed in the debiting system in parallel with the execution of the service and debiting being carried out in response to the measurement result.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method which allows for a fast and efficient establishment of a connection between members of a group, more specifically between a mobile radio user who triggers the establishment of the connection and additional mobile radio users of a group of mobile radio users via at least one mobile radio network. According to the inventive method, a first channel that can be used for transmitting signaling data is set up when establishing the connection. User data, such as language, which is to be transmitted between the mobile radio user triggering the establishment of the connection and other members of the group is also transmitted via said channel in addition to the signaling data until a second channel is also set up for the connection, whereupon user data is transmitted via the second channel.

A method and apparatus of playing a game provides a player with at least one option for playing at least one round of the game in accordance with at least one advantage and/or disadvantage. For example, a player may agree to play a current round of play and/or at least one future round of play in accordance with a revised rule.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for conducting a promotion and for distributing promotions to potential users provide a merchant or promotion organizer flexibility in the way they conduct the promotion as well as an ability to change one or more aspects of the promotion during the operation of the promotion. One or more outcomes are generated by a controller and provided to a user. In addition, one or more codes which allow the outcomes to be revealed or unlocked are generated by the controller and provided to an intermediary. In exchange for completing or satisfying a qualifying action or criteria, the user may receive a code from the intermediary. The user can then unlock an outcome to reveal a prize, benefit, symbol, value, etc., associated with the unlocked outcome. The user may provide a redemption request to either the controller or the intermediary based on the unlocked outcome to receive a benefit or prize associated with the unlocked outcome.
摘要:
Five-Helix protein, which comprises the three N-helices and at least two, but not three, of the three C-helices of the trimer-of-hairpin structure of HIV gp41, separated by linkers, such as amino acid residue linkers, is disclosed. Six-Helix protein, which includes the three N-helices and the three C-helices of the trimer-of-hairpin structure of HIV gp41, separated by linkers, is also disclosed.
