    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: The present subject matter provides apparatus and methods for controlling lithium deposition during manufacture of implantable medical device batteries. A method includes processing materials to form the battery and performing a discharge conditioning process step. The discharge conditioning process step includes using a reduced discharge load and applying a discharge load intermittently to decrease formation of lithium deposits on negatively charged surfaces within the battery.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are related to biosorbable batteries, amongst other things. In an embodiment, the invention includes a biosorbable battery assembly including an anode, a cathode, and a biosorbable separation element. The anode can include an anode material, wherein electrochemical oxidation of the anode material results in the formation of reaction products that are substantially non-toxic. The cathode can include a cathode material, wherein electrochemical reduction of the cathode material results in the formation of reaction products that are substantially non-toxic, the cathode material having a larger standard reduction potential than the material of the anode. The biosorbable separation element can be disposed between the anode and the cathode and can be configured to provide electrical insulation between the anode and the cathode. In an embodiment, the invention includes a medical device system including an implanted medical device and a biosorbable battery in electrical communication with the implanted medical device. Other embodiments are also included herein.
