The invention comprises a method of loading or unloading a transportable container onto or from a transporting vehicle. The method involves engaging each of the four corner regions of the container (3) with an apparatus (1, 43) having a powered extendable and retractable leg (2). To unload the container from the transporting vehicle shown in Fig. 5, each leg (2) is synchronously lowered so that they engage the ground surface and accordingly lift the container (3). The transporting vehicle is then moved from under the container (3). Alternatively, if the container (3) is to be loaded onto the transporting vehicle shown in Fig 5, the deck of the transporting vehicle is positioned under the container (3) once the legs (2) have been lowered. Then, synchronously each of the legs (2) is raised so as to lower the container (3) onto the ground or to lower the container (3) onto the deck of the transporting vehicle. Each apparatus (1, 43) is then disengaged from the corner regions of the container (3). The invention also relates to the apparatus for loading or unloading a container (3) onto or from a transporting vehicle. Four lifting devices (1, 43) are provided each having an extendable leg (2) formed by a piston and cylinder assembly. Each lifting device (1, 43) has a peg (4) which engages an upper aperture in a container (3), a second locating means (20) is provided for engaging the lower part of the container (3) and a foot (31) for contacting the ground surface. The apparatus can be used to relocate containers (3).

摘要:
Described herein are compositions and methods for selective depletion of target molecules using a recyclable CDP- receptor-binding mediated complex to elicit endocytosis and cellular degradation of the target. Exemplary compositions containing a peptide, such as a CDP peptide, that bind a transferrin receptor can be linked to a peptide that binds a target molecule. Such compositions can be used to selectively recruit the target molecule to endosomes via transferrin receptor-mediated endocytosis of the composition and the bound target molecule. Once inside the endosome, the acidic pH can lead to release of the target molecule from the composition due to pH-dependent binding of the composition for the target molecule, and the transferrin receptor portion is recycled back to the cell surface for "reloading". The target molecule can then be trafficked into lysosomes wherein it is degraded.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for targeting SOX2 antigen to, for example, treat or manage cancer. Provided compositions include binding proteins that are capable of binding to a SOX2 antigen:HLA complex. Also provided are polynucleotides and transgene constructs encoding binding proteins, such as a T cell receptor or a chimeric antigen receptor, that specifically bind to a SOX2 antigen. Such polynucleotides and transgene constructs can be introduced into an immune cell, such as a T cell, and used in immunotherapy in a subject having or at risk for a cancer associated with SOX2 expression or activity. The present disclosure also provides immunogenic compositions comprising SOX2 antigens, and related uses.
摘要:

The compound of Formula (I) can be used in the treatment of fibrotic conditions in general, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, HBV infection, any liver disease, pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), renal fibrosis, cardiac fibrosis, or any combination thereof.
摘要:
Barre d'alésage munie d'actionneurs électrodynamiques pour contrer les vibrations et machine-outil munie d'une telle barre. La barre d'alésage (BF) est munie d'une paroi (P), d'un logement interne (Ll) et d'un axe longitudinal (Z), ladite barre d'alésage (BF) comportant, dans son logement interne (Ll) : • un premier actionneur (100) électrodynamique muni de bobinages (101, 102) associés à une masse mobile (110) et un ensemble de ressorts (120, 121) agencés pour définir une première direction d'actionnement (X) perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal (Z) de la barre d'alésage; • un deuxième actionneur (200) électrodynamique muni de bobinages (201, 202) associés à une masse mobile (210) et un ensemble de ressorts (220, 221) agencés pour définir une deuxième direction d'actionnement (Y) à la fois perpendiculaire à la première direction d'actionnement (X) et à l'axe longitudinal (Z) de la barre d'alésage. Les actionneurs permettent ainsi de contrer les vibrations dans les directions (X, Y) perpendiculaires à l'axe longitudinal (Z) de la barre, lequel axe longitudinal définit également la direction d'alésage.
