Filed:

Oct 26, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/586894

Inventors:

Timothy Burgess - Silver Spring MD, US
Jeffrey Tjaden - Eagle River AK, US
Kevin Porter - Boyds MD, US
Nicole Martin - Olney MD, US
Mary Marovich - Bethesda MD, US

International Classification:

C12Q 1/70
C12Q 1/68

US Classification:

435006000, 435005000

Abstract:

The invention concerns a method of detecting dengue infection by detecting anti-dengue neutralizing substances including anti-dengue antibody by measuring inhibition of dengue binding to dentritic cell-specific intracellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) 3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) or liver/lymph node-specific intracellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) 3-grabbing nonintegrin (L-SIGN). DC-SIGN or L-SIGN can be used expressed in transfected cell lines that normally are not infected by dengue virus. The invention also concerns a method of detecting anti-dengue drugs by their ability to inhibit binding of dengue virus to DC-SIGN or L-SIGN.

International Classification:

F25B 39/00
F28F 1/32

Abstract:

In a refrigeration system, a tube-and-fin heat exchanger has spaced fins that extend to an outer periphery of the heat exchanger and has smaller embedded fins in between or in a spaced relationship with each of the other fins. The embedded fins do not extend all the way to the outer periphery of the fins along the airside directions but have a shorter outer periphery such that there is an offset distance. Because of the offset distance, there is space that continues to provide room for fluid movement without fouling of the face of the heat exchanger and that provides an expected appearance while still having the benefit of additional fins elements further inside of the heat exchanger. Other exchangers and condensers are included.
