Early Results from Ongoing Clinical Study of Hepatitis C Vaccine Delivered by Inovio Biomedical's Electroporation System Show Increased T-Cell Responses and Reduced Viral Loads

Inovio Biomedical Corporation (AMEX:INO), a leader in enabling the development of DNA vaccines using electroporation-based DNA delivery, announced today that its partner, Tripep AB, reported additional interim results from its ongoing phase I/II clinical study of its ChronVac-C® therapeutic DNA vaccine, which is delivered using Inovio’s electroporation-based DNA delivery system. These preliminary results are from the first two patients in the intermediate dose group to complete treatment against hepatitis C virus infection. Samples taken before, during and after treatment showed that the viral levels in blood decreased up to 87% and 98%, respectively, during treatment. Simultaneous activation of the patients’ T-cell responses to the hepatitis C virus was recorded in conjunction with the viral load reductions. Inovio's electroporation delivery technology is intended to enhance the potency of DNA vaccines against cancers and infectious diseases. (PRWeb Jun 30, 2008)

Analog Devices' 16-Bit, 10-MSPS SAR Converter Surpasses Industry Performance Benchmark : - Medical imaging and data acquisition systems gain precision and throughput with PulSAR® ADC that achieves 15 effective number of bits and 2.5 times faster sample rate.

Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), the global leader in data converter technology, today expanded its PulSAR® family of precision 16-bit SAR ADCs (successive-approximation register analog-to-digital converters) with a breakthrough in data conversion that delivers an unequalled combination of speed and accuracy. The ability to process information at higher speeds while preserving data integrity is a key requirement in today’s most advanced industrial and medical systems. For example, in medical MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and digital X-ray systems, the speed and accuracy supported by the new PulSAR ADC enables medical procedures to be conducted more quickly and accurately, reducing the time patients must lie motionless during MRI examinations and reducing X-ray radiation exposure.
