T Cell Transact™ Efficient T Cell Activation and Expansion Your New Solution for T Cell Activation T Cell TransAct™ Efficient T cell activation and expansion Your new solution for T cell activation What is T Cell TransAct™ ? This ready-to-use reagent provides an innovative method for physiological activation and expansion of human T cells. T Cell TransAct is a colloidal polymeric nanomatrix conjugated to humanized recombinant CD3 and CD28 agonists ensuring successful activation of resting T cells from hematological cell populations (e.g. PBMCs or enriched T cell populations) without the involvement of CD4 or CD8. MACS® GMP T Cell TransAct is manufactured and controlled under ISO 13485 requirements. It is designed following the recommendations of USP <1043> on ancillary materials. In the US, a master file is held with the FDA for IND applications with Product Quality Certificate available via our website. Figure 1: T Cell TransAct is in suspension when added to cell culture for polyclonal T cell stimulation.

  • Herbert Geer Letter
    20 March 2012 PUBLIC VERSION Mr Bruce Mikkelsen Australian Competition and Consumer Commission GPO Box 3131 Canberra ACT 2601 By email: [email protected] Dear Mr Mikkelsen Proposed acquisition of Austar by Foxtel – response to proposed undertakings This submission is provided by iiNet Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary TransACT Communications Pty Ltd (referred to collectively in this letter as iiNet) in response to the Commission‟s letter of 7 March 2012 inviting comments about the effectiveness of the section 87B undertaking offered by Foxtel in relation to its proposed acquisition of Austar. 1. INTRODUCTION The proposed undertaking will have little (if any) meaningful effect on the market for the acquisition of compelling content in the event that the merger is allowed to go ahead. The undertaking also does nothing to address the market dominance issue in the Australian subscription TV market, or related telecommunications markets, and actually exacerbates the issue which will result in a substantial lessening of competition. It is apparent from the preamble to the proposed undertaking that the main source of competition that is being relied on to provide competitive restraint is IPTV. The only way that this can realistically be achieved is if the undertaking improves the access to compelling content for new and emerging IPTV providers to a level where those IPTV providers will actually be in a position to compete with the merged entity for the acquisition of content. It is impossible for this objective to be achieved unless IPTV providers have access to premium content that is capable of attracting large numbers of subscribers.

  • A Digital Agenda1
    SRJ 35.1 v1 26/3/02 2:15 PM Page 21 A DIGITAL AGENDA1 Jock Given Abstract This article discusses progress with the introduction of digital TV and radio in Australia and the implications for Australian public service broadcasters. It argues that digital technologies provide powerful tools for the ABC and the SBS to apply to their existing activities. However, realising this potential will be expensive. It also brings with it some threats to the independence of the organizations. The article concludes by suggesting that, even if Australia’s public service broadcasters did not already exist, many of their central characteristics would be invaluable features in some organizations with a central role in the emerging media and communications landscape. These characteristics include their particular institutional structures, their size, their primary emphasis on “content,” and the comprehensiveness or inclusiveness of their mandates. Introduction This paper is primarily about Australian public service broadcasting. Thinking about its future is sometimes confused by applying to it the frames derived elsewhere, where public service broadcasters are very different. Australian public service broadcasting comprises two broadcasting institutions, the ABC and the SBS, which both offer TV and radio services and whose primary responsibilities are to offer “comprehensive” and “multicultural” services respectively. This is significantly different from even those countries with whom compar- isons are most often drawn: the UK, where all free-to-air TV broad- casters have carried “public service responsibilities” (see for example Department of National Heritage 11–13) and the “niche” broadcaster Channel 4 does not provide radio services; New Zealand, where there are separate public corporations providing TV and radio services; and Canada, where there is a single, national public service broadcaster.

  • 1 Supplementary Submission by Foxtel to The
    SUPPLEMENTARY SUBMISSION BY FOXTEL TO THE PRODUCTIVITY COMMISION INQUIRY INTO TELECOMMUNICATIONS SPECIFIC COMPETITION REGULATION The distribution by Pay TV operators of their “branded” retail service on new delivery platforms. The issue of whether FOXTEL will provide its fully branded service for distribution over third party cable networks is ultimately a commercial decision for FOXTEL. FOXTEL has no problem in principle with this type of arrangement but there are a number of factors that need to be taken into account in the consideration of any such arrangement. Those factors include: 1. FOXTEL believes that it is critical that it is able to offer to its customers the same options on all forms of technology. For example, if FOXTEL is to launch a digital cable service, then FOXTEL’s customers who subscribe to the FOXTEL digital service and receive FOXTEL via the Telstra cable, should be offered the same functionality to and from the customer as those on a third party digital cable. The same issue arises in relation to technology upgrades. If this does not occur, the marketing message becomes confused and potentially misleading. 2. Maintaining the integrity of the FOXTEL brand and service is critical, and FOXTEL’s viability depends on it delivering to all of its subscribers a consistent product, regardless of where they live or what delivery system they use. So FOXTEL is concerned to ensure that any arrangement with third parties will not in any way diminish the value of the FOXTEL brand. In addition, FOXTEL does not want to make its service available on a third party network where it is clear that the business model is too aggressive and there is a high likelihood that the model will not succeed long term.
