Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 23
Claim 1
Independent Claim 26 words
A method for the protection of ischemic tissues, comprising the administration to said tissue prior to reperfusion of an effective amount of a tumor necrosis factor.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 26 words
A method for the protection of ischemic tissues, comprising the administration to said tissue prior to reperfusion of an effective amount of a tumor necrosis factor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is administered prior to or after removal of said tissue from a donor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is administered prior to or after transfer of said tissue to a patient.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tissue has been or is to be removed from a mammalian donor and transferred into a mammalian patient.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 10 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tissue is mammalian.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is administered along with alpha, beta, or gamma-interferon.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 17 words
The method of claim 1, wherein approximately 1-250 μg/m 2 of said tumor necrosis factor is administered.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is tumor necrosis factor-α or tumor necrosis factor-β.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is perfused into said tissue by mechanical means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 21 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is continuously perfused through said tissue with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 65 words
The method of claim 10, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is perfused into said tissue before or after the tissue has been removed from a donor but prior to the implantation of said tissue into a patient, and wherein said tumor necrosis factor is replaced by an isotonic perfusion fluid free of tumor necrosis factor immediately prior to implantation of the tissue into said patient.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 19 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is administered along with an antioxidant or fibrinolytic agent.
Claim 14
Independent Claim 41 words
A method for the protection of ischemic tissue to be removed from a donor and transferred to a patient, comprising the administration to said donor prior to the removal of said tissue of an effective amount of a tumor necrosis factor.
Claim 15
Independent Claim 41 words
A method for the protection of ischemic tissue to be removed from a donor and transferred to a patient, comprising the administration to said donor prior to the removal of said tissue of an effective amount of a tumor necrosis factor.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 13, wherein said donor and said patient are mammalian.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 13, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is administered along with alpha, beta, or gamma-interferon.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim 17 words
The method of claim 13, wherein approximately 1-250 μg/m 2 of said tumor necrosis factor is administered.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 13, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is tumor necrosis factor-α or tumor necrosis factor-β.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim 16 words
The method of claim 13, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is administered to said donor intravenously.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim 19 words
The method of claim 13, wherein said tumor necrosis factor is administered along with an antioxidant or fibrinolytic agent.
Claim 22
Dependent Claim 42 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tissue is selected from the group consisting of muscle tissue, connective tissue, epithelial tissue, nervous tissue, vascular tissue, brain, reproductive organs, respiratory organs, digestive organs, excretory organs, urinary organs, sensory organs, and skeletal muscle organs.
Claim 23
Dependent Claim 42 words
The method of claim 13, wherein said tissue is selected from the group consisting of muscle tissue, connective tissue, epithelial tissue, nervous tissue, vascular tissue, brain, reproductive organs, respiratory organs, digestive organs, excretory organs, urinary organs, sensory organs, and skeletal muscle organs.
