The present invention provides methods of determining whether test cells in a sample are cancerous or not and determining if lymphocytes are activated or not. The method measures the test cells DNA ploidy and the cellular activity of an enzyme such as an esterase, which has altered expression in cancer cells. Esterase activity can be measured using fluorescent compounds such as fluorescein diacetate.

A method of providing a service, to a plurality of terminals on a communication network, through a server on the communication network includes the following steps: 1) coupling a correlator to the network which links a unique name for the server to multiple network addresses; 2) providing a set of multiple computers on the network, each of which performs the service and is assigned a different one of the multiple network addresses; and, 3) incorporating a network address selector on the network which directs any one of the terminals to a single one of the computers, when an operator of that one terminal generates a request for the service which includes the unique name of the server. Due to this method, the server has a virtual single network address which means that from the point of view of an operator of a terminal, the service is being provided by a single computer on the network that has a single network address that corresponds to the server's unique name. But in reality, the requested service is being provided to the terminal by different computers at different times, depending upon which computer is selected by the network address selector.

A method of transferring funds electronically, is performed by a group of N computers X(1) thru X(N) which are intercoupled to each other, and to another computer Y, by a communication channel. Each computer of the group includes multiple customer accounts, and the computer Y includes a net account for each computer of the group. To initiate the transfer of funds between two customer accounts, a customer sends an input request to one of computers X(i) of the group; and this input request specifies that funds F(z) be transferred in a particular direction between a customer account A(r) in computer X(i) and a customer account A(s) in another computer X(j) of the group. For each input request that is received by computer X(i), a respective sequence of electronic control messages is sent on the communication channel among the computers X(i), X(j) and Y. By this sequence of control messages, computer X(i) tests the status of customer account A(r); computer X(j) tests the status of customer account A(s); and computer Y tests the status of the net accounts for computers X(i) and X(j). If all of the tests by the computers X(i) and x(j) are satisfied, then those computers both authorize computer Y to transfer the funds F(z) between the net accounts for computers X(i) and X(j); and if all of the tests by computer Y are satisfied, then computer Y authorizes the computers X(i) and X(j) to transfer the funds F(z) between the customer accounts A(r) and A(s).

This invention provides methods and compositions for treating tumors. The cell population is made up of alloactivated lymphocytes from the patient or from one or more third-party donors that are alloactivated in a mixed lymphocyte culture. It can be placed into the tumor bed, or combined with tumor-associated antigen for administration to a distal site as a vaccine. The compositions recruit activated participation of the host Immune system, which then reacts against the tumor and provides a level of ongoing protection. Employing multiple third party donor cells confers particular advantages in terms of effectiveness, timing, and ease of use.
