Abstract:
A method of generating novel nucleic acid molecules, by applying a combinatorial approach to the assembly of blocks of nucleic acid sequence, is described. By using restriction endonucleases having different recognition sites but which produce compatible cleavage products, a library of DNA molecules, of varying length and sequence, may be generated in a desired orientation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to single chain polypeptides comprising one or more immunoglobulin Fc domains. In particular the present invention relates to single-chain Fc polypeptides in which at least one functional Fc domain is formed within the polypeptide chain.
Abstract:
A method of obtaining at least one recombinant antibody with improved affinity for a selected antigen from a family of antibodies which bind the selected antigen comprising: a) obtaining a family of two or more antibodies which bind the same antigen in which the VH CDR3 amino acid sequence of each antibody in the family is the same length and greater than 60% identical at the amino acid level; b) re-pairing the VH region of an antibody obtained in step (a) with the VL region from a different antibody obtained in step (a) to produce a new recombinant antibody; and c) screening the recombinant antibody produced in step (b) and selecting said antibody if it has improved affinity for the selected antigen compared to any one of the antibodies obtained in step (a).

Abstract:
This invention relates to engineering of antibodies and more specifically provides altered antibodies of the IgG class to which one or more effector molecules are attached. The invention further relates to methods for the production of such conjugated antibodies.
Abstract:
The present invention provides anti-TNFα antibodies which selectively inhibit TNFα signalling through the p55R. In particular the present invention provides anti-TNFα antibodies which selectively inhibit TNFα signalling through the p55R relative to the p75R.
Abstract:
A Nav1.7 binding entity that after binding functionally modifies the activity of the ion channel, in particular an anti-Nav1.7 antibody or binding fragment thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said antibodies, use of the antibodies and compositions comprising the same, in treatment, for example in the treatment/modulation of pain and processes for generating and preparing said antibodies.
Abstract:
