Abstract:
Methods for making coatings on an implantable device such as a drug-eluting stent comprising a polymer and nano or microparticles of a drug in slow-dissolving polymorph, implantable devices produced by the methods and methods of using the coatings are provided.
Abstract:
A method for preparing stapled peptides. The stapled peptides, including helical stapled peptides, are prepared according to a photochemically-based method, a [3+2] cycloaddition reaction. The helical stapled peptides exhibit increased helicity, thermal stability and cell permeability.
Abstract:
The invention is related to a recombinant single-chain tri-specific antibody made from anti-Tumor Associated Antigen (TAA) antibody, FC interlinker, anti-CD3 antibody, HSA interlinker and anti-CD28 antibody in turn. Particularly, the invention relates to an anti-CEA, anti-CD3, anti-CD28 recombinant single-chain tri-specific antibody, CEA-scTsAb, which was constructed with three tandem antibody fragments (anti-CEA scFv, anti-CD3 scFv and anti-CD28 single-domain antibody) linked by two interlinkers (FC interlinker, HSA interlinker), and could be appended by C myc tag or histidine tag ((His)6-tag) at the C terminal. It also concerns a method for construction, expression and purification of the antibody. It also offers the encoded DNA sequence of the antibody, expression vectors and host cells for the vectors.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement for point-to-point transmission over links between first and second link (end) terminals in a system implementing time division duplex (TDD) and wherein information is sent over the links in frames divided into time slots. It is adapted to determine the lengths of the frames on a per link basis using one or more link parameters, the frame length hence being variable.
Abstract:
Biodegradable implants sized and suitable for implantation in an ocular region or site and methods for treating ocular conditions. The implants provide an extended release of an active agent at a therapeutically effective amount for a period of time between 50 days and one year, or longer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an anti-ovarian cancer bispecific antibody. Said antibody includes two polypeptide domains connected by a polypeptide linker, one is anti-ovarian cancer antibody, or its Fab fragment, single complementarity determining region (CDR) antibody or single chain Fv (scFv) and the other is anti-CD3 antibody, or its Fab fragment, single CDR antibody or scFv. The present invention also provides DNA sequences encoding said antibody, an expression vector containing said DNA sequence, and a host cell containing said expression vector.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a semi-crystalline polymer for a coating on an implantable device for controlling release of drug and methods of making and using the same.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for conferring drought and salt tolerance to plants using tocopherol cyclase (TC) genes, including polynucleotides, polypeptides, vectors, cells and plants.
Abstract:
Provided are a plant stress tolerance related protein GmSIK1 and encoding gene and use thereof. The GmSIK1 protein has the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. The transgenic plant with enhanced stress tolerance such as drought tolerance and/or salt tolerance can be obtained from introducing the encoding gene of GmSIK1 protein into plant cell.
