    Abstract: A preform (10) for an antiresonant hollow core optical fibre comprises an outer jacket tube (12) having an inner surface and a central longitudinal axis (24); a plurality of antiresonant cladding tubes (14) spaced apart at predefined peripheral locations around the inner surface of the outer jacket tube (12), each antiresonant cladding tube (14) in contact with the inner surface such that a central longitudinal axis (26) of each antiresonant cladding tube (14) is at a first radial distance from the central longitudinal axis (24) of the outer jacket tube (12); and a plurality of spacing elements (22) disposed alternately with the antiresonant cladding tubes (14) and each in contact with an outer surface of each of two adjacent antiresonant cladding tubes (14) at one or more contact points (28), the contact points (28) at a second radial distance from the central longitudinal axis (24) of the outer jacket tube (12), the second radial distance being greater than the first radial distance.

    Abstract: A method for co-compartmentalising a cyclic polypeptide with a polynucleotide encoding the cyclic polypeptide, comprising the steps of a) forming a compartment containing a polynucleotide encoding the cyclic polypeptide, b) expressing a polypeptide from the polynucleotide, and c) cyclising the polypeptide. Co-compartmentalised cyclic polypeptides and encoding polynucleotides. Libraries of co-compartmentalised cyclic polypeptide and encoding polynucleotide. Methods for screening libraries of co-compartmentalised cyclic polypeptide and encoding polynucleotide. Incorporation of non-canonical nucleic acids into such libraries.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of treatment or prevention of B-cell related disease in a subject comprising the administration of a binding molecule capable of binding to a B-cell and promoting killing of the B-cell; and an immunostimulatory agent arranged to stimulate effector lymphocytes, such as NK and/or T cells. Additionally, an anti-CD27 binding agent for use in a combination therapy with an anti-CD20 binding agent for the treatment or prevention of B-cell related disease in a subject. The disclosure also relates to a method of treatment or prevention of cancer in a subject comprising the administration of a cancer-cell-depleting binding agent capable of binding to the cancer cell and promoting killing of the cancer cell; and an immunostimulatory agent arranged to stimulate NK and/or T-cell activation. Additionally, an anti-CD27 binding agent for use in a combination therapy with a cancer-cell-depleting binding agent for the treatment or prevention of cancer in a subject.
