摘要:
The invention provides an isolated, dual-specific antibody, or an antigen-binding portion thereof, which is specific for human IL-1α and human IL-1β. The dual specific antibodies of the invention also neutralize both human IL-1α and human IL-1β. The invention also provides domain antibodies (dAbs) specific for human IL-1α and human IL-1β.
摘要:
The invention relates to anti-VEGF polypeptides and antibody single variable domains (dAbs) that are resistant to degradation by a protease, as well as antagonists comprising these. The polypeptides, dAbs and antagonists are useful for pulmonary administration, oral administration, delivery to the lung and delivery to the GI tract of a patient, as well as for treating cancer and inflammatory disease, such as arthritis.

The present invention relates to a simple method for generating antibody-based structures suitable for in vivo use. In particular, the invention relates to a method for the generation of antibody-based structures suitable for in vivo use comprising the steps of: (a) selecting an antibody single variable domain having an epitope binding specificity; and (b) attaching the single domain of step (a) to an effector group. Uses of molecules generated using the method of the Invention are also described.

The subject invention relates to a low cost method of producing peptides, including antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), by using microbes. The subject methods enable greatly improved yields of the peptide/AMP as compared to those heretofore known in the art. The subject methods also surprisingly enable the use of Pseudomonas fluorescens to produce AMPs and other peptides. There are several components of the subject invention, which can be used alone or in combination. The subject invention provides for the production of peptides/AMPs in concatemeric precursors. The subject invention also provides novel methods of assembling monomers into multimers, and of cleaving the multimers to yield active monomers. The subject invention also relates to the use of these multimers fused to carrier peptides to produce fusion proteins. Preferably, both the multimers and the fusion proteins (multimers with the carrier polypeptides) lack charge balancing. It has been surprisingly determined that it is not necessary to offset the positive charges of multiple copies of AMPs in multimeric constructs. Thus, the subject invention enables the use of a wider range of multimers and carrier peptides.

The nanocrystal compounds of the present invention are useful fluorescent labels.
摘要:
A series of novel photochromic spiropyrans are disclosed in which a spiro-adamantane group is introduced into the 2-position of the benzopyran or naphthopyran ring. The spiropyran compounds of the invention exhibit heliochromic properties, i.e. they color in sunlight and fade rapidly at ambient temperatures in the absence of U.V. light, making them good candidates for use in the manufacture of sunglasses. The invention includes lenses which darken in sunlight and incorporate the novel spiropyrans and a process for the preparation of the spiropyran compounds.
摘要:
Apparatus is disclosed for extruding filaments from synthetic polymeric particulate material which is conveyed to the melting area by means including a cylindrical barrel having an internal wall provided with a screw thread, and a rotating member mounted within the barrel being of a polygonal cross-section having a transverse dimension closely approximate to the inner diameter of the screw flights of the screw thread so as to allow movement of the material in a direction of the screw axis but to substantially prevent rotation of the material about the axis relative to the rotating member.
