Abstract:
The present invention provides a recombinant gram-negative bacterial cell, characterized in that the cell comprises a recombinant polynucleotide encoding DsbC and has reduced Tsp protein activity compared to a wild-type cell.
Abstract:
The invention relates to antibody molecules having specificity for antigenic determinants of both IL-17A and IL-17F, therapeutic uses of the antibody molecules and methods for producing said antibody molecules.
Abstract:
The present invention provides the use of lipocalin 2 (LCN2) as a biomarker for IL-17 mediated diseases and for monitoring the response of a patient to anti-IL-17 therapy.

Abstract:
Novel processes for the preparation of thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives which are substituted in the 2-position by a substituted anilino moiety and intermediates thereto are provided. The compounds prepared by the present processes may be useful, for example, as selective inhibitors of human MEK (MAPKK) enzymes, and are accordingly of benefit in medicine, for example in the treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune, cardiovascular, proliferative (including oncological) and nociceptive conditions. The present processes may offer improved yields, chemical or stereochemical purity, ease of preparation and/or isolation of intermediates and final product, and more industrially useful reaction conditions and workability.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an antibody of the class IgG4 comprising at least one heavy chain which comprises a CH1 domain and a hinge region, wherein in each heavy chain: a. the inter-chain cysteine at position 127, numbered according to the Kabat numbering system, in the CH1 domain is substituted with another amino acid; and b. one or more of the amino acids positioned in the upper hinge region is substituted with cysteine.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods relating to antibodies that specifically bind to TGF-beta binding proteins are provided. These methods and compositions relate to altering bone mineral density by interfering with the interaction between a TGF-beta binding protein sclerostin and a TGF-beta superfamily member, particularly a bone morphogenic protein. Increasing bone mineral density has uses in diseases and conditions in which low bone mineral density typifies the condition, such as osteopenia, osteoporosis, and bone fractures.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the purification of an antibody fragment from a periplasmic cell extract comprising a first cation exchange chromatography step and a second anion exchange chromatography step.
Abstract:
The present invention provides dual specificity antibody fusion proteins comprising an antibody Fab or Fab′ fragment with specificity for an antigen of interest, said fragment being fused to at least one single domain antibody which has specificity for a second antigen of interest.
