摘要:
A method is disclosed for producing a modified eukaryotic cytoplasmic DNA virus by direct molecular cloning of a modified DNA molecule comprising a modified cytoplasmic DNA virus genome. The inventive method comprises the steps of (I) modifying under extracellular conditions a DNA molecule comprising a first cytoplasmic DNA virus genome to produce a modified DNA molecule comprising the modified cytoplasmic DNA virus genome; (II) introducing the modified DNA molecule into a first host cell which packages the modified DNA molecule into infectious virions; and (III) recovering from the host cell virions comprised of the modified viral genome. The host cell is infected with a helper virus which is expressed to package the modified viral genome into infectious virions. Examples of packaging a modified poxvirus genome by a helper poxvirus of the same or different genus are described. Also disclosed are novel poxvirus vectors for direct molecular cloning of open reading frames into a restriction enzyme cleavage site that is unique in the vector. In one model poxvirus vector, the open reading frame is transcribed by a promoter located in the vector DNA upstream of a multiple cloning site comprised of several unique cleavage sites.

摘要:
The present invention relates to monoclonal antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to the C-terminal or the center region of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). These anti-MIF antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof further inhibit human MIF biological function. The invention also relates to isolated heavy and light chain immunoglobulins derived from anti-MIF antibodies and nucleic acid molecules encoding such immunoglobulins. The present invention also relates to a method of identifying anti-MIF antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these antibodies and a method of using these antibodies and compositions for the treatment of MIF-related conditions.
摘要:
The present invention concerns the use of peptides derived from and antibodies generated against Factor VIII and the inhibition of Factor VIII interaction with LRP. Furthermore, the present invention concerns a method to inhibit LRP interaction with Factor VIII as well as a method to decrease Factor VIII degradation and/or prolong Factor VIII half-life in a biological fluid and/or a method to treat patients suffering from a blood coagulation disorder, especially Haemophilia A. The present invention also concerns a pharmaceutical composition useful for the decrease of Factor VIII degradation in a biological fluid, the inhibition of Factor VIII interaction with LRP, and/or the prolongation of Factor VIII half-life in a biological fluid for treatment of a blood coagulation disorder, especially Haemophilia A.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and means for detecting ADAMTS13 immune complexes in a sample. The methods include the steps of capturing and labelling immune complexes of anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies. Capturing and labelling may be achieved by two different binding units targeting the immune complexes. The invention further relates to diagnosing diseases associated with immunologic ADAMTS13 dysfunction like TTP (thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura).

The present invention provides von Willebrand Factor-polymer conjugates and Factor VIII-polymer conjugates, each having a releasable linkage. Methods of making conjugates, methods for administering conjugates, are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a proteinaceous construct (also designated as polymer-VWF-conjugate) comprising plasmatic and/or recombinant von Willebrand factor (VWF), said VWF being bound to at least one physiologically acceptable polymer molecule, as well as to a complex between said proteinaceous construct and at least one factor VIII (FVIII) protein. The physiologically acceptable polymer molecule can be, for instance, polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polysialic acid (PSA). Further the present invention relates to methods for prolonging the in vivo-half-life of VWF or FVIII in the blood of a mammal having a bleeding disorder associated with functional defects of or deficiencies of at least one of FVIII or VWF.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a purified recombinant blood coagulation factor IX (rFIX) preparation, wherein at least 25% of the rFIX in the preparation is fully phosphorylated and sulfated, a cell culture expressing a rFIX resulting in said preparation, a pharmaceutical composition for treating a bleeding disorder comprising said preparation, and a method for treating a bleeding disorder comprising the step of administering said preparation to a patient in need thereof.
