摘要:
The present invention relates to amino acid sequences that block the interaction between (a target on) an antigen presenting cell (APC) and (a target on) a T-cell. More particularly, the present invention relates to amino acid sequences that are directed against (as defined herein) a target on an APC (also referred to herein as “APC target”) or a target on a T-cell (also referred to herein as “T-cell target”). The invention further relates to compounds or constructs, and in particular proteins and polypeptides, that comprise or essentially consist of one or more such amino acid sequences.
摘要:
The present invention relates to amino acid sequences that are directed against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as well as to compounds or constructs, and in particular proteins and polypeptides, that comprise or essentially consist of one or more such amino acid sequences. The amino acid sequences, compounds and constructs can be used for prophylactic, therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, such as for the treatment of conditions and diseases characterized by excessive and/or pathological angiogenesis or neovascularization.
摘要:
The present invention provides heavy chain variable domain antibodies (VHH) for preventing and/or dissolving aggregates. VHH of the invention are preferably used in the treatment of human diseases that are associated with the formation of aggregates in the body. The invention further provides, among others, means and methods for selecting and using VHH.

摘要:
Described is the specific delivery of agrochemicals to plants. More specifically, a targeting agent has at least one binding domain that specifically binds to a binding site on an intact living plant. Such binding domains include a peptide having 4 framework regions and 3 complementarity-determining regions, or fragment thereof, wherein the binding domains bind or retain a carrier onto a plant. Described are binding domains that specifically bind trichomes, stomata, cuticle, lenticels, thorns, spines, root hairs, or wax layer. Further described is a method for delivering agrochemicals to a plant, for depositing agrochemicals on a plant, and for retaining the agrochemicals on a plant, using targeting agents comprising the binding domains, and to a method for protecting a plant against stress or controlling plant growth. Also, described is a method for manufacturing a specifically targeting agrochemical carrier.
摘要:
Described is an antigen-binding protein, preferably comprising an amino acid sequence that comprises four framework regions and three complementarity-determining regions, wherein the antigen-binding protein is capable of binding a chitinous polysaccharide, and uses thereof.
摘要:
Described is a composition for seed treatment comprising a plant seed-binding protein, preferably an antigen-binding plant seed-binding protein. In one embodiment, the seed-binding protein is binding a polysaccharide, preferably pectin. Further described is the use of a plant seed-binding protein to bind a plant-enhancing agent to a plant seed, and to a method for treating plant seeds.

The present invention relates to amino acid sequences that are directed against (as defined herein) human cellular receptors for viruses and/or bacteria such as e.g. Nanobodies specifically recognizing hCD4, hCXCR4, hCCR5. hTLR4, human alphaV integrin, human beta3 integrin, human beta1 integrin, human alpha2 integrin, hCD81, hSR-B1, hClaudin-1, hClaudin-6 and hClaudin-9, as well as to compounds or constructs, and in particular proteins and polypeptides, that comprise or essentially consist of one or more such amino acid sequences. Said amino acid sequences may be used to prevent human cell entry of HIV, HCV, adenoviruses, hantavirus, herpesvirus, echo-virus 1 and others.
