    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing electronically mailable call credits and call connections to be charged thereto are purchased by a customer for a recipient through the Internet and sent via email to the recipient. The recipient requests a call by activating an icon associated with the email. An application server receives the request and sends a call request message via the Internet to a virtual switching point associated with a switched telephone network. The virtual switching point initiates actions in the switched telephone network to set up a telephone communication between the recipient and a party to be called.

    摘要: A naturally occurring or recombinant protein, especially a mutein of porcine urate oxidase (uricase), that is essentially free of large aggregates can be rendered substantially non-immunogenic by conjugation with a sufficiently small number of strands of polymer such that the bioactivity of the protein is essentially retained in the conjugate. Such conjugates are unusually well suited for treatment of chronic conditions because they are less likely to induce the formation of antibodies and/or accelerated clearance than are similar conjugates prepared from protein preparations containing traces of large aggregates.

    摘要: Methods are provided for the synthesis of polymer conjugates of cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, polypeptide hormones and receptor-binding antagonists thereof, which conjugates retain unusually high receptor-binding activity. Preparation of polymer conjugates according to the methods of the present invention diminishes or avoids steric inhibition of receptor-ligand interactions that commonly results from the attachment of polymers to receptor-binding regions of cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and polypeptide hormones, as well as to agonistic and antagonistic analogs thereof. The invention also provides conjugates and compositions produced by such methods. The conjugates of the present invention retain a higher level of receptor-binding activity than those produced by traditional polymer coupling methods that are not targeted to avoid receptor-binding domains of cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and polypeptide hormones. The conjugates of the present invention also exhibit an extended half-life in vivo and in vitro compared to unconjugated cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and polypeptide hormones. The present invention also provides kits comprising such conjugates and/or compositions, and methods of use of such conjugates and compositions in a variety of diagnostic, prophylactic, therapeutic and bioprocessing applications.
