摘要:
Specific binding members comprising human antibody antigen binding domains specific for human transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) bind specifically isoforms TGFβ2 and TGFβ1 or both, preferentially compared with TGFβ3. Specific binding members may be isolated and utilized in the treatment of disease, particularly fibrotic disease and also immune/inflammatory diseases. Therapeutic utility is demonstrated using in vitro and in vivo models. Full sequence and binding information is provided, including epitope sequence information for particularly advantageous specific binding member which binds the active form of TGFβ2, neutralizing its activity, but does not bind the latent member.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods and compositions for detecting pregnancy in an animal by means of assaying peptidase activity of one or more Pregnancy Associated Glycoproteins (PAGs). In certain aspects, methods also comprising use of an antibody that binds immunologically to a PAG that displays proteolytic activity are provided. Substrates of proteolytic PAGs are also provided, as are kits, and methods of use. Further, methods of purifying PAGs based on their proteolytic activity are also provided.
摘要:
Disclosed are antibodies and methods for detecting pregnancy in an animal. In certain aspects antibodies used binds immunologically to at least two PAGs selected from PAG4, PAG6, PAG9, PAG16, PAG17, PAG19, PAG20 and PAG21. Antibody encoding nucleic acids are also provided, as are kits, methods of use and additional antibody related compositions.
摘要:
A unified communication system is disclosed that allows a variety of end point types to participate in a communication event using a common, unified communication system. In some implementations, a calling party interacts with a client application residing on an endpoint to make a communication request to another endpoint. A communication event manager residing in the unified communication system selects a script from a repository of scripts based on the communication event and the capabilities of the endpoints. A communication event execution engine receives a user profile associated with at least one of the endpoints. The user profile can be configured by the user to describe the user's preferences for how the communication should be processed by the unified communication system.

The invention relates to the use of certain methanebisphosphonic acid derivatives (for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition) for the prevention and treatment of prosthesis loosening and prosthesis migration in mammals including man.
摘要:
The invention relates to topically adminstrable pharmaceutical preparations containing pharmaceutically acceptable methanediphosphonic acid derivatives of formula ##STR1## and their salts, wherein each of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is halogen, or wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen and R.sub.2 is Ar--S-- or Het.sub.1 --NH--, in which Ar is unsubstituted or substituted phenyl and Het.sub.1 is unsubstituted or substituted, monocyclic, 5- or 6-membered monoaza-, diaza- or thiaza-aryl that is bonded via a ring carbon atom, or wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or hydroxy and R.sub.2 is --A--R.sub.3, in which A is alkylene and, on the one hand, R.sub.3 is Het.sub.2, which is Het.sub.1 bonded via a ring carbon or ring nitrogen atom, or, on the other hand, R.sub.3 is hydrogen, or amino that is unsubsituted or mono- or di-substituted by identical or different substituents selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, Ar-alkyl, Ar-O-alkyl, Ar-S-alkyl and Het.sub.1 -alkyl, or that is disubstituted by optionally Ar-containing alkylene, wherein two alkylene carbon atoms mar additionally be linked to one another via alkylene and Ar and Het.sub.1 are each as defined above, with the proviso that when R.sub.2 is --A--R.sub. 3, A is ethylene and R.sub.3 is unsubstituted or C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl-substituted amino, R.sub.1 is other than hydroxy.
摘要:
The present invention provides a dispenser for folded sheets having an overfill prevention device, which effectively prevents the dispenser from being overfilled with folded sheet material. The result of the present invention is that a maintainer of the dispenser will have a difficult time overfilling the dispenser.
