Abstract:
Antagonists of human proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) are disclosed. Said antagonists are effective in the inhibition of PCSK9 function and thereby provide compositions of matter useful for the treatment of conditions associated with PCSK9 activity. The present invention further discloses nucleic acids encoding PCSK9 antagonists as well as methods of making and using PCSK9 antagonists.
Abstract:
An LED light module for illuminating a target plane is provided. The LED light module (110,130) includes a first LED source, a second LED source disposed adjacent the first LED source, a first lens (124) covering the first LED source, and a second lens (126) covering the second LED source. The first lens (124) is configured to direct first light beams emitted from the first light source to the target plane (140). The second lens (126) is configured to direct second light beams emitted from the second light source to the target plane (140). At least one of the first and second lenses is shaped to have an asymmetrical profile. A backlighting system and a fixture incorporating the LED light module are also provided.
Abstract:
Antagonists of human proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 ("PCSK9") are disclosed. The disclosed antagonists are effective in the inhibition of PCSK9 function and, accordingly, present desirable antagonists for use in the treatment of conditions associated with PCSK9 activity. The present invention also discloses nucleic acid encoding said antagonists, vectors, host cells, and compositions comprising the antagonists. Methods of making PCSK9-specific antagonists as well as methods of using the antagonists for inhibiting or antagonizing PCSK9 function are also disclosed and form important additional aspects of the present disclosure.

Abstract:
A light module assembly (100) includes a lens (104), a circuit board (200), and an overmold body (102). The lens (104) includes one or more pooling structures (218, 220) formed by transversely oriented exterior surfaces (402, 404) of the lens (104). The circuit board (200) is coupled to the lens (104) and has one or more light-generating devices (106) disposed on the circuit board (200). The overmold body (102) is coupled to the lens (104) to form an interface (214) between the lens (104) and the overmold body (102). The interface (214) between the lens (104) and the ovemold body (102) includes or defines moisture ingress path (216) into the circuit board (200). The one or more pooling structures (218, 220) prevent passage of moisture along the moisture ingress path (216) past the one or more pooling structures (218, 220) to the circuit board (200).

Abstract:
Methods of using PCSK9 antagonists More specifically, methods for measuring circulating PCSK9 levels in a biological sample by means of an immunoassay The immunoassay used can be a solid phase immunoassay, such as a dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluorescence immunoassay utilizing an E07 capture antibody or coating and a G08 or H23 detecting antibody.
