20140356908 | BINDING MOLECULES - A transgenic non-human mammal containing a heterologous heavy chain gene locus that is capable of producing soluble heavy chain only antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof following immunization. | 12-04-2014 |
20140356907 | ANTIBODY PRODUCTION - A transgenic non-human mammal containing a heterologous lambda light chain gene locus, and/or a heterologous kappa light chain gene locus, and/or a heterologous heavy chain gene locus, each of which can re-arrange so that immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes are formed and expressed in B-cells following antigen challenge. | 12-04-2014 |
20140031288 | NOVEL COMPOSITION FOR TUMOR GROWTH CONTROL - The invention describes a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least compound selected from the group of demethylating agents and HDAC inhibitors and at least one somatostatin analog or dopamine agonist for the treatment of a tumor which expresses a somatostatin and/or dopamine receptor. | 01-30-2014 |
20130345405 | BINDING MOLECULES - The present invention relates to the manufacture of a diverse repertoire of functional heavy chain-only antibodies that undergo affinity maturation, and uses thereof. The invention also relates to the manufacture and use of a diverse repertoire of class-specific heavy chain-only antibodies and to the manufacture and use of multivalent polypeptide complexes with antibody heavy chain functionality, preferably antibody heavy chain binding functionality, constant region effector activity and, optionally, additional effector functions. | 12-26-2013 |
20130344057 | BINDING MOLECULES - The present invention relates to the manufacture of a diverse repertoire of functional heavy chain-only antibodies that undergo affinity maturation, and uses thereof.

20130330771 | ANTIBODY PRODUCTION - A transgenic non-human mammal containing a heterologous lambda light chain gene locus, and/or a heterologous kappa light chain gene locus, and/or a heterologous heavy chain gene locus, each of which can re-arrange so that immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes are formed and expressed in B-cells following antigen challenge. | 12-12-2013 |
20130323235 | Soluble heavy-chain only antibodies - The present invention provides a high affinity, antigen-specific, soluble heavy chain-only antibody which: lacks hallmark camelid-related amino acid substitutions and has FR2 substitutions which are not found in antibodies which comprise heavy and light chain; shows increased net hydrophobicity within CDR1 and an increased number of charged amino acids present in CDR3; and comprises one or more amino acid substitutions within the framework β-pleated sheet leading to increased net hydrophobicity within FR1 and increased number of charged amino acids present in FR3. Also provided are VH domains having the same properties, gene segments for their production, methods for their production, transgenic animals and uses of the antibody of the VH domains in therapy. | 12-05-2013 |
20120151610 | SOLUBLE "HEAVY-CHAIN ONLY" ANTIBODIES - The present invention provides a high affinity, antigen-specific, soluble heavy chain-only antibody which: lacks hallmark camelid-related amino acid substitutions and has FR2 substitutions which are not found in antibodies which comprise heavy and light chain; shows increased net hydrophobicity within CDR1 and an increased number of charged amino acids present in CDR3; and comprises one or more amino acid substitutions within the framework β-pleated sheet leading to increased net hydrophobicity within FR1 and an increased number of charged amino acids present in FR3. Also provided are VII domains having the same properties, gene segments for their production, methods for their production, transgenic animals and uses of the antibody of the VH domains in therapy. | 06-14-2012 |
20100233690 | Use of genes identified to be involved in tumor development for the development of anti-cancer drugs and diagnosis of cancer - The invention relates to the use of inhibitors of the expressed proteins of the murine genes and/or their human homologues listed in Table 1 for the preparation of a therapeutical composition for the treatment of cancer, in particular for the treatment of solid tumors of lung, colon, breast, prostate, ovarian, pancreas and leukemia and the use of the genes listed in Table 1 for the diagnosis of cancer. The invention also relates to the therapeutical compositions comprising the inhibitors and to methods for development of the inhibitor compounds. | 09-16-2010 |
20100062947 | CIRCULAR CHROMOSOME CONFORMATION CAPTURE (4C) - The present invention relates in one aspect to a method for analysing the frequency of interaction of a target nucleotide sequence with one or more nucleotide sequences of interest (eg. one or more genomic loci) comprising the steps of: (a) providing a sample of cross-linked DNA; (b) digesting the cross-linked DNA with a primary restriction enzyme; (c) ligating the cross-linked nucleotide sequences; (d) reversing the cross linking; (e) optionally digesting the nucleotide sequences with a secondary restriction enzyme; (f) optionally ligating one or more DNA sequences of known nucleotide composition to the available secondary restriction enzyme digestion site(s) that flank the one or more nucleotide sequences of interest; (g) amplifying the one or more nucleotide sequences of interest using at least two oligonucleotide primers, wherein each primer hybridises to the DNA sequences that flank the nucleotide sequences of interest; (h) hybridising the amplified sequence(s) to an array; and (i) determining the frequency of interaction between the DNA sequences. | 03-11-2010 |
