20090029419 | Expression of modified antibodies in avian cells - The present invention relates to construct and methods which allow the expression of immunoglobulins or functional fragments thereof which have been altered to that they are humanised. The expression of the immunoglobulins or fragments thereof takes place in avian cells, and the constructs used have been altered such that the expression levels in avian cells are higher than what would have been expected by simply using a humanised construct. The alterations are based on changing codons so that each amino acid of the codon that is used is the one which is most often found in avians. | 01-29-2009 |
20110159515 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE RAPID GROWTH AND DETECTION OF MICROORGANISMS - The invention relates to assay methods for use in detecting specific materials such as core oligosaccharides derived from microorganisms, particularly pathogenic microorganisms, in a test sample. The invention further relates to compositions and methods for the rapid growth of such microorganisms enabling detection of same significantly earlier than is currently possible. In particular embodiments the invention is directed towards the rapid growth and/or detection of | 06-30-2011 |
20120115723 | Ballast Water Treatment System - A composition for treating waters, e.g. ballast water or injection water for oil recovery, to kill in-situ aquatic invasive species comprises at least one biocide capable of killing both animal and plant micro-organisms. The at least one biocide preferably comprises Brilliant Green, Gentian Violet, and/or erythrosine, and a wetting agent or detergent-like compound such as CTAB or CTAC. The invention also relates to a system for treating ballast water in situ comprising means for injecting a composition for treating ballast water; means for measuring the flow rate or amount of ballast water to be treated; means for controlling the dosing of the composition; and means for storing or receiving the composition. The invention also relates to a method of detecting viable aquatic organisms in ballast water in situ comprising detecting metabolism in viable micro-organisms in ballast water and, therefore, measuring the efficacy of any treatment. | 05-10-2012 |
