Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080213829 | Materials and methods to increase peptide chain expression - DNA sequences that increase peptide chain expression when operably linked to a gene encoding the peptide chain and methods of generating a peptide chain expression host cell using the foregoing are disclosed. Peptide chain expression host cells are also disclosed. | 09-04-2008 |
20080299133 | Anti-Il-12 Antibody Based Vectors, Host Cells, and Methods of Production and Uses - Antibody expression vectors and plasmids can incorporate various antibody gene portions for transcription of the antibody DNA and expression of the antibody in an appropriate host cell. The expression vectors and plasmids have restriction enzyme sites that facilitate ligation of antibody-encoding DNA into the vectors. The vectors incorporate enhancer and promoter sequences that can be varied to interact with transcription factors in the host cell and thereby control transcription of the antibody-encoding DNA. A kit can incorporate these vectors and plasmids. | 12-04-2008 |
20090202549 | Anti-IL-12 Antibodies, Epitopes, Compositions, Methods and Uses - An anti-IL-12 antibody that binds to a portion of the IL-12 protein corresponding to at least one amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of residues 15, 17-21, 23, 40-43, 45-47, 54-56 and 58-62 of the amino acid sequence of the p40 subunit of IL-12, including isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one anti-IL-12 antibody, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof have applications in diagnostic and/or therapeutic compositions, methods and devices. | 08-13-2009 |
20090232734 | ANTI-TISSUE FACTOR ANTIBODIES AND COMPOSITIONS - Isolated anti-tissue factor antibodies, immunoglobulins, cleavage products and other specified portions and variants thereof having enhanced ADCC activity, as well as anti-tissue factor antibody compositions, encoding or complementary nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, compositions, formulations, devices, transgenic animals, transgenic plants, and methods of making and using thereof. The antibodies of the invention bind human tissue factor and demonstrate enhanced ADCC activity. Accordingly, the antibodies can be used in a variety of methods for diagnosing, treating, and/or preventing diseases involving tissue factor, where enhanced ADCC activity is desirable such as cancer. | 09-17-2009 |
20100216234 | Anti-IL-12 Antibody Based Vectors, Host Cells, and Methods of Production and Uses - Antibody expression vectors and plasmids can incorporate various antibody gene portions for transcription of the antibody DNA and expression of the antibody in an appropriate host cell. The expression vectors and plasmids have restriction enzyme sites that facilitate ligation of antibody-encoding DNA into the vectors. The vectors incorporate enhancer and promoter sequences that can be varied to interact with transcription factors in the host cell and thereby control transcription of the antibody-encoding DNA. A kit can incorporate these vectors and plasmids. | 08-26-2010 |
20110124024 | Proteolysis Resistant Antibody Preparations - Antibody preparations with substantially homogeneous and unsialylated glycoforms, such as G0 and G2, are prepared by enzymatic treatment, expression under certain conditions, use of particular host cells, and contact with serum. These antibody preparations resist cleavage by proteases, such as papain, ficin, bromolein, pepsin, a matrix metalloproteinase, such as MMP-7, neutrophil elastase (HNE), stromelysin (MMP-3) and macrophage elastase (MMP-12), and glycosylation modification enzymes. The antibody preparations with substantially homogeneous and unsialylated glycoforms and methods of testing for glycosylation in an antibody are useful in connection with characterization of antibody properties and/or in diseases or conditions characterized by an increase in protease activity. | 05-26-2011 |
20120207670 | Method for Treating Psoriasis by Administering An Anti-IL-12 Antibody - An anti-IL-12 antibody that binds to a portion of the IL-12 protein corresponding to at least one amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of residues 15, 17-21, 23, 40-43, 45-47, 54-56 and 58-62 of the amino acid sequence of the p40 subunit of IL-12, including isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one anti-IL-12 antibody, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof have applications in treating IL-12-related disorders, such as psoriasis. | 08-16-2012 |
20140079628 | ANTI-TISSUE FACTOR ANTIBODIES AND COMPOSITIONS - Isolated anti-tissue factor antibodies, immunoglobulins, cleavage products and other specified portions and variants thereof having enhanced ADCC activity, as well as anti-tissue factor antibody compositions, encoding or complementary nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, compositions, formulations, devices, transgenic animals, transgenic plants, and methods of making and using thereof. The antibodies of the invention bind human tissue factor and demonstrate enhanced ADCC activity. Accordingly, the antibodies can be used in a variety of methods for diagnosing, treating, and/or preventing diseases involving tissue factor, where enhanced ADCC activity is desirable such as cancer. | 03-20-2014 |
