METHOD OF PRODUCING BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE VITAMIN K DEPENDENT PROTEINS BY RECOMBINANT METHODS
The invention relates to commercially viable methods for producing biologically active vitamin K dependent proteins, particularly Factor IX. Factor IX is produced at a level of at least about 15 mg/L and is at least 25% biologically active. The method relies upon co-expression of one or more of paired basic amino acid converting enzyme (PACE), vitamin K dependent epoxide reductase (VKOR) and vitamin K dependent γ-glutamyl carboxylase (VKGC) at a preferred ratio so that the vitamin K dependent protein is efficiently produced and processed by a recombinant cell.
SHORT-ACTING FACTOR VII POLYPEPTIDES
Short-acting Factor VII peptides are disclosed. A shortened half-life is desirable for treatment of acute bleeding and similar disorders. Modification of the sialylation and/or glycosylation of Factor VII and variants thereof produced peptides useful in treating conditions of acute bleeding.
METHODS OF TREATING NEUTORPENIA USING G-CSF PROTEIN COMPLEX
This disclosure provides a method of preventing, alleviating or treating a condition (i.e., neutropenia) in a subject in need thereof, the condition characterized by compromised white blood cell production in the subject. The method includes administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a protein complex on the same day as a chemotherapy regimen, wherein the protein complex is a modified human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) covalently linked to an immunoglobulin Fc region via a non-peptidyl polymer. The non-peptidyl polymer is site-specifically linked to an N-terminus of the immunoglobulin Fc region, and the modified hG-CSF comprises substitutions in at least one of Cys17 and Pro65.
177-LU LABELED ACTIVE SITE INHIBITED FACTOR VII
There is provided a 177-Lu labelled peptide for site-specific targeting of TF thereby enabling treatment of a cancer disease associated with high TF expression; e.g. treatment of cancer by administering to a patient an effective amount of the 177-Lu labelled peptide.
IMMUNOGLOBULIN CHIMERIC MONOMER-DIMER HYBRIDS
The invention relates to a chimeric monomer-dimer hybrid protein wherein the protein comprises a first and a second polypeptide chain, the first polypeptide chain comprising at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region and a biologically active molecule, and the second polypeptide chain comprising at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region without the biologically active molecule of the first chain. The invention also relates to methods of using and methods of making the chimeric monomer-dimer hybrid protein of the invention.
Peptides that inhibit binding of EPCR to its ligand to treat inflammation
An isolated peptide of up to 6 amino acids comprising an amino acid sequence which inhibits binding of an endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) ligand to the EPCR is disclosed. Also disclosed is an isolated peptide comprising an amino acid sequence which inhibits binding of an endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) ligand to the EPCR, wherein the peptide comprises a modification in at least one amino acid. Also disclosed is a molecule comprising an amino acid sequence which inhibits binding of an endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) ligand to the EPCR attached to a heterologous moiety. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment are also disclosed.
MEANS AND METHODS FOR MODIFYING MULTIPLE ALLELES
The present invention relates to a method of modifying at least one gene in a cell via CRISPR/Cas, wherein the at least one gene has at least three alleles. The present invention further relates to cells obtainable by the method of the invention. Additionally, the present invention provides a method of producing a protein in a cell obtainable by the method of modifying at least one gene of the invention. Moreover, the invention relates to proteins obtainable by the method of producing a protein and use thereof, for example in therapy.
INTER-APPLICATION WORKFLOW PERFORMANCE ANALYTICS
Methods, systems and computer program products for shared content management systems that provide performance analytics pertaining to a project. Embodiments include establishing one or more network communication links between a content management system that manages a plurality of shared content objects and a plurality of applications that cause modifications to the shared content objects in accordance with workflows of the project. Iteraction events that correspond to modifications over the shared content objects are recorded such that interaction events associated with the plurality of applications are selected based at least in part on attributes associated with the interaction events. Relationships between the recorded interaction events such as time durations between certain of the interaction events are calculated. Project performance measurements are generated based on the calculations and/or based on other relationships between the interaction events. The calculations may span across many different applications and/or many different departments and/or many different enterprises.
Immunoglobulin chimeric monomer-dimer hybrids
The invention relates to a chimeric monomer-dimer hybrid protein wherein the protein comprises a first and a second polypeptide chain, the first polypeptide chain comprising at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region and a biologically active molecule, and the second polypeptide chain comprising at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region without the biologically active molecule of the first chain. The invention also relates to methods of using and methods of making the chimeric monomer-dimer hybrid protein of the invention.
ANTI-GPIIB/IIIA ANTIBODIES OR USES THEREOF
The present invention provides antibodies and antigen-binding molecules thereof which specifically bind the α and/or β subunits of the non-active form of the GPIIb/IIIIa receptor. The antibodies and antigen-binding molecules can be genetically fused and/or conjugated to heterologous moieties and used, for example, as targeting moieties. The invention also includes methods for screening for these antibodies, as well as methods of making and methods of using chimeric molecules derived from the antibodies.
