20100273669 | METHOD FOR SELECTING A PEPTIDE OR POLYPEPTIDE WHICH BINDS TO A TARGET - A method for selecting a peptide or polypeptide which binds to a target is provided. The method is based on protein splicing and phage display. | 10-28-2010 |
20090318308 | HIGHLY DIVERSIFIED ANTIBODY LIBRARIES - The present invention provides an in vitro method for obtaining a library of polynucleotides encoding antibodies, derivatives thereof or fragments thereof, comprising the step of performing random mutagenesis of a polynucleotide encoding the variable region of a heavy chain and/or the variable region of a light chain of a light chain, wherein random mutagenesis is performed on a library of polynucleotides comprising a sequence encoding the variable region of a heavy chain and/or the variable region of a light chain; and wherein the random mutagenesis process creates randomly distributed mutations along at least 70% of the sequence encoding the variable region. | 12-24-2009 |
20090305343 | Method For Expressing Polypeptides In Eukaryotic Cells Using Alternative Splicing - This invention relates to an expression cassette for expressing polypeptides in eukaryotic cells using alternative splicing. The expression cassette comprises in 5′ to 3′ downstream direction: a promoter; a sequence transcribed in a 5′ untranslated region (5′UTR); a donor splice site; an intron; a first acceptor splice site; a first cistron encoding a first polypeptide; a second acceptor splice site; a second cistron encoding a second polypeptide; an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) operably linked to a selection marker; and a sequence transcribed in a 3″ untranslated region (3′UTR) including a polyadenylation signal, wherein the polyadenylation signal is unique. | 12-10-2009 |
20090105089 | METHOD FOR DETECTING INTRACYTOPLASMIC PROTEIN/PROTEIN INTERACTIONS - The present invention provides a versatile and sensitive method for studying interaction of two peptides or polypeptides A and B within the cytoplasm of a host cell. The method is based on the use of two distinct chimeric polypeptides. The first chimeric polypeptide containing an aggregation domain fused to a polypeptide A and the second one containing a phenotype-associated functional domain fused to a second polypeptide B. When these chimeric polypeptides are co-expressed within a host cell allowing aggregation of the aggregation domain, the phenotype of the host cell depends on the entrapment of the phenotype-associated functional domain which only occurs when A and B interact with each other. | 04-23-2009 |
