| 20120178110 | SCREENING OF PROTEIN CANDIDATES - Successful application of an engineered protein as therapeutics or in other industries would require the protein to have good expression level, good biophysical properties and often desired affinity to its target. The present invention provides a method of screening large numbers of protein candidates (PCs) in all three aspects simultaneously. PCs are fused to a protein anchor, which is captured by the target/antigen. The captured PCs are evaluated for their expression levels, biophysical properties and affinities using conventional methods. | 07-12-2012 |
| 20120045391 | Formulations Targeting IGFBP7 for Diagnosis and Therapy of Cancer - The invention relates to antibodies or fragments thereof specific for insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7). A method of raising anti-IGFBP7 single domain antibodies is also disclosed and specific antibody clones are described, along with their binding characteristics. The anti-IGFBP7 antibodies may be useful as diagnostic tools for detecting neoplastic diseases involving tumor angiogenesis, and a variety of other angiogenesis associated diseases. | 02-23-2012 |
