| 20110217448 | METHOD FOR PREPARATION OF A CONTROLLED RELEASE SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a controlled release system and especially to a method for entrapment of compounds in polymer carriers for controlled release of active ingredients, preferably bioactive ingredients, such as drugs. This method results in a system for controlled release of active ingredients and especially for controlled drug delivery. In accordance with the present invention, the tem controlled release ” encompasses all kinds of controlled release, including slow release, sustained and delayed release. Particularly, the present invention results in active ingredients, entrapped in or otherwise incorporated in or coupled to polymer carriers or polymeric devices, such as micelles, nanoparticles, microspheres and other types of polymer devices for controlled release; the active ingredients are covalently bonded to the polymer carriers or polymeric devices. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110020837 | Method for isolating or identifying a target protein interacting with a lipid in a cell - The invention is in the field of molecular biology and cell biology. It provides tools and methods for studying the interaction of proteins and lipids in vivo as well as in vitro. The invention relates to a method for isolating or identifying a target protein interacting with a lipid in a cell. This method employs novel dual-labeled lipid precursors such as fatty acids or their derivatives. These lipid precurors comprise two functional groups: a photoactivatable group, such as a diazirine ring, as well as a terminal alkyne or azide moiety. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20100323905 | Vhh for the Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of Diseases Associated with Protein Aggregates - The present invention provides heavy chain variable domain antibodies (VHH) for preventing and/or dissolving aggregates. VHH of the invention are preferably used in the treatment of human diseases that are associated with the formation of aggregates in the body. The invention further provides, among others, means and methods for selecting and using VHH. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100311098 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE AMINO ACID SEQUENCE OF PEPTIDES - The invention is in the field of analytical methods suitable for biochemical applications and provides a method for determining the amino acid sequence of a peptide. The determination of amino acid sequences of proteins and peptides is useful in the study of biological systems. The invention relates to a method for determining at least part of the amino acid sequence of a protein comprising the steps of cleaving the protein into proteolytic peptides, ionizing the proteolytic peptides to generate peptide precursor ions, dissociating these peptide precursor ions using tandem mass spectrometry in order to obtain peptide fragment ions, followed by determining the amino acid sequence of a selected proteolytic peptide wherein the cleaving step generates at least one proteolytic peptide with an N-terminal lysine residue and wherein the dissociation of the peptide precursor ions is initiated by electron transfer. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100143452 | POLYPHENOL CONTAINING COMPOSITIONS - The present invention relates to liposomal compositions comprising polyphenol in the interior of a colloidal carrier, and especially to the use of such compositions in the treatment of cancer or in the inhibition of cancer growth and in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for targeting a polyphenol to tumor tissue, or to sites in the body requiring anti-inflammatory activity or activity against autoimmune conditions. Furthermore, the present invention describes a method of post-loading a polyphenol derivate such as caffeic acid into a liposome. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20090191236 | PIROPLASMID VACCINE - The invention relates to a Piroplasmid protein or an immunogenic fragment of said protein, and to a nucleic acid encoding said Piroplasmid protein or said immunogenic fragment. Furthermore, the invention relates to cDNA fragments, recombinant DNA molecules and live recombinant carriers comprising said nucleic acid. Also the invention relates to host cells comprising said cDNA fragments, recombinant DNA molecules and live recombinant carriers. Finally, the invention relates to vaccines comprising a Piroplasmid protein or an immunogenic fragment of said protein, to methods for the preparation of such vaccines, to the use of such proteins or fragments for vaccine purposes, and to diagnostic tests. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090170703 | Disease Resistant Plants - The present invention relates to a plant, which is resistant to a pathogen of viral, bacterial, fungal or oomycete origin, wherein the plant has an increased homoserine level as compared to a plant that is not resistant to the said pathogen, in particular organisms of the phylum Oomycota. The invention further relates to a method for obtaining a plant, which is resistant to a pathogen of viral, bacterial, fungal or oomycete origin, comprising increasing the endogenous homoserine level in the plant. | 07-02-2009 |
