Furthermore, the invention provides the use of a protein for the specific recognition, binding and neutralization of a predescribed target molecule, for the detection, quantitative determination, separation and/or for the isolation of a corresponding binding partner and the use of a protein of the invention, for diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment of diseases in which the corresponding binding partner is directly or indirectly involved. | 05-27-2010 |
20110059093 | USE OF AN ANTI-TAU PS422 ANTIBODY FOR THE TREATMENT OF BRAIN DISEASES - An antibody binding to Tau that is phosphorylated at serine 422 (pS422), which specifically binds to phosphorylated Tau fragment of SEQ ID NO:9 and to Tau pS422, but does not bind to Tau and to phosphorylated MCAK fragment of SEQ ID NO:17. The antibody is useful in the treatment of a Tauopathy. | 03-10-2011 |
20110160436 | METHOD TO SCREEN HIGH AFFINITY ANTIBODY - The current invention reports a method for producing an antibody comprising the steps of a) providing a plurality of hybridoma cells each expressing an antibody, b) determining the time dependent amount of said antibody bound to the respective antigen by surface plasmon resonance at different temperatures and different antibody concentrations, c) calculating with the time dependent amount determined in b) based on equations (II) to (XIII) at least the thermodynamic parameters (i) standard association binding entropy formula (A), (ii) standard dissociation binding entropy formula (B), (iii) standard binding entropy (ΔS°), (iv) free standard binding enthalpy (ΔG°), (v) standard dissociation free binding enthalpy formula (C), (vi) standard association free binding enthalpy formula (D), (vii) −TΔS°, (viii) dissociation rate constant k | 06-30-2011 |
20120156726 | VELOCITY FACTOR - The current invention is directed to the velocity factor. Based on the velocity factor antibodies can be classified, i.e. antibodies can be characterized on their binding properties as e.g. entropic or enthalpic antigen binder. A velocity factor based classification does not require detailed thermodynamic determinations and/or calculations. The velocity factor is the ratio of the antigen-antibody complex association rate constants ka determined at 37° C. and 13° C. As only two experimental determinations are required to calculate the velocity factor this is a fast and high-throughput suited method. | 06-21-2012 |

Also disclosed are methods of producing such binding agent and certain uses thereof. | 10-31-2013 |
20130344094 | POLYPEPTIDE-POLYNUCLEOTIDE-COMPLEX AND ITS USE IN TARGETED EFFECTOR MOIETY DELIVERY - Herein is reported a polypeptide-polynucleotide-complex as therapeutic agent and its use as tool for the targeted delivery of an effector moiety. The polynucleotide part of the complex is essentially resistant to proteolytic and enzymatic degradation in vivo. Additionally the polypeptide part specifically binds to a compound or structure such as a tissue or organ, a process or a disease. Thus, one aspect as reported herein is a polypeptide-polynucleotide-complex comprising a) a polypeptide specifically binding to a target and conjugated to a first member of a binding pair, b) a polynucleotide linker conjugated at its first terminus to the second member of the binding pair, and c) an effector moiety conjugated to a polynucleotide that is complementary to at least a part of the polynucleotide linker. | 12-26-2013 |
