| 20090089171 | METHOD FOR USING ENVIRONMENTAL CLASSIFICATION TO ASSIST IN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND SERVICES - Managing risks of crop production can be performed by understanding the relative performance of different agricultural inputs under the same or similar environmental conditions. In addition, managing of crop production risks can be performed by understanding variations in the performance of the same agricultural inputs over a range of environmental conditions. By being able to describe and understand these variations in performance, decisions can be made which are consistent with overall business and/or production objectives and limit risk associated with variations in environmental conditions. In addition to producers there are other stakeholders in the crop production process, such as financial institutions, insurance providers, users of crops produced, and input suppliers. These and other stakeholders can provide financial incentives to producers for managing crop production risks through use of environmental classification and/or genotype-by-environment information. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20090208515 | VACCINE COMPOSITION - The present invention relates to virus vectors comprising oligonucleotides encoding HIV polypeptides, more particularly wherein the virus vector is an adenovirus. In particular, such adenoviruses are non-human primate adenoviruses such as simian adenoviruses, more particularly chimpanzee adenoviruses. In particular the invention relates to adenovirus vectors which comprise HIV polynucleotide sequences which encode multiple different HIV antigens, for example two or three or more HIV antigens. The invention further relates to methods of preparing the virus vectors, to the virus vectors produced by the methods and to the use of the vectors in medicine especially prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090274726 | SYNTHETIC GENE - The present invention relates to synthetic genes, processes for designing said synthetic genes and their uses in gene therapy and improved DNA vaccination. The novel synthetic genes and processes are codon shuffled so that they have reduced homology relative to a naturally occurring gene encoding the same protein without altering the overall codon usage frequency of the gene. In particular the present invention relates to improved polynucleotides and methods for the treatment or prevention of disease comprising codon-shuffled GM-CSF nucleic acid sequences. Nucleic acid vaccines of the present invention may comprise a combination of a nucleotide sequence encoding codon-shuffled GM-CSF, a nucleotide encoding an antigen against which it is desired to raise an immune response and a toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20120076787 | COMBINATION OF A TNF-ALPHA ANTAGONIST AND A VEGF ANTAGONIST FOR USE IN THE TREATMENT OR PREVENTION OF DISEASES OF THE EYE - The invention relates to combinations of TNFα antagonists with VEGF antagonists for use in treating diseases of the eye, and provides antigen-binding proteins which bind to TNFα or a TNFα receptor and/or VEGF or a VEGF receptor. | 03-29-2012 |
