20080219994MODIFIED BOUGANIN PROTEINS, CYTOTOXINS AND METHODS AND USES THEREOF - The invention provides modified forms of bouganin protein having biological activity and a reduced propensity to activate human T cells as compared to the non-modified bouganin protein. The invention also provides T-cell epitope peptides of bouganin, and modified T-cell epitope peptides of bouganin which have a reduced propensity to activate human T cells as compared to the non-modified T-cell epitope peptide. The invention also provides cytotoxins having the having a ligand that binds to a cancer cells attached to the modified bouganin proteins. Also provided are methods of inhibiting or destroying mammalian cancer cells using the cytotoxins of the invention and pharmaceutical compositions for treating human cancer.09-11-2008
20100104569HUMANIZED ANTIBODIES TO INTERFERON ALPHA RECEPTOR-1 (IFNAR-1) - Humanized monoclonal antibodies which bind to IFNAR-1, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the humanized antibodies and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the humanized antibodies.04-29-2010

Francis J. Carr, Aberdeen GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090092546Carrier molecules - The present invention relates generally to carrier molecules derived from one animal or avian species or strains and which are substantially non-immunogenic when exposed to an immune system from a species or strain of another animal or avian creature. More particularly, the present invention provides deimmunized immunointeractive molecules and even more particular deimmunized antibodies for use in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.04-09-2009
20090221024T CELL ASSAYS - The present invention relates to novel T cell assay methods, in particular where T cell responses to test antigens are increased by removal of regulatory T cells. Novel assays where the timing of incubation with antigens or other samples is varied in order to optimize detection of T cell responses are described. The invention has particular application for measurement of human T cell responses to pharmaceuticals, allergens, irritants or other substances.09-03-2009
20100286375Carrier molecules - The present invention relates generally to carrier molecules derived from one animal or avian species or strains and which are substantially non-immunogenic when exposed to an immune system from a species or strain of another animal or avian creature. More particularly, the present invention provides deimmunized immunointeractive molecules and even more particular deimmunized antibodies for use in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.11-11-2010

20080248529MODIFIED ANTI-CD52 ANTIBODY - The present invention provides for modified forms of anti-CD52 antibodies with reduced numbers of potential T-cell epitopes that are expected to display decreased immunogenicity.10-09-2008
20090043076Modified interferon beta with reduced immunogenicity - The present invention relates a modified human interferon beta (INFβ) which is less immunogenic than human INFβ (SEQ ID NO: 1) when administered in vivo to a human. The modified human INFβ comprises an amino acid residue sequence that differs from SEQ ID NO: 1 by an amino acid residue substitution selected from the group consisting of L57A, L57C, L57D L57E, L57G, L57H, L57K, L57N, L57P, L57Q, L57R, L57S, and L57T and an additional substitution selected from the group consisting of the H140A, H140C, H140G, and H140P.02-12-2009
