| 20100104553 | ANTIBODIES AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THEM - The invention provides antibodies, including chimeric human antibodies, recombinant antibodies, synthetic antibodies, and the nucleic acids encoding them, and methods for making and using these immunoglobulins. The invention provides recombinant and synthetic polypeptide and nucleic acid embodiments of these polypeptides and/or antibodies. The invention also provides polypeptides comprising, or consisting of, consensus human framework regions, or “Independently Consensused Frameworks (ICFs)”, nucleic acids encoding them, and libraries and kits comprising these ICFs and/or antibodies of the invention, individually and in combinatorial libraries and combinations. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100136113 | PHYTASES, NUCLEIC ACIDS ENCODING THEM AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THEM - This invention relates to phytases, polynucleotides encoding them, uses of the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the invention, as well as the production and isolation of such polynucleotides and polypeptides. In particular, the invention provides polypeptides having phytase activity under high temperature conditions, and phytases that retain activity after exposure to high temperatures. The phytases of the invention can be thermotolerant and/or thermostable at low temperatures, in addition to higher temperatures. The phytases of the invention can be used in foodstuffs to improve the feeding value of phytate rich ingredients. The phytases of the invention can be formulated as foods or feeds or supplements for either to, e.g., aid in the digestion of phytate. The foods or feeds of the invention can be in the form of pellets, liquids, powders and the like. In one aspect, phytases of the invention are stabile against thermal denaturation during pelleting; and this decreases the cost of the phytase product while maintaining in vivo efficacy and detection of activity in feed. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100138945 | HUMANIZED ANTI-IL-6 ANTIBODIES - The present invention relates to novel chimeric, humanized or CDR-grafted anti-IL-6 antibodies, including isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one such anti-IL-6 antibody, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof, including therapeutic compositions, methods and devices. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100209995 | Amylases, Nucleic Acids Encoding Them and Methods for Making and Using Them - In one aspect, the invention is directed to polypeptides having an amylase activity, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, and methods for making and using these polynucleotides and polypeptides. In one aspect, the polypeptides of the invention can be used as amylases, for example, alpha amylases, to catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100260739 | Mirac Proteins - This disclosure relates to a method of generating conditionally active biologic proteins from wild type proteins, in particular therapeutic proteins, which are reversibly or irreversibly inactivated at the wild type normal physiological conditions. For example, evolved proteins are virtually inactive at body temperature, but are active at lower temperatures. | 10-14-2010 |
