| 20100035817 | METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CONJUGATES OF INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR-1 AND POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL) - The present invention relates to a fusion protein comprising IGF-I or an IGF-I variant N-terminally linked to the C-terminus of a propeptide. The invention relates also to a method involving the use of the aforementioned fusion protein in the production of a lysine-PEGylated IGF-I or IGF-I variant. The method comprises the steps of cultivating a prokaryotic host cell comprising an expression vector containing a nucleic acid encoding the fusion protein and causing the cell to express the fusion protein, recovering and PEGylating said fusion protein, cleaving said PEGylated fusion protein with IgA protease, and recovering lysine-PEGylated IGF-I or IGF-I variant. The invention relates also to a lysine-PEGylated IGF-I or IGF-I variant produced using the above method. In addition, the invention relates to a method for treating a neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's Disease using the lysine-PEGylated IGF-I or IGF-I variant and a composition comprising the lysine-PEGylated IGF-I or IGF-I variant. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100080812 | Antibodies against human IL17 and uses thereof - An antibody binding to IL-17 characterized by binding to the same IL-17 epitope to which monoclonal antibody 3C1 binds, and being of human IgG1 isotype modified in the hinge region at amino acid position 216-240, preferably at amino acid position 220-240, between C | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100121036 | METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR-1 - Method for the production of IGF-I, characterized by cultivating a prokaryotic host cell comprising an expression vector containing a nucleic acid encoding a fusion protein comprising said IGF-I N-terminally linked to the C-terminus of a propeptide, whereby said propeptide ends C-terminally with amino acids -Y-Pro, wherein Y is selected from the group consisting of Pro, Pro-Ala, Pro-Gly, Pro-Thr, Ala-Pro, Gly-Pro, Thr-Pro, Arg-Pro, or Pro-Arg-Pro, recovering and cleaving said fusion protein with IgA protease, and recovering said IGF-I. IGF-I is useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's Disease. | 05-13-2010 |
