Abstract: The invention describes a method for isolating one or more genetic elements encoding a gene product having a desired activity, comprising the steps of: (a) compartmentalising genetic elements into microcapsules; (b) expressing the genetic elements to produce their respective gene products within the microcapsules; (c) sorting the genetic elements which produce the gene product having the desired activity using a change in the optical properties of the genetic elements. The invention enables the in vitro evolution of nucleic acids and proteins by repeated mutagenesis and iterative applications of the method of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to TNFR1 binding proteins, in particular those which are capable of preventing dimerisation of TNFR1 chains, and to their use in therapy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to molecules that can be targeted to the liver. These liver targeting molecules (e.g.fusions and conjugates) comprise proteins, antibodies or antibody fragments such as immunoglobulin (antibody) single variable domains (dAbs) and also one or more additional molecules which it is desired to deliver to the liver such as interferons. The invention further relates to uses, formulations, compositions and devices comprising such liver targeting molecules. The invention also relates to immunoglobulin (antibody) single variable domains which bind to hepatocytes.
