Patent number: 6642196Abstract: There is provided a method of delivering a benefit agent whereby a benefit agent is first loaded to a surface and subsequently unloaded and transferred and delivered to a second surface. More in particular, the benefit agent is first loaded onto a garment during a laundering process, and subsequently delivered to another surface. The benefit agents can be fragrance agents, perfumes, colour enhancers, fabric softening agents, polymeric lubricants, photoprotective agents, latexes, resins, dye fixative agents, encapsulated materials, antioxidants, insecticides, soil repelling agents, soil release agents, and cellulose fibers.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2000Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Steven Howell, Julie Little, Cornelis Paul Van Der Logt, Neil James Parry

Patent number: 6586384Abstract: A method of delivering a benefit agent to a selected area of a fabric for exerting a predetermined activity, wherein the area is pre-treated with a multi-specific binding molecule which has a high binding affinity to said area through one specificity and is capable of binding to said benefit agent through another specificity, followed by contacting said pre-treated area with said benefit agent, to enhance said pre-determined activity to said area. Preferably, the binding molecule is an antibody or fragment thereof, or a fusion protein comprising a cellulose binding domain and a domain having a high binding affinity to another ligand which is directed to said benefit agent. The method is useful for stain removal, perfume delivery, and treating collars and cuffs for wear.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2000Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Sandra Hemmington, Steven Howell, Julie Little, Cornelis Paul Van Der Logt, Neil James Parry, Richard George Smith

Patent number: 5863765Abstract: Associative portions of antibody light and heavy chains, especially Fv fragments, are expressed in a transformed organism as a single peptide chain connected by a linking peptide. This is cleaved, possibly while peptide synthesis is incomplete, by an enzyme of the transformed organism which is expressing the single peptide. This ensures production of both chains in equal amounts, but produces them as separate chains which are free to associate and fold.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1997Date of Patent: January 26, 1999Assignee: Quest International BVInventors: Mark John Berry, Paul James Davis, Cornelis Paul Van Der Logt, Garry Clark Whitelam
