Abstract: The present invention relates to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) receptor-activating antibody fusion proteins with FcyR-independent agonistic activity, and to compositions and methods related thereto.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof which bind to the human CD70 protein with high affinity and display potent inhibition of tumour cell growth.

Abstract: Subject matter of the invention are antibody-cytokine fusion proteins having proapoptotic and immune modulating properties, but wherein the cytokine moiety a priori has a bioactivity which is very low or restricted to certain receptor subtypes. These reagent exert their full biological activity via the corresponding cytokine receptor(s) only after antibody-mediated binding of the fusion protein to a specific cell membrane-expressed target molecule. By suitable choice of the antibody specificity, the cytokine activity is directed to the tissue, e.g. tumour tissue, to be treated, and a therapeutic agent can be produced being specifically designed/optimised for the respective indication/tumour entity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for producing hydroxynitrile lyases. A process is provided whereby hydroxynitrile lyases may be produced by cultivation in bacteria or suitable host cells. Cells containing a gene encoding for a hydroxynitrile lyase may be precultivated, induced with a low concentration of IPTG, cultured, and lysed. The process allows for the production of relatively large quantities of hydroxynitrile lyases in a dissolved, native, and active form, and without the presence of substantial amounts of inclusion bodies, and thus allowing for the production of the lyases without requiring expensive and time consuming renaturation steps.

Abstract: Selective local activation of members of the TNF receptor family by systemically inactive non-antibody TNF ligand fusion proteins The present invention relates to polypeptides consisting of an effector binding domain and a cell surface molecule binding domain, which are coupled by a peptide linker. The effector domain is a fragment, especially the extracellular domain, of a member of the TNF ligand family (module 1), which as such is biologically inactive or of restricted activity. The cell surface molecule binding domain (module 2) is an amino acid segment that binds selectively to a surface structure of the plasma membrane, preferably to a membrane protein, but is not derived from an immuno-globulin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) for inhibiting the expression of a cellular FLICE-like inhibitory protein (cFLIP) gene, comprising a complementary RNA strand which is substantially identical to at least a part of a cFLIP gene. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the dsRNA together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; methods for inhibiting the expression of a cFLIP gene in a cell, methods for improving the effectiveness of an apoptosis-inducing drug, and methods for treating cancer using the pharmaceutical composition.
