  • Patent number: 11986807
    Abstract: Catalyst composition which comprises a first zeolite having a BEA* framework type and a second zeolite having a MOR framework type and a mesopore surface area of greater than 30 m2/g is disclosed. These catalyst compositions are used to remove catalyst poisons from untreated feed streams having one or more impurities which cause deactivation of the downstream catalysts employed in hydrocarbon conversion processes, such as those that produce mono-alkylated aromatic compounds.

  • Publication number: 20240124582
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the anti-LAG-3 antibodies, LAG-3 mAb 1, LAG-3 mAb 2, LAG-3 mAb 4, LAG-3 mAb 5, and LAG-3 mAb 6, and to humanized and chimeric versions of such antibodies. The invention additionally pertains to LAG-3-binding molecules that comprise LAG-3 binding fragments of such anti-LAG-3 antibodies, immunocongugates, and to bispecific molecules, including diabodies, BiTEs, bispecific antibodies, etc., that comprise (i) such LAG-3-binding fragments, and (ii) a domain capable of binding an epitope of a molecule involved in regulating an immune check point present on the surface of an immune cells. The present invention also pertains to methods of detecting LAG-3, as well as methods of using molecules that bind LAG-3 for stimulating immune responses.

  • Publication number: 20240084015
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to bispecific molecules (e.g., diabodies, bispecific antibodies, trivalent binding molecules, etc.) that possess at least one epitope-binding site that is immunospecific for an epitope of PD-1 and at least one epitope-binding site that is immunospecific for an epitope of CTLA-4 (i.e., a “PD-1×CTLA-4 bispecific molecule”). The PD-1×CTLA-4 bispecific molecules of the present invention are capable of simultaneously binding to PD-1 and to CTLA-4, particularly as such molecules are arrayed on the surfaces of human cells. The invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions that contain such PD-1×CTLA-4 bispecific molecules, and to methods involving the use of such bispecific molecules in the treatment of cancer and other diseases and conditions. The present invention also pertains to methods of using such PD-1×CTLA-4 bispecific molecules to stimulate an immune response.

  • Patent number: 11849693
    Abstract: Herein provided are new corn varieties designated ‘164-005>1’ and ‘164-005>2’, as well as the seeds, plants, plant parts, and derivatives of the new corn varieties ‘164-005>1’ and ‘164-005>2’. Also provided are tissue cultures of the new corn varieties ‘164-005>1’ and ‘164-005>2’ and the plants regenerated therefrom. Methods for producing corn plants by crossing new corn variety ‘164-005>1’ with itself or another corn variety and plants produced by such methods are also provided. Methods for producing corn plants by crossing new corn variety ‘164-005>2’ with itself or another corn variety and plants produced by such methods are also provided. Hybrids of ‘164-005>1’ and hybrids of ‘164-005>1’ show higher yields and lower harvest moistures than comparable hybrids of similar relative maturity. Both inbred ‘164-005>1’ and inbred ‘164-005>2’ have broad general combining abilities with a diverse set of non-Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic (BSSS) inbreds.
