  • Publication number: 20240044912
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides means such as uses, nanoparticles, solutions, methods, kits and systems for screening target proteins for self-association properties (viscosity and opalescence) in ultra-dilute solutions. They provide means for screening a large number of target proteins at orders of magnitude lower concentrations than end-use formulations.

  • Patent number: 10570397
    Abstract: The invention relates a method for producing a stable recombinant protein, comprising growing a non-naturally occurring host cell in a culture medium to produce a recombinant protein, and making a composition comprising the recombinant protein and a polysorbate. The production of endogenous lipoprotein lipase by the host cell is reduced. The endogenous lipoprotein lipase is present in the composition in a small amount, and is capable of degrading the polysorbate. The invention also relates to the relevant host cells and compositions, and preparation thereof.

  • Publication number: 20040157796
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a liquid carrier, valdecoxib and cyclodextrin derivative in an amount of at least about 5%, w/v, of the composition. The valdecoxib is in solubilized form and, at room temperature, the ratio of valdecoxib concentration to cyclodextrin concentration is greater than is achievable in a substantially similar solution but which comprises less than 5%, w/v, of said cyclodextrin derivative.
