  • Patent number: 7736650
    Abstract: Antibody expression vectors and plasmids can incorporate various antibody gene portions for transcription of the antibody DNA and expression of the antibody in an appropriate host cell. The expression vectors and plasmids have restriction enzyme sites that facilitate ligation of antibody-encoding DNA into the vectors. The vectors incorporate enhancer and promoter sequences that can be varied to interact with transcription factors in the host cell and thereby control transcription of the antibody-encoding DNA. A kit can incorporate these vectors and plasmids.

  • Patent number: 7247711
    Abstract: Novel anti-IL-23p40 specific human Ig derived proteins, including, without limitation, antibodies, fusion proteins, and mimetibodies, isolated nucleic acids that encode the anti-IL-23p40 Ig derived proteins, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof, are useful for therapeutic compositions, methods and devices. Preferably, the anti-IL-23p40 specific human Ig derived proteins do not bind the p40 subunit of IL-12 and, thus, do not neutralize IL-12-related activity.

  • Patent number: 6688047
    Abstract: An apparatus for retaining and controlling the size of pieces of snow and/or ice accumulating on a roof contains brackets secured to the roof and rails passed between the brackets to form a frame structure. The brackets have slots and/or pockets for fitting rails and enable the rails to be at or below the level of seams on seamed roofs and at a low profile with non-seamed roofs. In addition, the brackets may be attached to the roof without penetrating the roof structure. A method of installing a snow and/or ice retaining apparatus includes lowering the rails into pockets on the brackets, sliding the rails into slots on the brackets, and, optionally, securing the rails with a clip, wedge, or adhesive.
