Abstract: This invention relates to transgenically produced human Antithrombin III (tgATIII). The human ATIII produced by the transgenic process of the present invention has a monosaccharide composition which comprises N-acetylgalactosamine (GaINAc) along with fucose, N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, mannose, and N-acetylneuraminic acid/N-glycolyneuraminic acid. The monosaccharide composition differs with that of plasma derived ATIII (phATIII). It has been found that tgATIII has an increased clearance rate when compared to phATIII.

Abstract: Heat transfer between a body and its surrounding fluidous environment is reduced by placing at least one baffle-insulator adjacent to the body, such that the baffle-insulator which has a thermal conductivity of less than about 5 watts/meter-.degree.K, disturbs, modifies, and/or weakens fluidous environment flow about the body, thus reducing heat transfer between the body and its environment.
Abstract: A substantially pure nucleic acid comprising a sequence encoding a pp60.sup.PIK peptide and methods of using nucleic acid encoding pp60.sup.PIK to make pp60.sup.PIK polypeptide.
Abstract: KS-laminin and a KS-laminin-kalinin adduct are disclosed. The molecules of the invention are useful for promoting the adhesion of keratinocytes to a substrate.
