Abstract: A method of preparing anti-b amyloid immunoglobulin involves treating human plasma anti-b amyloid immunoglobulin under alkaline conditions, such as at pH 10.25 to 11.75 using diethylamine HCl, to dissociate b amyloid protein therefrom. Typically, the anti-b amyloid immunoglobulin is present in human immunoglobulin preparations obtained from plasma or serum. Anti-b amyloid immunoglobulin prepared by the method is substantially free of b amyloid protein and has therapeutic activity in compositions and/or methods for treating a disease or condition associated with b amyloid plaques, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: A method for the treatment of a condition which is characterized by CD 123-expressing cells in a patient comprises administering to the patient (i) an antibody or antibody fragment which binds selectively to IL-3R?(CD 123), and (ii) an immunostimulating complex which comprises saponin, a sterol and a phospholipid.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibodies that bind to interleukin-3 receptor alpha chain and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for treating lupus, Sjörgen's syndrome or scleroderma, the method comprising administering to the mammal an immunoglobulin which binds an interleukin 3 receptor ?

Abstract: The present disclosure provides proteins comprising antigen binding domains of antibodies that bind to human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor receptor.

Abstract: The invention encompasses the use of one or more compounds selected from a list comprising i) reduced forms of vitamin K and/or ii) reduced forms of a vitamin K analog and/or iii) reduced forms of a vitamin K precursor for the expression of one or more functional vitamin K-dependent proteins in cell culture as well as processes for the fermentation of eucaryotic cells expressing one or more vitamin K-dependent proteins wherein one or more compounds selected from a list comprising i) reduced forms of vitamin K and/or ii) reduced forms of a vitamin K analog and/or iii) reduced forms of a vitamin K precursor are added to the cell culture medium before and/or during the fermentation process.

Abstract: The present invention provides an antigenic composition, the composition comprising at least one recombinant protein. The recombinant protein comprises at least one epitope. The epitope is reactive with an antibody which is reactive with a polypeptide having the sequence set out in SEQ. ID. NO. 3 or SEQ. ID. NO. 5. The invention also provides methods and compositions for the production of the recombinant protein. Also provided are methods for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of P. gingivalis infection.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the treatment of Ph+ leukemia in a patient comprising administering to the patient (i) a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and (ii) an agent which selectively binds to a cell surface receptor expressed on Ph+ leukemic stem cells.
