Abstract: Methods of enhancing efficiency of downstream chromatography steps for purification of proteins comprising: (a) passing a composition comprising a polypeptide of interest and various contaminants through an ion exchange membrane, wherein the polypeptide and the membrane have opposite charge, at operating conditions comprised of a buffer having a pH sufficiently distinct from the pi of the polypeptide to enhance the charge of the polypeptide and a low ionic strength effective to prevent the shielding of charges by buffer ions, which cause the membrane to bind the polypeptide and at least one contaminant, (b) overloading the ion exchange membrane such that at least one contaminant remains bound to the membrane while the polypeptide of interest is primarily in the effluent; (c) collecting the effluent from the ion exchange membrane comprising the polypeptide of interest; (d) subjecting the membrane effluent comprising the polypeptide of interest to a purification step of similar charge as the previous membrane,

Abstract: The invention relates to a new process for the purification of oligonucleotides which comprises the removal of the acid labile 5?hydroxy protecting group at the 5?-O-oligonucleotide terminus of the oligonucleotide by way of tangential flow filtration with an acidic buffer solution. The process requires less steps and allows a higher degree of automation.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for the efficient production of antibodies and other multimeric protein complexes (collectively referred to herein as heteromultimeric proteins) capable of specifically binding to more than one target. The targets may be, for example, different epitopes located on a single molecule or located on different molecules.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and kits for treating or preventing an allergic reaction to a food allergen consumed by a human subject with one or more food allergies. In particular, the present disclosure provides prophylactic therapies comprising administration of an anti-IgE antibody at a specific dose to a human subject who is allergic to one or more food allergens.

Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-FcRH5 antibodies, including anti-FcRH5 antibodies comprising an FcRH5 binding domain and a CD3 binding domain (e.g., FcRH5 T cell-dependent bispecific (TDB) antibodies), and methods of using the same.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for segmenting objects within medical images using a deep learning network that is localized with object detection based on a derived contrast mechanism. Particularly, aspects are directed to localizing an object of interest within a first medical image having a first characteristic, projecting a bounding box or segmentation mask of the object of interest onto a second medical image having a second characteristic to define a portion of the second medical image, and inputting the portion of the second medical image into a deep learning model that is constructed as a detector using a weighted loss function capable of segmenting the portion of the second medical image and generating a segmentation boundary around the object of interest. The segmentation boundary may be used to calculate a volume of the object of interest for determining a diagnosis and/or a prognosis of a subject.

Abstract: Cysteine engineered antibodies comprising a free cysteine amino acid in the heavy chain or light chain are prepared by mutagenizing a nucleic acid sequence of a parent antibody and replacing one or more amino acid residues by cysteine to encode the cysteine engineered antibody; expressing the cysteine engineered antibody; and isolating the cysteine engineered antibody. Certain highly reactive cysteine engineered antibodies were identified by the PHESELECTOR assay. Isolated cysteine engineered antibodies may be covalently attached to a capture label, a detection label, a drug moiety, or a solid support.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly concentrated, stable pharmaceutical formulation of a pharmaceutically active anti-HER2 antibody, such as e.g. Trastuzumab (HERCEPTIN™), Pertuzumab or T-DM1, or a mixture of such antibody molecules for subcutaneous injection. In particular, the present invention relates to formulations comprising, in addition to a suitable amount of the anti-HER2 antibody, an effective amount of at least one hyaluronidase enzyme as a combined formulation or for use in form of a co-formulation. The formulations comprise additionally at least one buffering agent, such as e.g. a histidine buffer, a stabilizer or a mixture of two or more stabilizers (e.g. a saccharide, such as e.g. ?,?-trehalose dihydrate or sucrose, and optionally methionine as a second stabilizer), a nonionic surfactant and an effective amount of at least one hyaluronidase enzyme. Methods for preparing such formulations and their uses thereof are also provided.
