  • Publication number: 20250163102
    Abstract: The present application relates to systems and methods for purifying polypeptides, such as His-tagged polypeptides, using immobilized metal chelate affinity chromatography (IMAC). The method includes loading a composition comprising the polypeptide onto a IMAC matrix; eluting the polypeptide from the first IMAC matrix; conducting a buffer exchange to remove the elution buffer from the first eluate; loading the first eluate from the buffer exchange onto a second IMAC matrix; eluting the polypeptide from the second IMAC matrix; and optionally purifying the eluate from the second IMAC matrix using size exclusion chromatography. In some aspects, the method is fully automated.

  • Patent number: 12299890
    Abstract: Medical image(s) are input into a detection network to generate mask(s) identifying a set of regions within the medical image(s), where the detection network predicts that each region identified in the mask(s) includes a depiction of a tumor of one or more tumors within the subject. For each region, the region of the medical image(s) is processed using a tumor segmentation network to generate one or more tumor segmentation boundaries for the tumor present within the subject. For each tumor and by using a plurality of organ-specific segmentation networks, an organ is determined within which at least part of the tumor is located. An output is generated based on the one or more tumor segmentation boundaries and locations of the organs within which at least part of the one or more tumors are located.

  • Patent number: 12291712
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and host cells for producing a polypeptide containing two chains, such as an antibody, half-antibody, antibody fragment, or one-armed antibody. The methods and host cells allow for two-chain polypeptide production using expression of polynucleotides encoding the polypeptide chains from extra-chromosomal polynucleotide(s), and expression of one or more chaperone protein(s) (e.g., peptidyl-prolyl isomerases and/or protein disulfide oxidoreductases) from the host cell chromosome using non-native combination(s) of promoters and translational units encoding a chaperone protein.

  • Patent number: 12283365
    Abstract: Particular embodiments provide a method for anomaly detection in images of tissue. An image processing system may receive an image of a tissue sample. A set of tiles may be generated from the image of the tissue sample. The set of tiles may be input into an anomaly detection model comprising a generator model comprising functional skip-connections and a Markovian discriminator model. The anomaly detection model may be trained to isolate a feature space of normal tissue samples. Anomaly scores may be computed for the set of tiles, and an assessment may be generated for the image of the tissue sample based on the anomaly scores for the set of tiles. The assessment may include a reconstructed heatmap of the image of the tissue sample, wherein colors of the heatmap are selected based on the anomaly scores.
