  • Patent number: 10060917
    Abstract: A device (1) for use in the detection of binding affinities comprises a planar waveguide (2) arranged on a substrate (22). The waveguide (2) has an outer surface (21) and a plurality of incoupling lines (31) for coupling a beam of coherent light into the waveguide (2) such that a parallel beam of coherent light (62) propagates along the waveguide (2). The incoupling lines (31) are curved and have an increasing distance between adjacent incoupling lines (31). A divergent beam of coherent light (61) of a predetermined wavelength is coupled into the waveguide (2) such that it propagates along the waveguide (2). A plurality of binding sites (51) is attached to the outer surface (21) along at least one further plurality of diffraction lines arranged in an outcoupling section of the waveguide (2). These diffraction lines comprise a plurality of curved outcoupling lines (41) having a decreasing distance between adjacent outcoupling lines.

  • Patent number: 10047162
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for reducing the aggregation of an immunoglobulin in solution comprising the steps of i) comparing the amino acid sequence of the fourth framework region of the heavy chain of an antibody with a reference or germline sequence and determining whether one or more threonine residues and/or serine residues have been replaced by a different amino acid residue, and ii) modifying the amino acid sequence of the immunoglobulin by reverting the exchanged threonine residues and/or serine residues back to threonine or serine of the reference or germline sequence and thereby reducing the aggregation of an immunoglobulin in solution.
