Abstract: The invention concerns a method for obtaining and selecting monoclonal antibodies by an ADDC-type test, said antibodies capable of activating type III Fc? receptors and having a particular glycan structure. The inventive anti-D antibodies can be used for preventing Rhesus isoimmunization in Rh negative persons, in particular for haemolytic disease in a new-born baby or for uses such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).

Abstract: A method for purifying or detecting a target protein present in a solution, includes, before carrying out the actual detection or purification step, a step of contacting the solution with an aptamer binding specifically to the target protein, where the aptamer does not bind to a protein homologous to the target protein that could also be present in the solution.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for measuring the activated factor VII level in a sample to be tested, including the steps of: a) mixing the test sample with a plasma free of factor VII (FVII) and free of at least another factor selected from among factor VIII (FVIII), factor IX (FIX), and factor XI (FXI), the test sample+plasma having a final FVII+FVIIa concentration of 10 pM to 80 pM; b) adding initiating components from the thrombin generation reaction; c) obtaining a thrombogram when carrying out a thrombin generation test (TGT) on the mixture from step b); d) comparing at least one of the thrombogram parameters from step c) with a homologous parameter obtained from standard thrombograms established on the basis of standard samples, the activated factor VII level of which is known and varies with each standard sample; e) deducing, from step d), an activated factor VII level measurement in the test sample.
