Abstract: Disclosed are methods relating to amplification and expression of a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide of interest in recombinant cells, and cell lines and polypeptides produced from such methods. The methods disclosed herein permit the amplification of cell lines that express a polypeptide of interest in a relatively short period of time through the use of a bioreactor.
Abstract: The present invention provides isolated anti-interferon alpha monoclonal antibodies, particularly human monoclonal antibodies, that inhibit the biological activity of multiple interferon (IFN) alpha subtypes but do not substantially inhibit the biological activity of IFN alpha 21 or the biological activity of either IFN beta or IFN omega. Immunoconjugates, bispecific molecules and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies of the invention are also provided. The invention also provides methods for inhibiting the biological activity of IFN alpha using the antibodies of the invention, as well as methods of treating disease or disorders mediated by IFN alpha, such as autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection and graft versus host disease, by administering the antibodies of the invention.
