Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of genetic markers to identify the response to growth hormone treatment in Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) or Turner Syndrome (TS) patients as well as a method of treating GHD or TS patients and kits for genotyping.
Abstract: This invention relates to industrial production of proteins. More specifically, the invention relates to the res-DHFR surrogate marker, which corresponds to a fusion between DHFR and a protein conferring resistance to a toxic compound or conferring a metabolic advantage. The invention further relates to the use of res-DHFR for screening cells for high expression of a protein of interest. The invention is illustrated by the Puro-DHFR surrogate marker, which corresponds to a fusion between the puromycin N-acetyltransferase and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR).
Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of formula (I): wherein X, W, Q, R, R1 and R2 have the meanings given in claim 1. The compounds are useful e.g. in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, such as multiple sclerosis.
Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid pharmaceutical composition comprising a pegylated IFN-? (PEG-IFN-?), an excipient, a surfactant and a buffer wherein said excipient is a polyol, wherein said surfactant is a non-ionic surfactant and wherein said buffer is a sodium acetate buffer.
Abstract: This invention relates to compounds of Formula (I*) as Pi3k inhibitors for treating autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, multiple sclerosis and other diseases like cancers.
