  • Publication number: 20230078449
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibody molecules, in particular antibody molecules that bind Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF?) and uses thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to antibody molecules that bind and preferably neutralise TGF?1, TGF?2 and TGF?3, so-called “pan-specific” antibody molecules, and uses of such antibody molecules. Preferred embodiments within the present invention are antibody molecules, whether whole antibody (e.g. IgG, such as IgG1 or IgG4) or antibody fragments (e.g. scFv, Fab, dAb).

  • Patent number: 5658754
    Abstract: A method for the cell-free synthesis and isolation of novel genes and polypeptides is provided. Within one embodiment, an expression unit is constructed onto which semi-random nucleotide sequences are attached. The semi-random nucleotide sequences are first transcribed to produce RNA, and then translated under conditions such that polysomes are produced. Polysomes which bind to a substance of interest are then isolated and disrupted; and the released mRNA is recovered. The mRNA is used to construct cDNA which is expressed to produce novel polypeptides.
