Publication number: 20140200180Abstract: Methods for producing proteins and glycoproteins in Pichia pastoris that lack detectable cross binding activity to antibodies made against host cell antigens are described. In particular, methods are described wherein recombinant Pichia pastoris strains that do not display a ?-mannosyltransferase 2 activity with respect to an N-glycan or O-glycan and do not display at least one activity selected from a ?-mannosyltransferase 1, 3, and 4 activity to produce recombinant proteins and glycoproteins. These recombinant Pichia pastoris strains can produce proteins and glycoproteins that lack detectable ?-mannosidase resistant ?-mannose residues thereon and thus, lack cross binding activity to antibodies against host cell antigens. Further described are methods for producing bi-sialylated human erythropoietin in Pichia pastoris that lack detectable cross binding activity to antibodies against host cell antigens.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: Merck Sharp & Dohme CorpInventors: Piotri Bobrowicz, Sujatha Gomathinayagam, Stephen Hamilton, Huijuan Li, Natarajan Setheraman, Terrance A.

Patent number: RE45014Abstract: Methods for motion estimation with adaptive motion accuracy of the present invention include several techniques for computing motion vectors of high pixel accuracy with a minor increase in computation. One technique uses fast-search strategies in sub-pixel space that smartly searches for the best motion vectors. An alternate technique estimates high-accurate motion vectors using different interpolation filters at different stages in order to reduce computational complexity. Yet another technique uses rate-distortion criteria that adapts according to the different motion accuracies to determine both the best motion vectors and the best motion accuracies. Still another technique uses a VLC table that is interpreted differently at different coding units, according to the associated motion vector accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2007Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Jordi Ribas-Corbera, Jiandong Shen
