  • Chimeric IL-10
    Publication number: 20060246032
    Abstract: Disclosed are chimeric proteins having a cytokine fused to an enzymatically inactive polypeptide which increases the circulating half-life of the cytokine. The chimeric proteins are useful for treating, inhibiting, or preventing a variety of conditions, including septic shock, granulomatous disorders, Type I diabetes, and various cancers (e.g., multiple myeloma) in a patient.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 10, 2006
    Publication date: November 2, 2006
    Inventors: Terry Strom, Xin Zheng, Alan Steele
  • Method and system for providing a networked collaborative work environment
    Patent number: 7127501
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a collaborative work environment includes servers and client workstations. Client workstations receive data objects from one or more servers and combine the received data objects with stored templates to render HTML pages representing at least a portion of a common project. Users may view, edit, and create common documents for the projects and upload them to the server using a drag-and-drop interface. Additionally, since all file transfers take place using HTTP, project groups can span corporate organizations as well as time zones and geographic boundaries.
