  • Publication number: 20110206686
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antigen binding proteins to human IL-23, pharmaceutical formulations containing them and to the use of such antigen binding proteins in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of inflammatory diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 3, 2008
    Publication date: August 25, 2011

  • Publication number: 20100221260
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies to NOGO, pharmaceutical formulations containing them and to the use of such antibodies in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of neurological diseases/disorder.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 14, 2006
    Publication date: September 2, 2010

  • Publication number: 20100144600
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel osteoprotegerin variant proteins (OVPs) that demonstrate reduce binding affinity for their ligand TRAIL when compared to wild-type osteoprotegerin. Nucleic acids which encode these OVPs are also provided. Recombinant vectors and host cells expressing these OVPs are also encompassed as are methods of producing recombinant OVPs. The present invention also relates to compositions comprising these OVPs, and to methods of treating bone diseases characterised by increased bone turnover and/or loss. The OVPs of the invention are useful for preventing bone resorption and may be used to treat any condition resulting in abnormal bone turnover or bone loss such as osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, Paget's disease of bone, multiple myeloma, bone cancer and bone loss due to rheumatoid arthritis or osteomyelitis, and the like.

    Applicants: Arana Therapeutics Limited
    Inventors: Anthony Roberts, George Kopsidas, Gregory Coia, Merilyn Sleigh, Vincent Batori
  • Publication number: 20090311710
    Abstract: The use of RNA-replicases for introducing mutations into and selecting for improved RNA molecules is described. The use of ribavirin, or a derivative/analogue thereof, in methods for introducing one or more mutations during replication or transcription of a target nucleic acid molecule is also described. These methods can be used to screen for nucleic acids, or proteins encoded thereby, with altered or new activity. Also provided are kits comprising ribavirin, or a derivative/analogue thereof, for use in mutagenesis procedures.
