  • Patent number: 9387233
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for stable long-term storage of non-glycosylated recombinant human Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF), wherein an aqueous acetate or glutamate buffered G-CSF composition containing the non-glycosylated recombinant human G-CSF and sorbital is cooled to a temperature of ?15° C. or below to obtain a frozen G-CSF composition, which frozen composition is then stored in the frozen state and then increased in temperature to a temperature within the range of from 2° C. to 8° C. for a period of time adjusted to allow the composition to thaw and to obtain a liquid composition having a G-CSF content of at least 95% of the G-CSF content of the original composition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 17, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2016
    Assignee: Sandoz AG
    Inventors: Klaus Graumann, Helmut Lerch, Thomas Lauber

  • Patent number: 8449873
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for stable long-term storage of non-glycosylated recombinant human G-CSF, wherein an aqueous acetate or glutamate buffered G-CSF composition containing non-glycosylated recombinant human G-CSF and sorbitol is cooled to a temperature of ?15° C. or below to obtain a frozen G-CSF coFmposition, which frozen composition is then stored in the frozen state. The temperature of the frozen G-CSF composition is later increased to a temperature within the range of from 2° C. to 8° C. for a time selected to allow the G-CSF composition to thaw and to obtain a liquid G-CSF composition having a G-CSF content of at least 95% of the G-CSF content of the original composition.

  • Publication number: 20100243690
    Abstract: In a weapon holster with adjustable draw angle, in particular for hand firearms, comprising a holster web for fastening the holster to a belt, a coupling or the like and a holster receptacle for holding a weapon, in particular a hand firearm, wherein the holster web and the holster receptacle are connected together and can rotate about an axis of rotation such that the draw angle defined by the relative position between the holster web and the holster receptacle can be adjusted, latch protrusions between the holster web and the holster receptacle and latch depressions that are partially complementary to said protrusions are provided in which the latch protrusions engage for fixing various draw angles, wherein the adjustment of the draw angle is only accomplished by applying a torque that releases the latching protrusions from the latch depressions and rotating the holster web and holster receptacle about the axis of rotation in opposite directions, and wherein the torque is adjustable.
