Abstract: Herein is reported a method for obtaining a B-cell comprising the following steps a) labeling B-cells, b) depositing the labeled B-cells as single cells, c) co-cultivating the single cell deposited B-cells with feeder cells, d) selecting a B-cell proliferating and secreting IgG in step c) and thereby obtaining a B-cell. The labeling can be of IgG+CD19+-B-cells, IgG+CD38+-B-cells, IgG+CD268+-B-cells, IgG?CD138+-B-cells, CD27+CD138+-B-cells or CD3?CD27+-B-cells. The method can comprise the step of incubating said B-cells at 37° C. for one hour in EL-4 B5 medium prior to the depositing step. The method can also comprise the step of centrifuging said single cell deposited B-cells prior to the co-cultivation. In the co-cultivation a feeder mix comprising interleukin-1beta, and tumor necrosis factor alpha and Staphylococcus aureus strain Cowans cells or BAFF or interleukin-2 and/or interleukin-10 and/or interleukin-6 and/or interleukin-4 can be used.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of S-[2-[1-(2-ethylbutyl)cyclohexylcarbonylamino]-phenyl]2-methylthiopropionate which is a useful pharmaceutical active compound.

Abstract: There is provided an improved method for the recovery of residual, unseparated ?-ACF from reaction mixtures remaining from an initial synthesis of ACF, which is in particular usable on a large industrial scale, more particularly in the production of capecitabine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising aleglitazar and to the process of manufacture and uses thereof.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a new scalable process for the preparation of compounds of formula I comprising a new process for the preparation of the key intermediate, a dihydropyrrole derivative formula II or a salt thereof.

Abstract: The present application describes the use of low HER3 as a selection criterion for treating patients with a HER inhibitor, such as pertuzumab. It also describes the use of high HER2:HER3 ratio as a selection criterion for treating cancer patients, such as ovarian cancer patients, with a HER inhibitor, such as pertuzumab. In addition, the application describes the use of high HER3 as a selection criterion for treating cancer patients with a chemotherapeutic agent, for instance gemcitabine.
