Abstract: Various embodiments of a feedthrough header assembly and a device including such assembly are disclosed. The assembly includes a header having an inner surface and an outer surface; a dielectric substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface, where the second major surface of the dielectric substrate is disposed adjacent to the inner surface of the header; and a patterned conductive layer disposed on the first major surface of the dielectric substrate, where the patterned conductive layer includes a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion electrically isolated from the first conductive portion. The assembly further includes a feedthrough pin electrically connected to the second conductive portion of the patterned conductive layer and disposed within a via that extends through the dielectric substrate and the header. The feedthrough pin extends beyond the outer surface of the header.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses IL-18 binding proteins, particularly antibodies that bind human interleukin-18 (hIL-18). Specifically, the invention relates to antibodies that are entirely human antibodies. Preferred antibodies have high affinity for hIL-18 and/or that neutralize hIL-18 activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. Method of making and method of using the antibodies of the invention are also provided. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hIL-18 and for inhibiting hIL-18 activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hIL-18 activity is detrimental.
