Abstract: Described is an improved method of selecting a member of a specific binding pair (sbp) having a desired specify, preferably an antibody, from a library expressing said member of a sbp, preferably a phage-display antibody library.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds suitable for the treatment of conditions which may be improved, at least in part, by increasing TNF ? production. The invention further relates to assays for the identification of an individual at increased risk for or suffering front such conditions and to methods of screening compounds for their ability to enhance TNF ? biosynthesis.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of producing a purified polymer selected from the group consisting of PNAs, (poly)peptides, PNA chimera, peptide-DNA chimera, and derivatives thereof, wherein the polymer carries at least one lipophilic group and wherein the method comprises the following steps: (a) transferring a solution comprising the polymer carrying a lipophilic group to a lipophilic surface under conditions that allow binding of said lipophilic group to said lipophilic surface; (b) washing said surface under conditions that allow said binding to be maintained, wherein polymers not carrying said lipophilic group are removed; (c) washing said surface under conditions that break said binding; (d) collecting the washing solution from step (c); and (e) obtaining said purified polymer from said washing solution. Preferably, the lipophilic group is a protection group, or a label such as a fluorescent dye, or a linker, for example a linker suitable for immobilization on a support.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of at least one solid phase bound peptide. PNA or a chimera.
