Patent number: 9567391Abstract: In one aspect, the disclosure provides neutralizing antibodies against JCV and methods for the treatment of PML. In some embodiments, aspects of the invention relate to an isolated JC-virus neutralizing monoclonal antibody against JCV capsid protein VPI (JCV-VP1). In some embodiments, the antibody suppresses infectivity of the JC-virus. In some embodiments, the antibody binds the sialic acid binding pocket of JCV-VPI. In some embodiments, the antibody binds JCV-VP 1 comprising one or more of the following mutations: S269F, S269Y, S267F, N265D, Q271 H, D66H, K60E, K60N and L55F.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Biogen MA Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Simon, Thomas Cameron, Mia Rushe, Justin Caravella, George Campbell Kaynor

Patent number: 8349324Abstract: The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that strategic modifications of non-human donor antibody CDR residue(s) can be used to humanize antibodies. Such modifications modulate the 3D structural fit between donor antibody CDRs and human acceptor antibody framework regions that comprise the variable domains of a CDR-grafted antibody. Whereas prior art methods of humanization have relied on making framework substitutions (in which selected human framework residues are backmutated to the corresponding amino acid residue present in the non-human donor antibody), the instant invention is based, at least in part, on a method of humanizing antibodies in which selected CDR residues, and optionally adjacent FR residues, are changed in order to accommodate differences in FR amino acid sequences between donor and acceptor antibodies.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2009Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Biogen Idec MA Inc.Inventors: Alexey Alexandrovich Lugovskoy, Karl Hanf, You Li, Kenneth Simon, Herman Van Vlijmen

Publication number: 20110073606Abstract: An apparatus that allows for safe and secure transport of a tank, canister, container or cylinder in the upright position on the seat in a vehicle, using the three point seat belt mechanism provided in the vehicle. The primary use was directed toward transportation of a 20 pound propane tank. An apparatus consisting of a body and a bracket, attachment or mechanism that holds the seats belts in place around the tank or cylinder. The body comes into contact with the tank and the brackets, attachments or mechanism that are a part of the body, allow for the three point seat belt straps to be placed in a proper position to hold the tank against the car seat in the car. There is also a retaining strap that goes around the value area of the tank to hold it in place.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2010Publication date: March 31, 2011Inventor: Kenneth Simon
