Abstract: Methods of making Apo-2 ligand and formulations of Apo-2 ligand using divalent metal ions are provided. Such divalent metal ions include zinc and cobalt which improve Apo-2 ligand trimer formation and stability. The crystal structure of Apo-2 ligand is also provided, along with Apo-2 ligand variant polypeptides identified using oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for producing humanized antibodies and increasing the yield of antibodies and/or antigen binding fragments when produced in cell culture. In one aspect of the invention, at least one framework region amino acid residue of the variable domain is substituted by a corresponding amino acid from a variable domain consensus sequence subgroup that has the most sequence identity with the HVR1 and/or HVR2 amino acid sequence of the variable domain. In another aspect, an amino acid is placed at a position proximal to a cys residue that participates in an intrachain variable domain disulfide bond that corresponds to an amino acid found at that position in a variable domain consensus sequence subgroup that has the most sequence identity with the HVR1 and/or HVR2 amino acid sequenc of the variable domain.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a service station for maintaining pens is provided. The service station includes a treadmill belt that has an outer surface and an inner surface. At least one wiper is positioned on the outer surface of the treadmill belt. The treadmill belt is mounted on a first roller and a second roller. The first roller and the second roller contact the inner surface of the treadmill belt for driving the treadmill belt. Either the first roller or the second roller can be coupled to a drive axle. Preferably, the drive axle is coupled to a paper motor via a paper drive shaft. The wiper can be, for example, a flicker squeegee or a wicking squeegee.
