  • Publication number: 20100247515
    Abstract: The invention relates to anti-VEGF polypeptides and antibody single variable domains (dAbs) that are resistant to degradation by a protease, as well as antagonists comprising these. The polypeptides, dAbs and antagonists are useful for pulmonary administration, oral administration, delivery to the lung and delivery to the GI tract of a patient, as well as for treating cancer and inflammatory disease, such as arthritis.

  • Publication number: 20090214534
    Abstract: Drug fusions and conjugates that contain an incretin therapeutic or diagnostic agent that is fused or conjugated to an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody that binds serum albumin. The conjugates and fusion have a longer in vivo half life in comparison with the unconjugated or unfused therapeutic or diagnostic agent.

  • Publication number: 20090005257
    Abstract: The invention relates to polypeptides that unfold reversibly (e.g., unfolds when heated and refolds when cooled), to repertoires containing polypeptides that unfold reversibly and to libraries that contain polypeptides that unfold reversibly or nucleic acids that encode polypeptides that unfold reversibly. The invention further relates to processes for producing a library enriched in polypeptides that unfold reversibly or nucleic acids encoding polypeptides that unfold reversibly, processes for selecting and/or isolating polypeptides that unfold reversibly, and to methods for producing a polypeptide that unfolds reversibly.
