  • Publication number: 20060136136
    Abstract: The present invention relates to crystallizable compositions and crystals of BAFF. In addition, this invention relates to the high resolution structure of a BAFF polypeptide as obtained by X-ray crystallography. This invention also relates to a computer (machine) comprising a machine-readable data storage medium comprising a data storage material encoded with machine-readable data comprising the structure coordinates provided by this invention. This invention also relates to methods of using the structure coordinates of BAFF to solve the structure of similar or homologous molecules or molecular complexes and methods of determining the homology model of a similar or homologous molecule, such as APRIL. This invention also provides a computer capable of producing a three-dimensional representation of APRIL based on the homology model structure coordinates.

  • Publication number: 20040006208
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and crystals of CD154 (CD40L) in complex with an anti-CD154 antibody. In addition, this invention relates to the high resolution structure of a CD154/anti-CD154 antibody complex as obtained by X-ray crystallography. Specifically, this structure provides binding sites defined by the structure coordinates determined herein. This invention also relates to a computer (machine) comprising a machine-readable data storage medium comprising a data storage material encoded with machine-readable data comprising the structure coordinates provided by this invention. The computer has instructions to process said machine-readable data into a three-dimensional representation of a molecular complex of CD154/anti-CD154 antibody based on the structure coordinates provided by this invention.
