Abstract: The present invention provides non-glycosylated monovalent antibodies with a long half-life when administered in vivo, methods of making such monovalent antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antibodies, and uses of the monovalent antibodies.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel non-human transgenic animals, which upon antigenic stimulation are capable of producing monovalent antibodies binding to a selected antigen, modified heavy chain transgenes, methods for producing the non-human transgenic animals, methods for immunizing the non-human transgenic animals for as well as monovalent antibodies obtainable by such immunization methods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for extending the in vivo half-life of an exogenous soluble therapeutic molecule administered to a subject, by administering to said subject the exogenous soluble molecule and a monovalent antibody that binds to the exogenous soluble molecule, as well as method for treating a disease or disorder associated with an insufficient level of an endogenous soluble molecule in a subject, by administering to said subject a monovalent antibody that binds to the endogenous soluble molecule.

Abstract: Glycosylated monovalent antibodies binding to selected antigens with a low or lacking fucose content, which are capable of inducing antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) on cells expressing the selected antigens in the presence of effector cells, methods for producing the monovalent antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such monovalent antibodies and use thereof for different diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract: The present invention provides monovalent antibodies with a long half-life when administered in vivo, methods of making such monovalent antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antibodies, and uses of the monovalent antibodies.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for producing mixtures of antibodies from a single host cell clone, wherein, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a light chain and nucleic acid sequences encoding different heavy chains are expressed in a recombinant host cell. The recombinantly produced antibodies in the mixtures according to the invention suitably comprise identical light chains paired to different heavy chains capable of pairing to the light chain, thereby forming functional antigen-binding domains. Mixtures of the recombinantly produced antibodies are also provided by the invention. Such mixtures can be used in a variety of fields.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions containing human lactoferrin, or lactoferrin variants deleted for one or more arginine residues in the amino-terminal region of the protein (i.e., in the first basic cluster), and methods of using the compositions. The human lactoferrin, or lactoferrin variants are useful for treatment of human diseases and conditions, including inflamation.
