Abstract: The invention relates to multimeric fusion proteins which bind to human Fc receptors. The invention also relates to therapeutic compositions comprising the proteins, and their use in the treatment of immune disorders.

Abstract: The present invention relates to single chain polypeptides comprising one or more immunoglobulin Fc domains. In particular the present invention relates to single-chain Fc polypeptides in which at least one functional Fc domain is formed within the polypeptide chain.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for obtaining a recombinant antibody with a desired function, comprising: (a) providing a population of anti-body-forming cells suspected of containing at least one cell capable of producing an antibody exhibiting the desired function; (b) generating one or more transcriptionally active recombinant linear polynucleotides from the antibody-forming cells obtained in step (a) wherein each transcriptionally active recombinant linear polynucleotide comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding a variable domain of an antibody produced by an antibody-forming cell obtained in step (a) and one or more transcription regulatory elements; (c) expressing a recombinant antibody using one or more of the transcriptionally active recombinant linear polynucleotides generated in step (b); (d) screening the recombinant antibody produced by step (c) for the desired function; and (e) optionally repeating steps (b), (c) and (d) to identify a recombinant antibody exhibiting the desired function.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant host cell, wherein the cell is modified to increase the expression levels of Ero1 and XBP1 relative to the expression levels of Ero1 and XBP1 in an unmodified cell. The present invention also relates to a method of producing a recombinant protein of interest comprising expressing the recombinant protein of interest in the recombinant host cell.
