Patent number: 8853371Abstract: Methods useful for producing a solution of purified Fc peptide chains are disclosed. The methods employ protein A chromatography to separate high molecular weight, aggregated peptide chains comprising antibody Fc domains from lower molecular weight unaggregated peptide chains that also comprise antibody Fc domains. The solutions of purified Fc peptide chains obtained by the methods of the invention contain less than 5% aggregate and greater than 70% of the Fc peptide chains subjected to purification.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2007Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Janssen Biotech, Inc.Inventors: Pedro Alfonso, Michael Capaldi, Dennis Dong, Thomas R. Gervais, Joshua Goldstein, Allen B. Magill, Nicole Quinlan, Deepak Saini

Publication number: 20090062510Abstract: Human chemotactic cytokine I polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such chemotactic cytokines and a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such chemotactic cytokines for the treatment of leukemia, tumors, chronic infections, auto-immune disease, fibrotic disorders, wound healing and psoriasis. Antagonists against such chemotactic cytokines and their use as a therapeutic to treat rheumatoid arthritis, auto-immune and chronic and acute inflammatory and infective diseases, allergic reactions, prostaglandin-independent fever and bone marrow failure are also disclosed. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting diseases related to mutations in the nucleic acid sequences and altered concentrations of the polypeptides. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting mutations in the polynucleotides encoding the chemotactic cytokines and for detecting altered levels of the polypeptide in a host.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2007Publication date: March 5, 2009Applicant: Human Genome Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Jian Ni, Guo-Liang Yu, Pedro Alfonso, Reiner L. Gentz, Jeffrey Y. Su

Publication number: 20050157455Abstract: A product badge coupled to a product, such as an information handling system, has a manually-selectable orientation to allow the orientation of the product badge to change for adapting to changes in the orientation of the product. A product badge support rotationally couples the product badge to the product for user selection of a desired orientation of product information, such as a manufacturer logo or a product identification number. Manual activation to change product badge orientation includes pushing the product badge into the product badge support to engage opposing cams, pushing the product badge edge to rotate the product badge to an opposing side having product information of another orientation, and pushing the product badge to activate a retention mechanism for release and retention of a selected of plural clips.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2004Publication date: July 21, 2005Inventors: David Hernandez, Pedro Alfonso, Bradley Jackson, Kenneth Musgrave

Patent number: 6102218Abstract: A computer system according to which a bracket supports a computer chassis on a structure having an accessible upper edge. The bracket is formed by a plurality of support members for receiving the chassis and for engaging the chassis in a manner to prevent movement of the chassis relative to the bracket. At least one hook is connected to the support member for extending over the edge to support the support member, and therefore the chassis, relative to the structure.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1998Date of Patent: August 15, 2000Assignee: Dell USA, L.P.Inventors: Pedro Alfonso, Benjamin Trapp

Patent number: 6029580Abstract: A computer user station includes a support member. A monitor and a keyboard are supported on a first surface of the support member. A computer chassis is mounted in a frame. The frame includes a mounting portion attached for mounting the computer chassis to a second surface of the support member in a suspended position. A security portion of the frame secures the frame to the computer chassis. The security portion also functions as a back support for a back surface of the computer chassis which is cradled in the frame in a tilted-back position.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1998Date of Patent: February 29, 2000Assignee: Dell USA, L.P.Inventors: Pedro Alfonso, Bryan Byle
