Abstract: Provided is a humanized or chimeric antibody or fragment thereof capable of binding to interleukin-10 (IL-10), wherein said antibody or fragment thereof is capable of being administered to a subject in the absence of an intolerable increase in the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Further provided are methods of treatment involving the use of the antibody or fragment thereof.

Abstract: Provided is a humanized or chimeric antibody or fragment thereof capable of binding to interleukin-10 (IL-10), wherein said antibody or fragment thereof: (i) binds to the same region of IL-10 as the IL-10 receptor ? (IL-I10Ra) and is not capable of binding IL-10 when the IL-10 is bound to the IL-10 receptor; and (ii) binds to IL-10 in homodimeric form by binding a discontinuous epitope comprising residues of both monomers. Further provided are related products and methods involving the use of the antibody or fragment thereof.

Abstract: A transfer device is configured for transferring bulk material from a barge floating on a body of water into at least one receiving device. At least one lifting lock is provided by way of which the barge can be raised, while floating, to a tilting height above the surface of the body of water, and at least one tilting device is provided by way of which the barge can be tilted such that the bulk material is poured from the barge into the receiving device.
