Abstract: The invention relates to orthopaedic implant materials and devices comprising porous and or polycrystalline silicon. Such materials and devices may be used in the treatment of one or more of the following conditions: hip fracture, arthrosis of the hip and knee, vertebral fracture, spinal fusion, long bone fracture, soft tissue repair, and osteoporosis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ligands which bind to human tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF) in a manner such that upon binding of these ligands to TNF the biological activity of TNF is modified. In preferred forms the ligand binds to TNF in a manner such that the induction of endothelial procoagulant activity of the TNF is inhibited; the binding of TNF to receptors on endothelial cells is inhibited; the induction of fibrin deposition in the tumour and tumour regression activities of the TNF are enhanced; and the cytotoxicity and receptor binding activities of the TNF are unaffected or enhanced on tumour cells. The ligand is preferably an antibody, F(ab) fragment, single domain antibody (dABs) single chain antibody or a serum binding protein. It is preferred, however, that the ligand is a monoclonal antibody or F(ab).fragment thereof.
