Patent number: 7635666Abstract: A member of a specific binding pair (sbp) is identified by expressing DNA encoding a genetically diverse population of such sbp members in recombinant host cells in which the sbp members are displayed in functional form at the surface of a secreted recombinant genetic display package (rgdp) containing DNA encoding the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof, by virtue of the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof being expressed as a fusion with a capsid component of the rgdp. The displayed sbps may be selected by affinity with a complementary sbp member, and the DNA recovered from selected rgdps for expression of the selected sbp members. Antibody sbp members may be thus obtained, with the different chains thereof expressed, one fused to the capsid component and the other in free form for association with the fusion partner polypeptide. A phagemid may be used as an expression vector, with said capsid fusion helping to package the phagemid DNA.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1999Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignees: Medical Research Council, Medimmune LimitedInventors: John McCafferty, Anthony Richard Pope, Kevin Stuart Johnson, Hendricus Reneus Jacobus Mattheus Hoogenboom, Andrew David Griffiths, Ronald Henry Jackson, Kaspar Philipp Holliger, James David Marks, Timothy Piers Clackson, David John Chiswell, Gregory Paul Winter, Timothy Peter Bonnert

Publication number: 20090223112Abstract: A vermin trap apparatus and method. The trap comprises a movable path between the entrance and the bait, and sensor means adjacent the movable path for detecting vermin presence on the path. When a vermin detection signal is sent to control means, the control means causes a movable clamping member to trap the vermin for electrocution. Also provided are methods of the path to rotate and/or pivot, thereby dislodging the electrocuted vermin and into a containment region. Methods for electrocuting vermin are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2008Publication date: September 10, 2009Inventor: Ronald Henry Deibert

Patent number: 7368111Abstract: Specific binding members comprising human antibody antigen binding domains specific for human transforming growth factor beta (TGF?) bind specifically isoforms TGF?2 and TGF?1 or both, preferentially compared with TGF?3. Specific binding members may be isolated and utilized in the treatment of disease, particularly fibrotic disease and also immune/inflammatory diseases. Therapeutic utility is demonstrated using in vitro and in vivo models. Full sequence and binding information is provided, including epitope sequence information for particularly advantageous specific binding member which binds the active form of TGF?2, neutralizing its activity, but does not bind the latent member.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2003Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignees: Cambridge Antibody Technology Limited, Medical Research CouncilInventors: Julia Elizabeth Thompson, Tristan John Vaughan, Andrew James Williams, Jonathan Alexander Green, Ronald Henry Jackson, Louise Bacon, Kevin Stuart Johnson, Alison Jane Wilton, Philip Ronald Tempest, Raymond Paul Field, Steven Paul Ruddock, Gregory Paul Winter
