  • Patent number: 9834611
    Abstract: The present invention relates to immunoglobulin single variable domain sequences that are directed against (as defined herein) OX40L, as well as to compounds or constructs, and in particular proteins and polypeptides, that comprise or essentially consist of one or more such immunoglobulin single variable domain sequences. In particular these immunoglobulin single variable domain sequences can block binding of OX40L to OX40. The immunoglobulin single variable domains, compounds and constructs can be used for prophylactic, therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, such as for the treatment of inflammatory disease and/or disorder such as e.g. asthma, allergic asthma, chronic colitis, Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and/or arthrosclerosis.

  • Patent number: 6764852
    Abstract: Two isoforms, p110 and p58 of PITSLRE protein kinase, can be translated from the same p110 (a2-2) mRNA by an internal ribosome entry process. Accordingly, p110 and p58, two proteins with punitive functions, are translated from a single mRNA species by using two AUGs within the same reading frame. These two proteins share the 439 C-terminal amino acids that contain the kinase domain. The internal ribosomal entry site (“IRES”) in the polycistronic p110 mRNA is the first IRES completely localized in the coding region of a cellular mRNA. Moreover, it was unexpectedly found that the IRES element is cell cycle regulated. Translation of p58 occurs in the G2/M stage of the cycle.
