Patent number: 9044000Abstract: A spinning device for covering and maintaining the front face of a bait fish resulting in greater utility, ease of use and bait durability. The device comprises a cup having a planar face and cylindrical wall adapted to extend rearward along the sides of the bait fish when the inside surface mates a “plug-cut” bait fish frontal face. The device has compound angled surfaces, a planar surface between multiple apertures enabling secure spin options and stability due to deep cup depth seating as well as enlarged flange apertures capable of accepting a standard toothpick. A trio of spaced apart apertures are formed in the device's frontal face allowing for a fishing leader terminating in one or more hooks extending through the device into the bait fish's body. The rotational spin rate of the device is determined by which of the three apertures the leader passes.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Inventor: Steven Grant Lumsden

Patent number: 8981072Abstract: Antibody polypeptides that specifically bind human CD40L are provided. The antibody polypeptides do not activate platelets. The antibody polypeptides are useful in the treatment of diseases involving CD40L activation, such as graft-related diseases and autoimmune diseases.

Publication number: 20130230540Abstract: The disclosure relates to a monovalent polypeptide domain which specifically binds CD28, as well as to an antagonist of CD28, where the antagonist comprises a monovalent polypeptide domain which specifically binds CD28. This disclosure encompasses monovalent polypeptide domains comprising an antibody single variable domain that monovalently binds CD28. An antibody single variable domain that is monovalent for binding of CD28 can inhibit CD28 activity. In one aspect, a monovalent anti-CD28 antibody single variable domain consists of or comprises an antibody single variable domain that specifically binds and antagonizes the activity of CD28, in an aspect, without substantially agonizing CD28 activity. In another aspect, the monovalent anti-CD28 antibody single variable domain is a human antibody single variable domain.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2012Publication date: September 5, 2013Applicant: Domantis LimitedInventors: Steven Holmes, Carrie Enever, Steven Grant, David Sansom

Patent number: 8524236Abstract: The invention relates to antibody polypeptides that monovalently bind CD40L. Antibody polypeptides that are monovalent for binding of CD40L can inhibit CD40L activity while avoiding potential undesirable effects that can occur with antibodies capable of divalent or multivalent binding of CD40L. In one aspect, a monovalent anti-CD40L antibody polypeptide consists of or comprises a single immunoglobulin variable domain that specifically binds and antagonizes the activity of CD40L, preferably without substantially agonizing CD40 and/or CD40L activity. In another aspect, the monovalent anti-CD40L antibody polypeptide is a human antibody polypeptide. The invention further encompasses methods of antagonizing CD40/CD40L interactions in an individual and methods of treating diseases or disorders involving CD40/CD40L interactions, the methods involving administering a monovalent anti-CD40L antibody polypeptide to the individual.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2005Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Domantis LimitedInventors: Steven Grant, Haiqun Liu, Kevin Moulder
