Publication number: 20230399415Abstract: A Twin Immune Cell Engager (TWICE) is a kit or composition for treating cancer comprising a first component and second component. Each component comprises a targeting moiety that binds a tumor antigen expressed by the cancer or an antigen expressed by a non-cancer cell in the tumor microenvironment. In some embodiments, the first and second components each comprise an immune cell binding domain capable of immune cell binding activity when binding the immune cell binding domain in the other component, and a complementary binding domain capable of binding to a complementary antigen when binding the complementary binding domain in the other component. In some embodiments, the first and/or second components comprise a complementary functional domain with activity when targeted to the cancer cell or its microenvironment. The present TWICE complexes offer a unique ability to combine multiple functions into a two-component complex that becomes activated in the tumor microenvironment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Revitope LimitedInventors: Martin PREYER, Allison COLTHART, Pamela WEINSTEIN, Patrick WIENCEK, Emma GEIGER, Werner MEIER

Patent number: 10232305Abstract: A vacuum chamber (2) for a direct air capture process and enclosing an interior space (13) for housing an adsorber structure (1) is given comprising a contiguous circumferential wall structure (115) along an axis (15), which circumferential wall structure (115) in an axial direction is closed by an inlet and an outlet axial wall (116), respectively. Both axial walls (116) comprise at least one closing stainless steel lid (6) allowing for, in an open position, gas to be circulated through the vacuum chamber (2) for passing an adsorber structure (1), and, in a closed position, to close the interior space (13) and to allow evacuation of the interior space (13) down to pressure of 500 mbarabs or less.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: CLIMEWORKS AGInventors: Christoph Gebald, Werner Meier, Nicolas Repond, Tobias Ruesch, Jan André Wurzbacher
