Additional instructions are inserted (103) to cause the equivalent memory locations at all computers to be updated. In addition, the initialization of JAVA language classes and objects is disclosed (162, 163) so all memory locations for all computers are initialized in the same manner. The finalization of JAVA language classes and objects is also disclosed (162, 163) so finalization only occurs when the last class or object present on all machines is no longer required. During initial program loading (75), or similar, instructions which result in the application program (50) acquiring (or releasing) a lock on a particular asset (50A, 50X-50Y) (synchronization) are identified. Additional instructions are inserted (162, 163) to result in a modified synchronization routine with which all computers are updated.

Title: Purification of recombinant human factor XIII
Inventor: MENG WENMAO
IPC: C07K14/745
Filed: 2005-11-23
Granted: 2012-01-19
Abstract: The present invention provides improved methods for the purification of factor XIII. In particular, the methods provide compositions containing 5 % or less contaminating proteins. In particular embodiments of the present invention the methods provide purified factor XIII compositions comprising less than 1 % activated factor XIII, less than 2 % protein aggregates, and/or less than 5 % charge isomers of factor XIII. The methods do not require the use a precipitation or crystallization step common to prior methods of isolating factor XIII. Instead, the method uses immobilized metal affinity chromatography to remove various contaminants common to recombinant expression of factor XIII. Further, a combination of various chromatography methods including ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic affinity chromatography, and immobilized metal affinity chromatography comprise a simple and less expensive method to produce a pharmaceutical grade factor XIII product at high yield.

Abstract: The present invention provides binding molecules that specifically bind to ILT3, e.g., human ILT3 (hILT3), on antigen presenting cells, such as for example, monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells (DC), e.g., monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC). The binding molecules of the invention are characterized by binding to hILT3 with high affinity and downmodulating immune responses in vitro, e.g., downmodulating allo immune responses; the production of inflammatory cytokines by dendritic cells, e.g., monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC); the upregulation of costimulatory molecules by DC, e.g., MDDC; and/or calcium flux in monocytes. In addition, the binding molecules upregulate the expression of inhibitory receptors on dendritic cells, e.g., immature dendritic cells. Surprisingly, these same binding molecules which downmodulate immune responses in vitro, are immunostimulatory in vivo. Various aspects of the invention relate to binding molecules, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Methods of using the binding molecules of the invention to detect human ILT3 or to modulate human ILT3 activity, either in vitro or in vivo, are also encompassed by the invention.
