Abstract: The present invention relates to devices carrying on the surface polymeric micelles and a process for the preparation thereof. It further relates to the use of polymeric micelles as a surface coating for rendering a surface anti-fouling and/or protein-resistant. These polymeric micelles are of the so-called complex coacervate core type, exhibiting a hydrophilic, neutral corona and a core, which is formed by charge complexation of oppositely charged blocks. The polymeric micelle comprises a block polymer with an ionic block and a neutral and hydrophilic block, and at least a second polymer, either a block polymer or a homopolymer, with an ionic block that is oppositely charged to the first ionic block. All constituents exhibit excellent water solubility, and the micelles of the invention are therefore straightforwardly formed by mixing those different polymers together in aqueous conditions. Rather than a CMC these polymeric micelles have a preferred micellar composition (PMC), depending on the relative amounts of anionic and cationic groups. It is preferred to mix the components in such ratios that the total number of cationic polymeric groups over the total number of charged groups is in the range of 0.2 to 0.8. Complex coacervation and thus micellisation is entirely surpressed if the salt concentration reaches a critical value, which can be as high as 1 M. The coating composition according to the invention has the advantages that it can be applied to various types of surfaces and uses easy-to-synthesise hydrophilic components.

Abstract: A method of determining common three-dimensional structural features of protein surfaces is provided, as is use of representations of these common structures in molecular database searching and in designing focused molecular libraries. The method is particularly concerned with the analysis and representation of protein surfaces such as b-turns, loops and contact surfaces. In one form, the method identifies common locations and orientations of amino acid side-chains, simplified as Calpha-Cbeta vectors. In another form, the method identifies common regions of surface charge represented by grid points in three-dimensional space. Further provided are common three dimensional structural features of proteins that can be used to search molecular databases for the purposes of identifying molecules that match these common three dimensional structural features. The common three dimensional structural features can also be used to focus de novo molecular generation to produce libraries containing molecules that have these common three dimensional structural features. Libraries of these structurally-related molecules may then be produced for the purposes of drug discovery.

Abstract: The invention relates to traffic handling in multi-access communication systems (100). A network-level solution is proposed, in which the access networks (20) provide a network-based ATC server (61) with access-related information comprising measured performance parameters. The ATC server may also receive information from the multi-access terminal (10), e.g. about available access networks. The ATC server coordinates the information and uses it for adaptive traffic control calculations. This typically involves continuously executing an adaptive traffic control algorithm for reaching predetermined control objectives. The control algorithm tracks the reference values and outputs a feedback control signal that is sent back to the user devices. Based on the feedback control signal the multi-access terminals spread their traffic over the available access networks.

Abstract: This invention is directed to deimmunized antibodies that are useful as immunotherapeutic drugs against Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and CD4-mediated autoimmune disorders. More specifically, antibodies expressed by clones, Clone 7 containing the recombinant genes B4DIVHv1/VK1CHO#7, Clone 16 containing the recombinant genes B4DIVHv1/VK1#16, and clone 21 containing the recombinant genes B4DIVHv1/VK1#21, are derived from mouse monoclonal B4 antibody (mAb B4). The antibodies were produced by removing particular murine determinants recognized as foreign by the human immune system. These recombinant antibodies were generated by the chimerization and deimmunization of the Fv region of mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) B4. For improved safety, the coding sequence may further be mutated to express an aglycosylated IgG1 antibody that is unable to bind complement. The deimmunized antibodies retain the specificity of the murine mAb B4 for a receptor complex involving CD4 on the surface of the host T cells, and retain the characteristic ability of mAb B4 to neutralize primary isolates of HIV.
