Abstract: Methods of therapy for B-cell malignancies are provided. The methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antagonist anti-CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to a patient in need thereof. The antagonist anti-CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is free of significant agonist activity when the antibody binds a CD40 antigen on a normal human B cell, exhibits antagonist activity when the antibody binds a CD40 antigen on a malignant human B cell, and can exhibit antagonist activity when the antibody binds a CD40 antigen on a normal human B cell. Antagonist activity of the anti-CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof beneficially inhibits proliferation and/or differentiation of malignant human B cells.

Abstract: Injection unit with which several injections can be given, for e.g. pernicious anaemia, has a housing (15) in which a container (12) is axially displaceable in a holder (17) between end positions. A plunger (14) acts on a piston (23) and expels fluid from the container. A latching arrangement (27) under spring load engages in a tooth gap of the plunger and is surrounded by a drive tube (35). By movement of the plunger in the distal direction, i.e. away from the patient, a unidirectional forced connection is made between the plunger and the container for movement in this direction. With movement in the proximal direction, i.e. towards the patient, the plunger moves the container only up to its end position, then expels fluid.

Abstract: A control system for a utility vehicle transmission provides for operator selection of vehicle "aggressiveness," or rates of acceleration in response to operator command. The aggressiveness of a vehicle's performance can be controlled by modulating control signals to proportional control valves, which determine the transmission acceleration, according to two or more electrical ramp-up (or ramp-down) profiles, in response to an operator's acceleration command (or deceleration command). The transmission control system includes a controller, directional switches and electro-hydraulic valves which control hydraulic pressure in the clutch packs in a reverser transmission. The operator is provided with a two-position set switch. With the set switch in the less aggressive position, in response to an operator's command, the software in the controller provides a relatively slow current ramp to energize the control valves. With the switch in the more aggressive position, the current ramps and resultant pressure ramps are faster, thus causing more aggressive transmission operation for the reverser transmission.</PTEXT>
