An improved elastomeric material is described comprising an essentially noncross-linkable amorphous copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and perfluoromethyl vinyl ether (PMVE) which is both a thermoplastic and exhibits exceptional mechanical properties. This material is particularly suitable for use in ultra-clean environments, and particularly for use in an implantable device, since it does not contain contaminants that previous thermoset TFE / PMVE copolymers have required. Among the improved properties of the present invention are excellent biocompatibility, high matrix tensile strength, high clarity, high abrasion resistance, high purity, adequate elasticity, and ease of processing due to the thermoplastic, and noncross-linkable structure of the copolymer. The material of the present invention is also a high strength bonding agent particularly suited for bonding porous PTFE to itself or to other porous substances at room or elevated temperatures.

Novel and efficient syntheses create novel piperazinone intermediates which facilitate the production and use of PNAs. Such syntheses and the products enhance the feasibility of a system which permits the rapid identification of PNA oligomers useful as therapeutics, diagnostics and / or gene characterization tools. A first component of the system is a universal PNA library that most preferably incorporates one or more universal nucleotide bases into carefully selected positions within each oligomer species thereby providing the library with the screening ability of a much larger library. The second component of the system is a high throughput screening system that includes a number of assays designed to provide information on the binding activities of the different PNAs to a target nucleotide sequence (generally, a DNA or RNA sequence). The third component is a software system especially designed to provide rapid analysis of the data collected from the high throughput screening system and to determine therefrom the sequence base identities and sequence lengths of PNA oligomers most likely to bind to and appropriately affect the target molecule.

A catalyst has a base catalyst layer containing platinum and barium as precious metal supported by alumina and an over catalyst layer containing platinum and rhodium as precious metal supported by zeolitr. The platinum and rhodium in the over catalyst layer activate NOx and HC so as to make them more reactive in terms of energy, and the barium in the base catalyst layer makes the platinum be more dispersive in the base catalyst layer. Under the existence of dispersive platinum, NOx in exhaust gas is decomposed and purified by reaction with reactive NO2 and partially oxidized HC generated in the over catalyst layer.

The invention also provides a process to obtain said dumbbell constructs employing endonuclease class II enzymes. Furthermore, the invention provides a process to obtain linear, covalently closed DNA molecules, such as plasmids, free from contamination by genomic DNA, by submitting the DNA preparation to a facultative endonucleolytic degradation step and an obligatory exonucleolytic degradation step.

The invention relates to methods of increasing the titre of a protein of interest in a cell as well as the improved production and purification of optimised biomolecules, one component of which is the domain CH3. A frequently observed effect in biomolecules is the cleaving of the C-terminal amino acid(s), e.g. the C-terminal lysine. The usually incomplete processing of the heavy chain of antibodies for example leads to product heterogeneity. To prevent this product heterogeneity the corresponding codon of the C-terminal lysine of the heavy antibody chain has been deleted by recombinant DNA technology. These optimised antibodies lead to a product titre which is higher than in the wild-type. In addition, they prove advantageous during purification by having better elution characteristics as a result of the reduced charge heterogeneity.

Antibodies against the cell surface molecules significantly ameliorate pathological conditions of autoimmune diseases and allergic diseases.
