Lpath Receives First U.S. Patent For Anti-LPA Antibody, Lpathomab

Lpath, Inc. (OTCBB: LPTN), the industry leader in lipidomics-based therapeutics, received official notification from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that it has been issued a key patent protecting Lpathomab™, a monoclonal antibody against lysophosphatidic acid (LPA).

DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING WHITE PAPERS & CASE STUDIES

  • Biomanufacturing Flexibility

    This white paper from BIO-G looks at how to create flexible, agile manufacturing facilities to respond to the current glut of biomanufacturing capacity and industry consolidation. Future proofing these facilities for higher titers and multiple product lines is also explored.

  • Cultivation Of CHO Suspension Cells And SEAP Expression

    This application note describes the cultivation of CHO suspension cells in the wave-mixed Thermo Scientific HyPerforma Rocker Bioreactor with a maximum working volume of 5 L. 

  • Guidelines For Proper Filtration And Delivery Of Samples To On-Line Process Analyzers

    Increasingly precise process control strategies, often linked to computer control, have accelerated the use of sophisticated on-line chemical composition analyzers in plant applications. Instruments such as gas and liquid chromatographs, ion chromatographs, laser optic instruments, atomic absorption instruments and specific ion analyzers, which were rarities in laboratories ten years ago, are now found routinely in plant settings. By Ken Perrotta, Division Engineering Manager

  • Quality By Design In Biomanufacturing

    QbD is increasingly required in our industry, but there are still gaps in understanding how QbD applies to the biomanufacturing process.

  • Rapid Chemically-Defined Feed Media Development to Improve Simulated Cell Culture Processes

    Implementing an optimized feed medium may be the most effective alternative for modifications to the growth medium in an existing process.

  • Comparing The Automated Pipetting To Volumetric Glassware And Air Displacement Pipettes

    Analytical sample preparation is used in many industries such as forensics, environmental chemistry, mining, beer and wine fermentation and many others. Concentrated samples are diluted and analyzed via High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography, Atomic Absorption, and/or Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy to name a few. Traditionally these samples are prepared using volumetric glassware, syringes and/or pipettes.
