Positional cloning of the mouse obese gene and its human homologue
-
of special interest, Positional cloning is used to obtain a gene associated with weight regulation, opening up the molecular study of the pathogenesis of obesity. The authors predict that the ob gene product regulates body fat through receptor-mediated signaling.

Identifying differences in mRNA by representational difference analysis of cDNA
-
of outstanding interest, In this report, the PCR-coupled subtractive process of representational difference analysis is modified for cDNA. This is an extremely sensitive technique for identifying genes responsible for phenotypic differences between otherwise similar populations.

A faster-acting and more potent form of tissue plasminogen activator
-
of special interest, A second-generation tPA is engineered that exhibits an improved pharmacokinetic profile without loss of fibrinolytic activity. This more potent form of tPA allows a reduction in dosage.

N-Glycosylation of recombinant human interferon-γ produced in different animal expression systems
-
of special interest, A useful type of comparative study that could help to select desired carbohydrate modifications in therapeutic proteins, altering pharmacokinetics and antibody generation. The paper demonstrates the power of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectroscopy for the characterization of carbohydrates, historically a poorly characterized component of protein drugs.

Effect on environment on insulin-like growth factor I refolding selectivity
-
of special interest, Refolding of a 70 amino acid protein containing three disulfides is optimized and shown to be improved by addition of 20% ethanol. The authors thus show that significant increases in refolding yields can be obtained by process optimization.

Effect of aerosolized recombinant human DNase on exacerbations of respiratory symptoms and on pulmonary function in patients with cystic fibrosis
-
of special interest, These authors describe the efficacy of recombinant human DNase in cystic fibrosis. This is a catalytic protein therapeutic that bypasses the usual drug delivery and localization problems because it can be administered locally, via aerosol, to the lung, where the drug is needed.

Randomised double-blind comparison of chimeric monoclonal antibody to tumour necrosis factor α (cA2) versus placebo in rheumatoid arthritis
-
of outstanding interest, The first double-blind trial showing that monoclonal antibody raised to a cytokine can have impressive benefits in a chronic inflammatory disease. Follow-up reports showed that repeated administration was also effective, but human anti-chimeric antibody responses were seen, indicating that antibody reshaping does not entirely eliminate immunogenicity. These results should encourage other related approaches for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Therapeutic potentiation of the immune system by costimulatory Schiff-base-forming drugs
-
of special interest, Describes an approach to rational design of small-molecule immunopotentiating drugs that may provide advantages over direct cytokine administration. Bell-shaped response curves for cytokine induction were observed at micromolar concentrations of the Schiff-base-forming drug. Responses were observed in several types of animal model following oral administration.
