The polymers may be a thermoset under ambient conditions. At elevated temperatures, the polymers may undergo a transition from a cross-linked state to a lightly cross-linked or un-crosslinked state (e.g., at least in part because at least one instance of the =N—O—C(═O)—NH— bonds may be cleaved (e.g., to form ═N—OH and —NCO)). The transition may be reversable (e.g., by changing the temperature). The polymers of the present disclosure may be useful as hot melt adhesives.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides polymers prepared by a method comprising reacting a polymerization mixture comprising one or more types of diols, one or more types of polyols, and one or more types of isocyanates, wherein at least one type of the diols and/or at least one type of the polyols are phenols, wherein each of the phenols is independently a diol or polyol, wherein one or more instances of -OH, -NH2, and/or -NH- are aryl-bound. At least one instance of C- OH of at least one instance of the diols or polyols may react with -NCO of the isocyanates to form C-O-C(=O)-NH- bonds. The polymers may be a thermoset under ambient conditions. At elevated temperatures, the polymers may undergo a transition from a cross-linked state to a lightly cross-linked or un-crosslinked state (e.g., at least in part because at least one instance of the C-O-C(=O)-NH- bonds may be cleaved (e.g., to form C-OH and -NCO)). The transition may be reversable (e.g., by changing the temperature). The polymers of the present disclosure may be useful as hot melt adhesives.

ORGANISMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING GLYCOMOLECULES WITH LOW SULFATION

Abstract

The invention provides recombinant organisms containing a nucleic acid encoding a heterologous glycomolecule that has a low sulfation profile or that is unsulfated. In one embodiment the heterologous glycomolecule is an immunoglobulin molecule. The recombinant organisms have a genetic modification to at least one sulfotransferase gene, such as a deletion, disruption, or other genetic modification. The cells advantageously produce and, optionally secrete, the heterologous glycomolecule. Thus, the invention provides recombinant organisms that provide glycomolecules having a glycosylation profile that is more similar to the glycosylation profile produced in a mammalian cell, and therefore may be safer and more effective for use as a therapeutic in humans or animals. The glycomolecules can be a glycoprotein, glycopeptide, or a glycolipid.
