  • Patent number: 8614090
    Abstract: Provided herein are sequences of the genomes and encoded proteins of new astrovirus species, and variants thereof. Also provided are methods of detecting the new astrovirus species and diagnosing astrovirus infection, methods of treating or preventing astrovirus infection, and methods for identifying anti-astrovirus compounds. Provided are two new astrovirus species named HMOAstV-A and HMOAstV-B, and both are distantly related to known astroviruses. Also provided is a new method of classifying astroviruses, where there are three groups of human astroviruses, including HAstV, AstV-MLB, and HMOAstV.

  • Patent number: 4786726
    Abstract: A method of producing highly purified factor IX from crude factor IX comprising binding an A-7 monoclonal antibody to an Affigel-10 column; partially purifying the crude factor IX to produce a partially purified factor IX; applying that factor IX to the A-7-Affigel-10 column with an application buffer; washing the column with 1-3M NaCl in 0.05M Tris-HC1, 20 mM MgCl.sub.2 and 1 mM Benzamidine HCl; eluting purified factor IX from the washed column with 20 mM EDTA; and separating purified factor IX from the EDTA. An improved factor IX product produced thereby.
