  • MUSSEL BIOADHESIVE
    Publication number: 20110033891
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bioadhesive derived from mussel. In particular, it relates to a novel Mytilus galloprovincialis foot protein type 5 (MGFP-5) and a recombinant protein that is a hybrid of MGFP-5 and foot protein type 1 (FP-1), where an adhesive protein with adhesive activity can be economically mass-produced to be used in place of chemical adhesives through the present invention.

  • MUSSEL BIOADHESIVE
    Publication number: 20090203883
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bioadhesive derived from mussel. In particular, it relates to a novel MGFP-3A MUTANT (Mytilus galloprovincialis foot protein type-3A MUTANT) protein and a recombinant protein that is a hybrid of MGFP-3A MUTANT, FP (Foot Protein)-1 and MGFP-5 (Mytilus galloprovincialis foot protein type-5). According to the present invention, the adhesive protein can be economically produced in large scale and can be used instead of chemical adhesives.

  • Process for continuous optimized protein production in insect larvae
    Patent number: 6153409
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a recombinant insect larvae and a process of manufacturing proteins utilizing insect larvae that allows for the selection of individual larvae for harvest at the point of their optimal expression of a protein of interest. This invention also provides for a process to manufacture proteins in larvae that does not require synchronization of the infection, growth and harvest larvae to optimally manufacture a protein of interest. The invention further provides for a process of producing interleukin-2 in larvae.
