  • Nucleic acids encoding artificial P-selectin ligands
    Patent number: 7399847
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are organic molecules to which are covalently bonded a sialyl-Lex determinant and a sulfated determinant, at least one of these determinants being positioned at a non-naturally occurring site on the molecule. Also disclosed are particular P-selectin ligands and P-selectin ligand-antibody fusions. These molecules, ligands, and fusion proteins find use in methods of reducing or protecting against inflammation and extravasation-dependent adverse reactions, such as organ damage and clotting (for example, associated with adult respiratory distress syndrome or ischemic myocardial injury).

  • Method for making functionalized derivatives of hyaluronic acid
    Patent number: 5652347
    Abstract: Hyaluronate functionalized with dihydrazide is provided and may be cross-linked. A method for producing hyaluronate functionalized with dihydrazide includes mixing hyaluronate and dihydrazide in aqueous solution, then adding carbodiimide so that the hyaluronate and dihydrazide react to form functionalized hyaluronate.
