  • Immobilized protein on nylon for immunoassay
    Patent number: 4615985
    Abstract: A nylon matrix is partially hydrolyzed to form free amine end groups which are then linked to a protein molecule, e.g., an antigen or antibody, by a divalent radical which is the residue of a diimide molecule. The nylon carrying the protein can then be used in conventional manner in an immunoassay or an enzyme assay.

  • Promoting animal and plant growth with leupeptin
    Patent number: 4510130
    Abstract: A method of promoting the more rapid growth of an animal or plant, which comprises administering to said animal, to a food source for said animal, to a plant or to a plant habitat a growth-promoting effective amount of leupeptin. The leupeptin can be incorporated into an animal feed or supplement containing a food base. It apparently functions by inhibiting proteases which degrade proteins, and thus reduce the growth of the host.
