Patents by Inventor Alan Radford

Alan Radford has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Exploitation of the cellulase enzyme complex of neurospora
    Patent number: 5955270
    Abstract: The invention relates to the gene encoding the enzyme cellobiohydrolase-1. Specifically, the invention concerns the elucidation of the regulatable promoter sequence of said gene and the subsequent genetic manipulation of said sequence so as to combine it with DNA sequence structure of a heterologous peptide in order to provide for selective expression of heterologous peptide in accordance with the expression features of the promoter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 15, 1996
    Date of Patent: September 21, 1999
    Assignee: The University of Leeds
    Inventors: Alan Radford, John Howard Parish
  • Production of heterologous peptides
    Patent number: 5834191
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and recombinant means for engineering the production of heterologous peptides in filamentous fungus. The invention involves the genetic manipulation of the glucoamylase gene in order to provide a restriction site in same so that the promoter sequence of the glucoamylase gene can be coupled to a sequence encoding a heterologous peptide whereby the production of the peptide will be under the control of the promoter sequence of the glucoamylase gene.
