  • Nucleic acids encoding and recombinant production of the .beta. subunit of lutenizing hormone
    Patent number: 5856137
    Abstract: Biologically active heterodimeric human fertility hormones composed of two different subunits, each subunit being synthesized in the same cell transformed by at least one cell expression vector having heterologous DNA encoding each subunit with each subunit being controlled by a separate promoter. Preferred human fertility hormones include hCG, hLH and hFSH.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1995
    Date of Patent: January 5, 1999
    Assignee: Genzyme Corporation
    Inventors: Vermuri B. Reddy, Nancy Hsiung, Anton K. Beck, Edward George Berstine
  • Recombinant heterodimeric human fertility hormones, and methods, cells, and vectors and DNA for the production thereof
    Patent number: 5767251
    Abstract: Biologically active heterodimeric human fertility hormones composed of two different subunits, each subunit being synthesized in the same cell transformed by at least one cell expression vector having heterologous DNA encoding each subunit with each subunit being controlled by a separate promoter.

    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 30, 1994
    Date of Patent: June 17, 1997
    Assignee: Genzyme Corporation
    Inventors: Vermuri B. Reddy, Nancy Hsiung, Anton K. Beck, Edward George Bemstine
  • DNA encoding the beta subunit of human follide stimulating hormone and expression vectors and cells containing same
    Patent number: 5639640
    Abstract: The correct sequence is disclosed for the beta subunit of human follicle stimulating hormone which, when present in a recombinant heterodimeric human fertility hormone allows the production of biologically active hormone. DNA coding for such beta subunit of human FSH may thus be prepared as well as expression vectors containing such DNA and cells transfected therewith.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Genzyme Corporation
    Inventors: Vermuri B. Reddy, Nancy Hsiung, Anton K. Beck, Edward George Bernstine
  • Follicle stimulating hormone
    Patent number: 5156957
    Abstract: Biologically active heterodimeric human FSH composed of an alpha subunit and a beta subunit, each subunit being synthesized by a cell having an expression vector containing heterologous DNA encoding the subunit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 1989
    Date of Patent: October 20, 1992
    Assignee: Genzyme Corporation
    Inventors: Vemuri B. Reddy, Nancy Hsiung, Anton K. Beck, Edward G. Berstine
  • Cell encoding recombinant human erythropoietin
    Patent number: 4954437
    Abstract: A rodent epithelioid cell transformed with a recombinant DNA vector including a DNA sequence encoding human erythropoietin, the transformed cell being capable of producing N-linked and O-linked glycosylated human erythropoietin.
