  • Rabbit monoclonal antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigens and methods of using the same
    Patent number: 8173375
    Abstract: Reagents, methods and immunodiagnostic test kits for the accurate detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are disclosed. The methods and kits employ novel rabbit monoclonal antibodies directed against HBV surface antigens (HBsAg) with mutations in the “a” determinant region of HBsAg.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2008

  • Compositions and Methods for Preparation of Nucleic Acids from Microbial Samples
    Publication number: 20080193912
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for releasing the nucleic acids from a variety of different types of microorganisms are provided. The method relies on a simplified lysis procedure that can be applied to many types of bacteria and fungal cells and is readily automated for high throughput screening methods. The method utilizes a high concentration of a chelating agent and a mixture of lysing enzymes to accomplish the disruption of microbial cell walls and allow the release of the nucleic acid.
