  • Avian astrovirus
    Patent number: 6696562
    Abstract: A unique turkey astrovirus has been isolated and sequenced. Primers and probes have been developed using the isolated nucleic acid sequence of the astrovirus and a reverse transcriptase PCR has been developed to detect the presence of avian astrovirus in commercial flocks. Furthermore, purified antigenic polypeptides have been synthesized from each of the open reading frames 1a,1b and 2 of the novel virus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 10, 2001
    Date of Patent: February 24, 2004
    Assignees: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture, University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc.
    Inventors: Stacey Schultz-Cherry, Laura Kelley, Matthew Koci, Bruce S. Seal
  • Nucleotide sequence for the Avian Metapneumovirus (Colorado) attachment glycoprotein gene
    Patent number: 6605283
    Abstract: The nucleic acid and the corresponding amino acid sequence for the attachment glycoprotein of Avian Metapneumovirus (Colorado) Type C strain is provided. The nucleotide sequence is 1,321 base pairs with only one substantial open reading frame encoding a glycoprotein of about 435 amino acids with a predicted Mr of about 48,483 and a net charge of about 23.15 at neutral pH.
