    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2015

    Inventors: Cedric Szpirer, Jonathan Cavrenne, Benjamin Michel
  • Patent number: 10138289
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for generating antibodies and an expression vector used to express protein(s) which provoke the antibody response. The expression vector may be useful in generating an antibody directed to an antigen, comprising a gene in operable linkage with a promoter, which gene encodes upon expressing a fusion protein comprising (i) CD134L, a fragment, homologous or orthologues protein thereof as N-terminal moiety of the fusion protein; and (ii) all or part of an antigenic protein as C-terminal moiety of the fusion protein. To generate the antibodies, the vector is injected into a subject animal, which produces a fusion protein, against which antibodies are generated.

  • Patent number: 9309518
    Abstract: The present invention is related to integrated method and tools to construct recombinant DNA molecules (to be used as DNA vaccine or gene therapy) without requiring the use of antibiotic(s) resistance gene(s) and without requiring the addition of one or more antibiotic(s) to the culture medium of cells submitted to this recombinant DNA method. The present invention allows to obtain the selection of recombinant host cell(s) transformed by a (exogenous) nucleic acid sequence of interest (extra-chromosomal vector containing the insert) and simultaneously stabilization (stable inheritance) of this (exogenous) nucleic acid sequence of interest into the transformed host cell(s) descendants (maintenance of the nucleic acid sequence of interest in the host cells population).

  • Publication number: 20050260585
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a recombinant eucaryote cell or organism having incorporated in its genome a genetic construct made of at least one nucleotide sequence encoding a toxic gene (TOX) under the control of an inducible promoter/operator genetic sequence and possibly a selectable marker. The present invention is also related to a production and selection method-of-genetically modified eucaryote cells or organisms having integrated into their genome foreigner (exogenous) DNA fragment(s) by using said recombinant eucaryote cells or organisms.
