    Inventors: Randy D. Blakely, Cecil M. Eppler
  • Purified active somatostatin receptor
    Patent number: 5331094
    Abstract: The invention relates to a purified somatostatin receptor which is purified at least about 30,000-fold over the receptor which is membrane-bound. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing the receptor and antibodies to the receptor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 1992
    Date of Patent: July 19, 1994
    Assignee: American Cyanamid Company
    Inventors: Cecil M. Eppler, John R. Zysk, Martin J. Corbett, Hong-Ming Shieh
  • Receptors method for purification of G protein-linked
    Patent number: 5225543
    Abstract: The receptor:ligand complex is applied to a solid phase substrate which binds the complex by specifically binding the ligand. The receptor is dissociated from the substrate bound receptor:ligand complex with an eluant capable of releasing the receptor from the ligand and leaving the ligand bound to the solid phase substrate. GTP containing eluants are effective. The receptor is recovered from the eluate and optionally subjected to further purification.
