  • Target genes for strain-specific diagnostic of and use thereof
    Patent number: 8206908
    Abstract: The invention provides a combination of target genes that are useful as genetic markers for the strain-specific detection of Ehrlichia ruminantium. The invention also provides diagnostic methods using said combination of markers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 25, 2006
    Date of Patent: June 26, 2012
    Assignees: Centre de Cooperation Internationale en Recherche Agronomique Pour le Developpement (Cirad), Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
    Inventors: Roger Frutos, Nathalie Vachiery, Thierry Lefrancois, Conception Ferraz, Jacques Demaille, Dominique Martinez
  • Sequences for differential diagnostic of and use thereof
    Patent number: 7919436
    Abstract: The invention provides genes that are unique either to Ehrlichia ruminantium strain Gardel or to Ehrlichia ruminantium strain Welgevonden, or allelic couples which are present in both strains but whose sequences differ between the two strains, as genetic markers to differentiate between these two strains. The invention also provides diagnostic methods using these genetic markers.

  • Expression receptors with 7 transmembrane domains in baculovirus-insect cell system
    Publication number: 20060009618
    Abstract: The invention concerns the expression in a baculovirus-insect cell system of receptors with seven transmembrane domains, in particular receptors coupled to proteins (;, in particular olfactory receptors, under the transcriptional control of a promoter derived from the polyhedrin promoter by deletion of all or part of the region of said promoter extending from ?1 to ?12 positions relative to the initiation site of the polyhedrin translation.
