  • fibrinogen binding protein gene
    Patent number: 7838012
    Abstract: The isolation of genes and proteins from Staphylococcus aureus is provided, and the nucleic acids coding for specific regions of the S. aureus protein are described. The nucleic acids encode proteins that can be useful as vaccines or in pharmaceutical compositions for application to prevent infection, promotion of wound healing, blocking adherence to indwelling medical devices, or diagnosis of infection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 23, 2010
    Assignee: The Provost, Fellows and Scholars of the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth Near Dublin
    Inventors: Timothy James Foster, Damien Leo McDevitt

    Inventors: Timothy James Foster, Damien Leo McDevitt
  • fibrinogen binding protein gene
    Patent number: 6994855
    Abstract: The invention relates to the isolation of the fibrinogen binding protein gene from Staphylococcus aureus and to the use of the fibrinogen binding protein and antibodies generated against it for wound healing, blocking adherence to indwelling medical devices, immunization or diagnosis of infection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 5, 2000
    Date of Patent: February 7, 2006
    Assignee: The Provost Fellows and Scholars of the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth Near Dublin
    Inventors: Timothy James Foster, Damien Leo McDevitt
  • S. aureusfibrinogen binding protein
    Patent number: 6177084
    Abstract: The isolation of the S. aureus fibrinogen binding protein gene is described and a minimal fibrinogen binding protein is identified. The protein finds use as a vaccine or a pharmaceutical composition for application to prevent infection, promotion of wound healing, blocking adherence to indwelling medical devices, or diagnosis of infection.
