  • Protein stabilizing factors
    Patent number: 10806695
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are described for preventing or reducing protein loss due to protein aggregation, denaturation, and absorption to surfaces. Also described are compositions and methods for preventing or reducing the fouling or clogging of medical devices that come into contact with blood, such as catheters. Also described are methods to treat diseases caused by activation of the microvasculature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 2, 2019

  • Determination of von Willebrand Factor cleavage by ADAMTS13
    Patent number: 8637268
    Abstract: Novel methods are described for measuring the rate of ADAMTS13-mediated cleavage of von Willebrand Factor (VWF) multimers. Through the use of the reagent, ristocetin, the method can advantageously be performed in the absence of an applied shear stress or added denaturing agent. Also described are methods for diagnosing ADAMTS13-associated disorders and methods for providing improved treatment of those disorders by evaluating the efficacy of the treatment using the methods as described.
