  • Patent number: 9902951
    Abstract: A nucleic acid molecule can be annealed to an appropriate immobilized primer. The primer can then be extended and the molecule and the primer can be separated from one another. The extended primer can then be annealed to another immobilized primer and the other primer can be extended. Both extended primers can then be separated from one another and can be used to provide further extended primers. The process can be repeated to provide amplified, immobilized nucleic acid molecules. These can be used for many different purposes, including sequencing, screening, diagnosis, in situ nucleic acid synthesis, monitoring gene expression, nucleic acid fingerprinting, etc.

  • Publication number: 20020055100
    Abstract: Different nucleic acid molecules present at different locations can be sequenced in parallel Primers that are annealed to the nucleic acid molecules can be provided. Each location can then be provided with a nucleic acid polymerase and a nucleotide. It can then be determined whether or not the nucleotide has been used in primer extension and the process can be repeated. As an alternative to using primers, a nick in a double stranded nucleic acid molecule can provide a 3′-OH group for chain extension.

  • Patent number: 5487984
    Abstract: A process of producing mammalian tumor necrosis factors (TNF) and TNF-like polypeptides by culturing eukaryotic or prokaryotic hosts transformed with DNA sequences encoding those polypeptides. A process for purifying TNF-like polypeptides using an anion exchanger. The TNFs and TNF-like polypeptides produced by the processes of this invention, and compositions and methods utilizing those TNFs and TNF-like polypeptides, are useful in anticancer, antitumor and antimalarial therapies. They are also useful together with interferon therapy, chemotherapy in anticancer and antitumor therapies, and in combination with actinomycin D in the treatment of tumor-bearing mammals.
