  • Antibody to carboxy-terminus of human herpesvirus 6 immediate early protein
    Patent number: 6103878
    Abstract: An antibody raised against an epitope of a peptide having an amino acid sequence selected from a group consisting of Leu Asp Gly Tyr Pro Ser Asp Tyr Asp Pro Phe Val Glu Asn Ala Gln Ile Tyr (SEQ ID NO:1) and Leu Asp Gly Tyr Pro Ser Asp Tyr Asp Pro Phe Glu Glu Asn Ala Gln Ile Tyr (SEQ ID NO:2) is advantageously used in an indirect immunoassay to detect the presence of active Human Herpesvirus-6 in a patient sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 26, 1998
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2000
    Assignee: Pel-Freez Rabbit Meat, Inc.
    Inventors: Gary L. Milburn, Robert E. Novy, Jr., Robert C. Mierendorf, Jr.
  • Human herpesvirus 6 detection assay
    Patent number: 5756302
    Abstract: An antibody raised against an epitope of a peptide having an amino acid sequence selected from a group consisting of LDGYPSDYDPFVENAQIY (SEQ ID NO:1) and LDGYPSDYDPFEENAQIY (SEQ ID NO:2) is advantageously used in an indirect immunoassay to detect the presence of active Human Herpesvirus-6 in a patient sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 16, 1996
    Date of Patent: May 26, 1998
    Assignee: Pel-Freez Rabbit Meat, Inc.
    Inventors: Gary L. Milburn, Robert E. Novy, Jr., Robert C. Mierendorf, Jr.
  • Assay for antigens by binding immune complexes to solid supports free of protein and non-ionic binders
    Patent number: 4959303
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for detecting an antigen in a biological sample. The methods involve providing in combination a solid support, which is substantially free of specific binding proteins, and a medium comprising an antigen from the sample and an antibody for the antigen. The combination is incubated under conditions sufficient for the antibody when bound to the antigen to bind to the support. The presence or amount of antibody on the support or in the medium is determined and is related to the presence of antigen in the sample. The methods have particular application to the detection of gram-negative bacteria.
