  • Purified human alpha interferon receptor
    Patent number: 5889151
    Abstract: The subject invention relates to a purified receptor of human alpha interferon.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 1995
    Date of Patent: March 30, 1999
    Assignee: Societe Leb-Tech
    Inventors: Knud Erik Mogensen, Gilles Uze, Georges Lutfalla, Ion Gresser
  • Antibodies directed against the alpha interferon receptor
    Patent number: 5886153
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies against an alpha interferon receptor, as well as to kits comprising such antibodies. The antibodies of the invention are suitable for the assay of the receptors or for their visualization in the case of imaging. The present antibodies and kits can thus be used as diagnostics or imaging agents, or as pharmacological models to test compounds derived from human alpha interferon.

    Assignee: Societe LEB-TECH
    Inventors: Knud Erik Mogensen, Gilles Uze, Georges Lutfalla, Ion Gresser
  • Use of the alpha interferon receptor and cells which express the receptor, for identification of alpha interferon agonists
    Patent number: 5861258
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of the human alpha interferon receptor and of non human host cells which express said receptor, to identify alpha interferon agonists.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 1995
    Date of Patent: January 19, 1999
    Assignee: Societe LEB-TECH
    Inventors: Knud Erik Mogensen, Gilles Uze, Georges Lutfalla, Ion Gresser
  • Gene associated with X linked Kallmann syndrome and diagnostic applications therefrom
    Patent number: 5763166
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fragment of nucleic acid characterized in that it comprises a nucleotide sequence selected from: (A) the sequence SEQ ID No. 1; (B) the sequences of one or more bases; (C) fragments of the said sequences (A) and (B); (D) sequences complementary to the said sequences (A), (B), and (C); and (E) the sequences which hybridize with the sequences (A),(B), and (C). The corresponding peptide sequences are also disclosed. A nucleic acid fragment of the invention may be used as a primer or probe, particularly in a method for diagnosing a genetic anomaly linked to the Kallmann syndrome.
    Type: Grant
