  • Serological identification of cattle, sheep or goats infected with anaplasma species
    Patent number: 6242571
    Abstract: The subject invention concerns the use of the conserved Anaplasma marginale major surface protein 5 gene and gene product and monoclonal antibody ANAF16C1 for the identification of animals persistently infected with Anaplasma species.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 18, 1998
    Date of Patent: June 5, 2001
    Inventors: Donald P. Knowles, Travis C. McGuire, Guy H. Palmer, William C. Davis, Terry F. McElwain
  • Serological identification of cattle, sheep or goats infected with anaplasma species
    Patent number: 5798219
    Abstract: The subject invention concerns the use of monoclonal antibody ANAF16C1 and Anaplasma species major surface protein-5 in the competitive inhibition format for the serological identification of animals infected with Anaplasma species.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 1996

  • Ribozyme-mediated inhibition of bovine leukemia virus
    Patent number: 5616466
    Abstract: A ribozyme is provided which is capable of cleaving bovine leukemia virus (BLV) RNA both in a cell free system and intracellularly. The ribozyme of the present invention comprises the hammerhead motif flanked by antisense sequences complementary to BLV rex/tax RNA. Introduction of the ribozyme into BLV-infected cells results in inhibition of BLV protein expression, allowing for the control of BLV infection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 1995
    Date of Patent: April 1, 1997
    Inventors: Glenn H. Cantor, Guy H. Palmer
  • Immunogenic anaplasma marginale surface antigens, compositions, and methods of use
    Patent number: 5549898
    Abstract: A purified antigenic surface protein of Anaplasma marginale has been identified, and is capable of inducing immune responses in ruminants which neutralizes virulent Anaplasma marginale. The antigenic surface protein has a molecular weight of about 105,000 daltons, and can be purified by an immunoaffinity chromatography process. The antigen has further utility in diagnostic tests for anaplasmosis. It can be synthesized by polypeptide procedures or by genetic engineering. DNA and amino acid sequences have been developed for the antigen according to this invention. The antigen is useful as a vaccine component for protecting mammals against infection by Anaplasma marginale and may be useful for rickettsial organisms other than Anaplasma marginale.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 15, 1994
    Date of Patent: August 27, 1996
    Inventors: Travis C. McGuire, Guy H. Palmer, Anthony F. Barbet, William C. Davis
  • Cloning of the Babesia bovis 60 KD antigen
    Patent number: 5171685
    Abstract: The subject invention concerns the identification of novel merozoite surface proteins of Babesia bovis. Also disclosed are monoclonal antibodies to these proteins as well as genes which encode for the proteins.The invention further concerns the use of the novel proteins, recombinant DNA clones, and monoclonal antibodies in the detection, treatment, and prophylaxis of babesiosis.
    Type: Grant
