Patents by Inventor Ian C. Hart

Ian C. Hart has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Immunologic enhancement of the somatogenic effect of somatotropin with an antibody
    Patent number: 6165465
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to antibodies, in particular monoclonal antibodies, of porcine somatotropin (pST). When these antibodies are administered together with pST, the growth of vertebrates is greater than that achieved with the administration of pST alone. The invention is also directed to an increase in the growth of vertebrates which persists over long periods when an antibody to a somatotropin is administered together with such somatotropin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 15, 1990
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2000
    Assignee: American Cyanamid Company
    Inventors: Bosco Shang Wang, Araceli L. Lumanglas, Ian C. Hart
  • Antibodies specifically recognizing somatotropin binding proteins
    Patent number: 5807550
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to antibodies, in particular monoclonal antibodies, which specifically bind to somatotropin binding proteins of animals, but not with the corresponding somatotropin receptors. The antibodies may be used alone to enhance the growth of animals, or may be used together with somatotropin to potentiate the effect of somatotropin in animals. The antibodies may also be used to assay the level of somatotropin binding protein of animals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 1995
    Date of Patent: September 15, 1998
    Assignee: American Cyanamid Company
    Inventors: William Robert Baumbach, Bosco Shang Wang, Homayoun Sadeghi, John Steele Logan, Ian C. Hart
  • Monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind somatotropin binding proteins but not to corresponding somatotropin receptors and methods of use in immunoassays
    Patent number: 5439795
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to antibodies, in particular monoclonal antibodies, which specifically bind to somatotropin binding proteins of animals, but not with the corresponding somatotropin receptors. The antibodies may also be used to assay the level of somatotropin binding protein of animals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 1990
    Date of Patent: August 8, 1995
    Assignee: American Cyanamid Company
    Inventors: William R. Baumbach, Bosco S. Wang, Homayoun Sadeghi, John S. Logan, Ian C. Hart
  • Compositions and methods for the enhancement of performance in meat-producing animals and for the treatment and control of disease therein
    Patent number: 5407917
    Abstract: Methods for increasing the growth rate and increasing the efficiency of food utilization of meat-producing animals and for treating bacterial infections in said animals by administering an effective amount of selected antibiotics derived from the microorganism Streptomyces lydicus ssp. tanzanius (NRRL 18036) are described herein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 22, 1993
    Date of Patent: April 18, 1995
    Assignee: American Cyanamid Company
    Inventor: Ian C. Hart
  • Enhancement of porcine somatotropin activity
    Patent number: 5210180
    Abstract: This invention is directed to peptide fragments of porcine somatotropin (pST) which are used to generate epitope-specific anti-pST antibodies. When such antibodies are administered with pST to warm-blooded animals, the growth enhancing activity of pST is potentiated.
