  • Emulsion-derived particles
    Patent number: 9574054
    Abstract: An emulsion-derived particle comprises a lattice of polymeric strands cross-linked by means of a cross-linking agent, and interstitial openings adjacent and around the strands. Functional groups are provided on the lattice and proteins and/or modified proteins can react with these, thereby to be bonded to the lattice and hence immobilized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 21, 2017
    Assignee: CSIR
    Inventors: Justin Jordaan, Clinton Simpson, Dean Brady, Neil Stockenstrom Gardiner, Isak Bartholomeus Gerber
  • EMULSION-DERIVED PARTICLES
    Publication number: 20160068641
    Abstract: An emulsion-derived particle comprises a lattice of polymeric strands cross-linked by means of a cross-linking agent, and interstitial openings adjacent and around the strands. Functional groups are provided on the lattice and proteins and/or modified proteins can react with these, thereby to be bonded to the lattice and hence immobilised.

  • PRODUCTION OF HETEROLOGOUS PROTEINS OR PEPTIDES
    Publication number: 20100285532
    Abstract: A method of producing a flagellin-based chimeric protein includes culturing a B. halodurans BhFD05 (?hag, ?fliD, ?wprA, ?alp, ?apr, ?vpr, ?asp) strain deposited under Accession Number 41533 at the NCIMB. The strain is caused to express and secrete high levels of a flagellin-based chimeric protein into an extracellular growth medium. The flagellin-based chimeric protein comprises a heterologous peptide (i) inserted in-frame into a flagellin variable region which is flanked on its N-terminal side by an N-terminal fragment of a flagellin polypeptide and, optionally, flanked on its C-terminal side by a C-terminal fragment of a flagellin polypeptide, or (ii) fused to the C-terminal of a flagellin polypeptide.
