    Patent number: 6294650
    Abstract: The invention relates to peptide nucleic acids that inhibit telomerase activity in mammalian cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 1999
    Date of Patent: September 25, 2001
    Assignee: The Board of Regents, University of Texas System

  • Telomerase extraction method
    Patent number: 6210915
    Abstract: A method of extracting telomerase from a cell sample having telomerase is provided which includes the step of contacting a cell sample with a buffer having (i) a non-ionic detergent at a concentration of not more than 5% (v/v) and (ii) an ionic detergent at a concentration of not more than 1 mM, to form a cell lysate. The method provides efficient extraction of telomerase that can be assayed for diagnostic and prognostic purposes.
