  • Canine erythropoietin gene and recombinant protein
    Patent number: 7067477
    Abstract: One aspect of the present invention is an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding canine erythropoietin. The present invention also relates to an isolated canine erythropoietin protein or polypeptide. Another aspect of the present invention is a method for providing erythropoietin therapy to a dog or a cat including administering recombinant canine erythropoietin to a dog or a cat in need of erythropoietin therapy in an amount sufficient to increase production of reticulocytes and red blood cells in the dog or cat.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 9, 2004
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2006
    Assignee: Cornell Research Foundation, Inc.
    Inventor: James N. MacLeod

  • Mobile swivel and tether device for attachment to laboratory animals
    Patent number: 4900313
    Abstract: A novel swivel tethering system for attaching to a cage of a laboratory animal is disclosed which provides a greater degree of mobility for laboratory animals. This tethering system provides for extended lateral movement which is not limited to the tether length and is ideally suited for chronic indwelling catheterization since it can minimize the stress created in the animals caused by a limited tether length, thereby reducing the potential distortion of blood parameters.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 28, 1988
    Date of Patent: February 13, 1990
    Assignee: Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania
    Inventors: James N. MacLeod, Bernard H. Shapiro
