  • High fluorescent intensity cross-linked allophycocyanin
    Patent number: 7256050
    Abstract: In a method for quantitating an analyte by measuring time resolved transfer of fluorescence energy to or from a label quantitatively associated with the analyte, the present invention provides an improvement comprising measuring the energy transferred from donor compounds having the ability to absorb light energy and then transfer this energy to cross-linked allophycocyanin in a time-resolved manner, where the cross-linked allophycocyanin used according to this invention has not been exposed to strongly chaotropic agents after cross-linking.
    Type: Grant

  • Recombinant phycobiliprotein and phycobiliprotein linker fusion proteins and uses therefore
    Publication number: 20010055783
    Abstract: This invention is directed to the utilization of the developing methods for molecular manipulation of cyanobacteria and red algae (and potentially cryptomonad algae) to express of phycobiliproteins and phycobiliprotein linker fusion proteins and their utilization as phycobiliprotein, phycobilisome and subassembly based reagents. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for a specific binding assay to determine a target moiety which is a member of a specific binding pair, and provides an improvement in the method comprising using a detectable label which is a fusion protein containing both a phycobiliprotein domain and another domain corresponding to a first member of a specific binding pair, where the fusion protein binds to a second member of the specific binding pair to provide a detectable labeled complex.
