  • cDNA clones encoding chicken egg white cystatin
    Patent number: 5212297
    Abstract: cDNA clones coding for the chicken cysteine proteinase inhibitor cystatin were found and isolated using for example a synthetic oligonucleotide probe corresponding to amino acids 81-90 of the cystatin sequence. This was used to screen a lambda gt 11 chicken oviduct cDNA library. A full length cystatin cDNA was also isolated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 14, 1992
    Date of Patent: May 18, 1993
    Assignees: University of Kansas, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
