  • Antibodies specific for human pancreatitis associated protein
    Patent number: 5959086
    Abstract: The invention relates to the family of the protein (PAP) associated with acute pancreatitis in man and in the rat. It also relates to the nucleotide fragments coding for the above proteins. Also included in the framework of the invention are antibodies which recognize the PAP and which are capable of being used for the purpose of diagnosing pancreatitis. The invention also relates to the production of the PAP, in particular by genetic engineering.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 14, 1995
    Date of Patent: September 28, 1999
    Assignee: Institut National de la Santa et de la Recherche Medicale
    Inventors: Juan-Lucio Iovanna, Volker Keim, Jean-Charles Dagorn
  • Detection of pancreatitis-associated protein for screening for cystic fibrosis
    Patent number: 5834214
    Abstract: The invention relates to in vitro detection of human pancreatitis-associated protein (hPAP) for the purpose of screening for cystic fibrosis. hPAP is quantitated in a biological sample, preferably blood, and a high value is indicative of pancreatic dysfunction. Immunoassays as rapid, reliable methods for hPAP quantitation are provided as are antibodies for use in the assays and hybridomas for production of monoclonal antibodies preferred for use in the assays.
