  • Multiple interferon and virus response element cell-based fluorescence system
    Patent number: 9677071
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a method for a specific, versatile and sensitive detection of IFN-/virus-induced genes, a method for quantifying IFN potency and activity in a pharmaceutical preparation or biological sample, a method for distinguishing between IFN- and viral induction, and/or for distinguishing between different viruses, and a method for the quantification of virus activity. Also, the invention provides the necessary molecular tools like expression active response constructs, suitable cell lines, an array to perform the method and a kit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 2011
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2017
    Assignees: KING FAISAL SPECIALIST HOSPITAL AND RESEARCH CENTRE, KING SAUD UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Khalid S. A. Khabar, Fahad Nasser Al-Majhdi
  • Method for increasing protein expression in cells
    Patent number: 8790896
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for increasing the expression of a protein in cells, preferably in eukaryotic cells, by reducing the number of RNase L cleavage sites in the coding and/or non-coding region of the nucleic acid sequence of said protein. Furthermore, it relates to nucleic acid sequences exhibiting a reduced number of RNase L cleavage sites as well as to the proteins translated from such sequences.
