Patent number: 8138316Abstract: Isolated nucleic acid molecules having a nucleotide sequence encoding feline pancreatic lipase polypeptides, splice variants, allelic variants, and fragments thereof. Isolated feline pancreatic lipase polypeptides, splice variants, allelic variants, and fragments thereof. Host cells comprising a vector containing the polynucleotide sequences and methods for expressing the polypeptides. The generation of monoclonal antibodies that specifically binds to the feline pancreatic lipase polypeptides, and cell lines secreting the monoclonal antibodies. Methods for determining the presence or amount of feline pancreatic lipase in a biological sample. The methods include using standards or calibrators of recombinant feline pancreatic lipase to quantify the lipase in a sample. Devices and kits for performing methods for detecting feline pancreatic lipase in biological samples.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2010Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: IDEXX Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Philip Andersen, Melissa Jane Beall, Jesse Buch, Ku-chuan Hsiao, Stacey Pazar Huth, Eugene Regis Krah, III, Barbara O'Brien, Marilyn Strong-Townsend

Publication number: 20110129864Abstract: Disclosed is a method for identifying lymphatic disease and disease states in mammals. The method uses a multi-angle light scatter flow cytometer to diagnose and treat mammals. The method includes collecting lymph node aspirate from a mammal; scanning the lymph node aspirate in a flow cytometer to generate a diagnostic scan; comparing the diagnostic scan to a known normal scan; identifying differences between the diagnostic scan and the known normal scan; and identifying similarities between the diagnostic scan and known disease scans to identify a cause of lymphadenopathy. Graphical representations of leukocyte identification are generated as a result of the scanning process. By using the graphs, a veterinarian or technician is able to diagnose the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2009Publication date: June 2, 2011Applicant: IDEXX LABORATORIES, INC.Inventors: Melissa Jane Beall, James W. Russell
