  • Publication number: 20220112522
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method to convert H2 and CO2 into methane by methanogenic microorganisms in a bioreactor in a continuous production process for methane enriched gas compositions, while culturing the methanogenic microorganisms under cell retention conditions and continuously removing metabolic water in the cell culture medium.

  • Publication number: 20080060093
    Abstract: The invention is generally related to methods of generating plants transformed with novel autonomous mini-chromosomes. Mini-chromosomes with novel compositions and structures are used to transform plants cells which are in turn used to generate the plant. Methods for generating the plant include methods for delivering the mini-chromosome into plant cell to transform the cell, methods for selecting the transformed cell, and methods for isolating plants transformed with the mini-chromosome. Plants generated in the present invention contain novel genes introduced into their genome by integration into existing chromosomes.

  • Publication number: 20070089201
    Abstract: This invention provides for the plant production of immunoglobulins, wherein at least a portion of the glycans attached to the immunoglobulins lack fucose. The invention also provides the constructs; plasmids; vectors; transformed plant cells, transformed plant calli; transformed plant tissues (e.g., leaves, seeds, tubers, etc.); transformed whole plants used to produce such immunoglobulins; methods of producing the immunoglobulins; the immunoglobulins produced by the disclosed methods; and the use of such immunoglobulins.

  • Publication number: 20060105396
    Abstract: Targeting molecules are provided for use in delivering imaging agents to epithelial tissue. The targeting molecule comprises a polypeptide that forms a closed covalent loop, contains at least three peptide domains having ?-sheet character, each of the domains being separated by domains lacking ?-sheet character. The targeting molecule specifically binds to a basolateral factor attached to a basolateral domain of an epithelial cell surface causing internalization of a linked imaging agent into the cells. The polypeptide or imaging agent may be linked to a peptide amino acid sequence that directs delivery of the imaging agent to a carcinoma cell, a nucleus, or an endoplasmic reticulum.

  • Publication number: 20050241023
    Abstract: The present invention relates to expression and assembly of foreign multimeric proteins—e.g., antibodies—in plants, as well as to transgenic plants that express such proteins. In one of several preferred embodiments, the generation and assembly of functional secretory antibodies in plants is disclosed. The invention also discloses compositions produced by the transgenic plants of the present invention and methods of using same.
