  • Immunogenic hybrid protein OprF-OprI derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa membrane proteins
    Patent number: 5955090
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hybrid protein comprising the Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane protein I (OprI) which is fused with its amino terminal end to the carboxy-terminal end of a carboxy-terminal portion of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane protein F (OprF), as well as to monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies against this hybrid protein. Both, the hybrid protein and the antibodies directed to the hybrid protein confer protection against an infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa to laboratory animals or man.

  • Structural phosphoprotein (PP150) of human cytomegalovirus, and the preparation and use thereof
    Patent number: 5846733
    Abstract: The phosphorylated structural protein of molecular weight about 150 kd (pp 150) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is highly immunogenic and is reliably recognised by human antisera. This protein can, after assignment and sequencing of the gene, be prepared, in whole or in immunogenic sections, by gene manipulation. Proteins of this type are suitable as reagents, for example in an ELISA, and as constituents of vaccines.

  • Method for degrading nucleic acids in waste fermentation solutions with Paecilomyces lilacinus
    Patent number: 5369029
    Abstract: A method for degrading nucleic acids in a waste fermentation solution is disclosed. The method comprises exposing the waste solution to RNases and/or DNases released by autolysis of and/or secreted from Paecilomyces lilaninus which are present in or added to the waste solution. The fermentation of the microorganism occurs under sterile conditions. The microorganism can be transformed with nuclease-encoding genes and added to the waste solution before fermentation. The preferred strain of Paecilomyces lilacinus is DSM 5650.
