  • Method of measuring binding activity of ligand-binding protein having poor chemical stability to first ligand
    Publication number: 20040028679
    Abstract: A method for assaying the binding activity of a first ligand to a chemically less stable ligand-binding protein, comprising immobilizing a second ligand that binds to the ligand-binding protein at a binding site distinct from the binding site of the first ligand to the ligand-binding protein, binding the protein to the second ligand, and then measuring the binding activity of the first ligand to the protein via surface plasmon resonance.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: February 12, 2004
    Inventors: Masaya Kakuta, Mikako Tsuchiya
  • Mammalian guanine nucleotide binding protein with an ADP-ribosylation factor domain
    Patent number: 5514600
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for detecting the presence of ARD 1 protein in a sample. The method includes the steps of providing labeled or immobilized anti-ARD 1 antibody in a reaction zone, introducing sample into the reaction zone such that ARD 1 protein in the sample, if present, will react with said antibody to form an immunological complex, and detecting the formation of said immunological complex. Cells, nucleotide and amino acid sequences and vectors associated with ARD 1 are also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 1994
    Date of Patent: May 7, 1996
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services
    Inventors: Joel Moss, Koichi Mishima, Maria S. Nightingale, Mikako Tsuchiya
