Patent number: 12203936Abstract: The present invention, in some aspects, relates to systems and methods for determining oxidized proteins, including glutathionylated proteins such as S-glutathionylated proteins. The systems and methods of the invention can be used in vitro (e.g., in cell or tissue culture) or in vivo, for example, to diagnose a person having an oxidative stress condition. For instance, in some cases, the invention can be used to spatially determine the location and/or concentration of oxidized proteins within cells and/or tissues (e.g., through visual detection).Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignees: Universiteit Maastricht, The University of Vermont and State Agricultural CollegeInventors: Yvonne M. Janssen-Heininger, Niki Reynaert

For instance, in some cases, the invention can be used to spatially determine the location and/or concentration of oxidized proteins within cells and/or tissues (e.g., through visual detection). In one set of embodiments, a glutathionylated or otherwise oxidized moiety on a protein may be reacted with a detection entity, which may be, for example, fluorescent, radioactive, electron-dense, able to bind to a signaling entity or a binding partner in order to produce a signal, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Applicants: The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, Universiteit MaastrichtInventors: Yvonne M.

Publication number: 20140140975Abstract: The present invention generally relates to treatments involving glutaredoxins. In one aspect, systems and methods of the invention can be used to treat a subject having an oxidative stress condition, for example, airway inflammation or asthma. In some embodiments, a glutaredoxin may be used to treat a subject. Also provided in certain aspects of the present invention are kits for therapies involving glutaredoxins, methods for promoting such therapies, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicants: Universiteit Maastricht, The University of Vermont and State Agricultural CollegeInventors: Yvonne M.

Patent number: 8053243Abstract: The present invention, in some aspects, relates to systems and methods for determining oxidized proteins, including nitrosylated proteins such as S-nitrosylated proteins. The systems and methods of the invention can be used in vitro (e.g., in cell or tissue culture) or in vivo. For instance, in some cases, the invention can be used to spatially determine the location and/or concentration of oxidized proteins within cells and/or tissues (e.g., through visual detection). In one set of embodiments, a nitrosylated or otherwise oxidized moiety on a protein may be reacted with a detection entity, which may be, for example, fluorescent, radioactive, electron-dense, able to bind to a signaling entity or a binding partner in order to produce a signal, etc. In some embodiments, other moieties on the protein may be altered or blocked before reaction of the protein with the detection entity.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2005Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: The University of Vermont and State Agricultural CollegeInventors: Yvonne M. Janssen, Albert van der Vliet, Karina Ckless, Niki Reynaert
