  • Antibody to carboxy-terminus of human herpesvirus 6 immediate early protein
    Patent number: 6103878
    Abstract: An antibody raised against an epitope of a peptide having an amino acid sequence selected from a group consisting of Leu Asp Gly Tyr Pro Ser Asp Tyr Asp Pro Phe Val Glu Asn Ala Gln Ile Tyr (SEQ ID NO:1) and Leu Asp Gly Tyr Pro Ser Asp Tyr Asp Pro Phe Glu Glu Asn Ala Gln Ile Tyr (SEQ ID NO:2) is advantageously used in an indirect immunoassay to detect the presence of active Human Herpesvirus-6 in a patient sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 26, 1998
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2000
    Assignee: Pel-Freez Rabbit Meat, Inc.
    Inventors: Gary L. Milburn, Robert E. Novy, Jr., Robert C. Mierendorf, Jr.
  • Recombinant rabbit tissue factor
    Patent number: 5858724
    Abstract: Recombinant rabbit tissue factor is cloned and produced in a bacterial host. This protein, which is relatively insoluble and has several disulfide bonds, requires special modifications in order to express and be purified at commercial levels. By expressing the tissue factor as a fusion protein with a bacterial enzyme, thioredoxin, solubility is increased. Use of a thioredoxin reductase deficient host aids in proper tertiary structure for biological activity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 16, 1996
    Date of Patent: January 12, 1999
    Assignee: Pel-Freez
    Inventors: Robert E. Novy, Jr., Michael J. Domanico, Keith W. Yaeger, Warren Kroeker
  • Human herpesvirus 6 detection assay
