  • Vector system for selection of genes encoding secreted proteins and membrane-bound proteins
    Patent number: 7112434
    Abstract: The subject invention concerns novel vectors for the rapid and robust selection for cDNA sequences that encode secreted or membrane-bound proteins. The invention also pertains to methods for cloning secreted or membrane-bound proteins, including proteins encoded by novel members of gene families.
    Type: Grant

  • DNA vector for determining the presence of out-of-reading-frame mutations
    Patent number: 6284496
    Abstract: A DNA expression vector for positively selecting in-frame or out-of-reading-frame mutations in DNA sequences to be tested comprising a promotor operatively linked to an expressible reporter gene through a linkage sequence is disclosed. The linkage sequence includes at least two restriction sites and an engineered frameshift mutation. In an embodiment the frameshift is established by complementary sequences SEQ ID Nos:1 and 2. The expressible reporter gene is expressed as a fusion product including a green fluorescent protein and the promoter can be lacZ and inducible in E. coli.
