  • Production of herpes simplex viral porteins
    Patent number: 4891315
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the cloning and expression of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV type 1 or type 2) glycoprotein (gD) gene in single-cell host organisms. Also described are methods for culturing these novel single-cell organisms to produce HSV-gene products. The HSV gD-related polypeptides produced by the recombinant DNA techniques described herein may be formulated for use as immunogens in vaccines to protect against HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 1983
    Date of Patent: January 2, 1990
    Assignee: American Cyanamid Company
    Inventors: Roger J. Watson, John H. Weis, Lynn W. Enquist

  • Co-aggregate purification of proteins
    Patent number: 4673641
    Abstract: Methods are provided for stabilization and purification of proteins produced in host cell systems. The methods provide for significant stabilization of any unfused non-bacterial protein that is produced in the same host cell that is producing an aggregate-forming fusion protein or any aggregate-forming protein.
