  • Patent number: 9079969
    Abstract: This invention describes soluble, monovalent, non-natural protein molecules that can activate NK cells and certain T-cells to attack specific cellular target cells by attaching the NKG2D-binding portions of monovalent MICA or MICB protein, i.e. their ?1-?2 platform domain, to the intended target cell specifically. The ?1-?2 domain is contiguous with a heterologous ?3 domain that has been genetically modified to bind directly or indirectly to the extracellular aspect of the target cell, thereby serving as the targeting domain. The genetic modification to create a non-natural and non-terminal targeting motif within the ?3 domain can include a portion of an antibody, another protein molecule or portion thereof, a peptide, or a non-natural, modified ?3 domain of a MIC protein.

  • Patent number: 8673291
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to the discovery and isolation of the entire cluster of genes encoding R-type high molecular weight bacteriocins that specifically kill Clostridium difficile bacteria, dangerous human pathogens. Also disclosed are methods of producing the R-type bacteriocins in innocuous producer cells that, unlike C. difficile, do not die in the presence of oxygen. Disclosed also is the specific gene of the isolated gene cluster that determines the killing spectrum of the R-type bacteriocin and the demonstration that the killing spectra of diffocins can be altered by engineering orf1374 of the diffocin genetic locus. This invention offers a potent bactericidal agent and a means to make it in order to kill selectively C. difficile bacteria in the environment of the gastrointestinal tract where they can cause great harm and even death of the infected patient or farm animal.

  • Patent number: 8673553
    Abstract: Recombinant P4 bacteriophage containing modified tail fibers having a base plate attachment region (BPAR) from a P2 bacteriophage gene H product and a heterologous receptor binding domain (RBD) are disclosed. Methods for the use of the recombinant P4 bacteriophage, such as to detect the presence of a target bacterium in a sample, are also described.
