  • Methods for treatment of multiple sclerosis using peptide analogs of human myelin basic protein
    Publication number: 20020176866
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward peptide analogs of human myelin basic protein. The peptide analog is at least seven amino acids long and derived from residues 83 to 99 of human myelin basic protein. The analogs are altered from the native sequence at least at positions 91, 95, or 97. Additional alterations may be made at other positions Pharmaceutical compositions containing these peptide analogs are provided. The peptide analogs are useful for treating multiple sclerosis.

  • Electrophoretically transferring electropherograms to nitrocellulose sheets for immuno-assays
    Patent number: 4452901
    Abstract: Solid supports for proteins consisting of nitrocellulose sheets containing a replica of an electropherogram of proteins as obtained by electrophoretic separation in a gel. Faithful replica of such electropherograms on the nitrocellulose support can be obtained by contacting the gel with a nitrocellulose sheet and applying an electric field perpendicular to the plane of the gel causing an electrophoretic migration of the proteins toward the nitrocellulose sheet where the proteins are adsorbed. Various analytical problems and especially immuno-assays, for enzyme immuno-assays or such involving radioactively labeled indicators, can be made with the new solid supports.
