  • Vivo isotopic labeling method for quantitative glycomics
    Patent number: 9329169
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of isotopically labeling glycans and in facilitating high throughput quantitative/comparative analysis of glycomic compositions of biological cells. The method is applicable inter alia for identifying differentiated cells and their glycomic characteristics, differentiation conditions, disease and/or therapeutic progression, diagnosing disease states, determining drug activity, establishing manufacturing efficiencies and for determining the half-life of glycans in cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 29, 2008
    Date of Patent: May 3, 2016
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC

  • PLANTS WITH ALTERED GLUCURONOXYLAN METHYL TRANSFERASE ACTIVITY AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20140331363
    Abstract: Provided herein are plants having altered glucuronoxylan methyl transferase (GXMT) activity, including reduced GXMT activity. In one embodiment the plant is a transgenic plant. Also provided herein are methods for using such plants, including methods for processing a part of a plant to result in a pulp, methods for hydrolyzing a pulp, and methods for producing a metabolic product. Further provided herein is plant material from a plant having altered GXMT activity, and pulp from a plant having altered GXMT activity.
