It has also been discovered that certain antibodies that bind to the alpha subunit of sodium potassium ATPase dramatically increase enzyme activity. There has never before been a report of precise activation sites or drug interaction sites for sodium potassium ATPase. Certain methods have also been discovered for treating or preventing diseases associated with low sodium potassium ATPase activity by administering antibodies, antibody fragments and small molecules that bind to the activation sites on the alpha subunit of sodium potassium ATPase.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Inventor: Kai Yuan Xu -
Patent number: 9416160Abstract: A bacterial macromolecular complex produced by bacteria belonging to the Bifidobacterium longum strain deposited according to the treaty of Budapest under number CNCM I-3994 with the Collection Nationale de Cultures de Microorganismes (CNCM) [National Collection of Microorganism Cultures], consisting of chains combining a lipoprotein and an oligosaccharide, wherein: the lipoprotein has a molecular weight of from 30 kDa to 60 kDa; the oligosaccharide has a molecular weight of less than 15 kDa, and preferably less than 10 kDa; the lipoprotein component, which consists of all the lipoproteins of each of the chains, represents from 75 to 99%, preferentially from 80 to 98%, more preferentially from 85 to 95% by weight of the total weight of the complex, and the oligosaccharide component, which consists of all the oligosaccharides combined with each of the chains, represents from 1 to 25%.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2011Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: BIFINOVEInventors: Jean-Pierre Blareau, Michel Colavizza, Frederic Huguet, Charles Romond
