  • Patent number: 9890201
    Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for simultaneously expressing amyloid precursor protein and TonB protein. For example, the biological devices and methods described herein increase the production of these two proteins while also reducing the cost, making these proteins more widely accessible for medical research purposes, including for the development of diagnostic tests for Alzheimer's disease. The amyloid precursor protein and TonB protein produced by the devices and methods described herein, as well as the devices themselves, can be used in experiments designed to model the interactions between metals and ?-amyloid that are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease.

  • Patent number: 9890203
    Abstract: The present invention relates to processes of obtaining Apo A-1 from an Apo A-1 containing protein fraction (A), comprising suspending—the Apo A-1 containing protein fraction (A) in a buffer solution (B), removing impurities from the suspension while keeping the Apo A-1 proteins solubilized, followed by precipitating Apo A˜I from the suspension and collecting the Apo A-1 precipitate. Apo A-I obtained by such processes, reconstituted HDL obtained from such Apo A-1, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such Apo A-I and/or reconstituted HDL also are provided.

  • Patent number: 9890205
    Abstract: A method of purifying a sample containing a desired protein includes the steps of (i) providing a packed chromatographic column having positively charged porous particles, (ii) equilibrating the column to the conditions to which the desired protein in the sample is to elute, (iii) contacting the sample with the packed chromatographic column such that the sample volume applied to the packed chromatographic column is less than or equal to the interparticle space of the positively charged porous particles within the packed chromatographic column, (iv) eluting the desired protein from the packed chromatographic column, where the desired protein is in a purer state and in the conditions to which the packed chromatographic column was equilibrated; where the desired protein is an antibody, an antibody fragment, an antibody derivative, or an antibody fusion protein.
