5156955
assigned
to
American
The present invention relates to a nucleotide and amino acid sequence of a 30 kilodalton outer membrane protein of Bordetella pertussis. The invention also relates to host cells and vectors comprising the nucleotide sequence, as well as a vaccine composition comprising the substantially pure protein.
NUCLEOSIDE OXIDASE AND ASSAY METHOD UTILIZING SAME Yoshikaz Isono, Masami Hoshino, Otsu, Japan assigned to Otsuka Foods Co Ltd The present invention provides a novel nucleoside oxidase YT-1 serving as an enzyme for catalyzing oxidation reaction of a nucleoside, and oxidase being characterized in that the oxidase causes the nucleoside to react with molecular oxygen to produce a nucleoside-5’carboxylic acid via a nucleoside-5’-aldehyde without producing hydrogen peroxide, a process for producing the enzyme, a novel microorganism having ability to produce the enzyme, and a novel analysis or assay method for nucleosides and the like utilizing the enzyme.
5156959 METHOD TO EXPORT GENE PRODUCTS TO THE GROWTH MEDIUM OF GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA Lars Abrahmsen, Tomas Moks, Bjorn Nilsson, Mathias Uhlen, Stockholm, Sweden assigned to KabiGen AB A process for expressing proteins in Gram(-) bacteria and providing for extracellular secretion thereof, comprising the steps: a) introducing
