Enzymatic Method for Accelerating Fermentation of Comestible Products
Process for the Production of Biologically Aotive Peptide via the Expression of Modified Storage Seed Protein Genes in Transgenic Plants
Fung Kansas State University US 5486367; January 23, 1996 An improved, short process for fermentation of comestible products which enhances the growth of operative microorganisms in a fermentation system and consequently reduces the required incubation time. The process involves inoculating a given fermentation system containing a starting food ingredient substrate and fermentative microorganism(s) with an amount of an oxygen-reactive enzyme.
Expression of the Developmental I Antigen by a Cloned Human cDNA Encoding a Member of a Beta-1,6-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase Gene Family Bierhuizen et al. La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation US 5484590; January 16, 1996 An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding both a soluble and membrane-bound human beta- 1,6-i+acetylglucosaminyltransferase, the l-branching enzyme.
Bacteria Method of Determining Propensity of Dissolved Oxygen Instability swartz Genentech, Inc. US 5487980; January 30, 1996 A process for producing a polypeptide of interest from fermentation of bacterial host cells involving nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide. In this method, the host cells employed have an inactivated electron transport chain.
Boneman et al. Plant Genetic Systems NV US 5487991; January 30, 1996 A process for producing a polypeptide by cultivating a plant whose genome contains a recombinant DNA. The recombinant DNA includes: a) a first DNA sequence which encodes a precursor of a 2 S albumin; and b) a heterologous second DNA sequence that encodes the polypeptide and is inserted into, or replaces at least in part, a hypervariable region of the first DNA between codons which code for fourth and fifth cysteine residues of the large subunit of the 2 S albumin.
Vaccines Produced and Administered through Edible Plants Amtzen et al. Edible Vaccines, Inc. US 5484719; January 16, 1996 An oral vaccine produced in edible transgenic plants and then administered through the consumption of the edible portion of those plants. A DNA sequence encoding for the expression of a surface antigen of a pathogen is isolated and ligated to a promoter which can regulate the production of the surface antigen in a transgenic plant. This gene is then transferred to plant cells using a procedure that results in its integration into the plant genome such as through the use of an Agrobacterium tumenfaciens plasmid vector system.
Immunology Antibodies to Human Papillomavirus Latent Proteins, Diagnostic Systems and Methods
Method of Producing Trehalose by Microorganisms Which Can Produce Tremalose with Sucrose or Maltose as the Main Carbon Source
Dillner et al. Scripps Research Institute US 5486453; January 23, 1996 Polypeptides that immunologically mimic papillomavirus latent proteins and antibodies and monoclonal antibodies that immunoreact with papillomavirus latent proteins.
Kotani et al. Ajinomoto Co., Inc. US 5484714; January 16, 1996 A method of producing trehalose in which a microorganism belonging to the genus Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium, Microbacterium, or Arthrobacter and having the ability to produce trehalose is incubated in a liquid medium containing sucrose or maltose as an essential carbon source and the trehalose produced and accumulated in the culture is collected therefrom.
Devices and Kits for Immunological Analysis Gordon et al. Ciba-Geigy Corporation US 5486452; January 23, 1996 New devices and kits for solid-phase immunoassays including a solid porous support preferably in the form of a sheet where antigens or immunoglobulins or both are bound by direct application in any suitable geometry, e.g., as an assay of dots or lines.
