PATENT ABSTRACTS

5401638 DETECTION AND QUANTIFICATION OF NEU RELATED PROTEINS IN THE BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS OF HUMANS Carney Walter P; McKenzie Sara J North Andover, MA, UNITED STATES Assigned to Oncogene Science Inc This invention relates to a substantially purified pl00 which is a human neu related protein having a molecular weight in the range from about 97,000 daltous to about 115,000 daltons which corresponds substantially to the extracellular domain of the human neu gene product, said protein being detectable in a biological fluid. In another embodiment this invention relates to assays for detecting this protein. Finally, this invention also concerns monoclonal antibodies which are capable of binding to pl00.

5401648 PEPTIDES HAVING PEPTIDYL TRANSFERASE INHIBITING ACTIVITY AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF Lovett Paul S Baltimore, MD, UNITED STATES Assigned to University of Maryland College Park 5-mer and 8-mer polypeptides have been demonstrated to inhibit peptidyl transferase and according constitutes synthetic antibiotics. Identified, sequence-specific peptides effective include Met-Val-Lys-Thr-Asp (SEQ ID NO: 1), Met-Lys-Lys-Ala-Asp (SEQ ID NO: 2), Met-LysLys-Ser-Glu (SEQ ID NO: 3) and Met-Ser-ThrSer-Lys-Asn-Ala-Asp (SEQ ID NO: 4) The polypeptides can be used as antibiotics, alone or together with a carrier.

A method for culturing insect cells using fish serum. The method uses serum extracted from the blood of fish to culture insect cells for various purposes. The technique has the key advantages of consistent quality, low cross reactivity, safety from infectious agents that would endanger researchers or humans and animals receiving cell culture products as therapy and has appropriate nutrients to maintain the growth of insect cells. Fish serum is used together with designated defined medium to allow insect cells to grow and populations to be maintained. The method may also be used to prevent the attachment of insect cells to cultureware. Serum is derived from the blood of captive stocks of fishes raised under control conditions.

5401709 ANTIBIOTIC AB-041 DERIVED FROM STREPTOMYCES SP. NCIMB 40428, HERBICIDAL COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS OF USE Andriollo Nunzio; Scacchi Alessandro; Borgonovi Giorgio E; Cassani Giorgio; Sisera Silvia; Guglielmetti Gianfranco; Pirali Giorgio; Confalonieri Giovanni Bollate, ITALY Assigned to Ministero dell Universita e della Ricerea Scientifica e Tecuologica The antibiotic AB-041 is described, obtained by controlled aerobic cultivation of Streptomyces sp. NCIMB 40428 in an aqueous culture medium. The antibiotic AB-041 exhibits biological activity, and in particular herbicidal activity.

5401777 USE OF PREPARATIONS OF CURCUMA PLANTS Ammon H P T; Safayhi Hasan; Okpanyi Samuel GERMANY Assigned to Steigerwald Arzneimittelwerk GmbH The invention relates to the use of preparations of the plant Curcuma longa or other curcumincontaining plants, curcumin or curcumin derivatives for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of
