Ingap Protein Involved In Pancreatic Islet Neogenesis

US Patent:
5840531, Nov 24, 1998
Filed:
Sep 9, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/709662
Inventors:
Aaron I. Vinik - Norfolk VA
Gary L. Pittenger - Virgina Beach VA
Ronit Rafaeloff - Chesapeake VA
Lawrence Rosenberg - Montreal, CA
William P. Duguid - Montreal, CA
Assignee:
MoGill University
Eastern Virginia Medical School of the Medicine College of Hampton Roads - Norfolk VA
International Classification:
C12N 1500
US Classification:
435 691
Abstract:
Cellophane wrapping (CW) of hamster pancreas induces proliferation of duct epithelial cells followed by endocrine cell differentiation and islet neogenesis. Using the mRNA differential display technique a cDNA clone expressed in cellophane wrapped but not in control pancreata was identified. Using this cDNA as a probe, a cDNA library was screened and a gene not previously described was identified and named INGAP.

High Level Of Expression Of Ingap In Bacterial And Euraryotic Cells

US Patent:
5804421, Sep 8, 1998
Filed:
Aug 12, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/909725
Inventors:
Aaron I. Vinik - Norfolk VA
Gary L. Pittenger - Virginia Beach VA
Scott W. Barlow - Norfolk VA
Assignee:
Eastern Virginia Medical School of the Medical College fo Hampton Roads - Norfolk VA
International Classification:
C12N 1500
US Classification:
435 691
Abstract:
Removal of the nucleotide sequence encoding the signal peptide from the INGAP coding sequence allows cultured cells to express substantial amounts of INGAP activity. Previous attempts have provided only low yields of INGAP, possibly because the signal sequence of INGAP is toxic to the cells.
