Method And System For Biosynthesizing A Desired Biologically Useful Macromolecule In A Chlorella Cell And For Controlling Biosynthesis Thereof

US Patent:
6020156, Feb 1, 2000
Filed:
Mar 28, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/829613
Inventors:
Andrew Clive Cannons - Tampa FL
Hana Nenicka Dawson - Durham NC
Larry Paul Solomonson - Tampa FL
Assignee:
University of South Florida - Tampa FL
International Classification:
C12P 2102, C12N 113, C12N 1511, C12N 1579
US Classification:
435 691
Abstract:
Biosynthesis of a desired macromolecule includes inserting a promoter that encodes for an endogenously produced inducible macromolecule in a Chlorella cell into a DNA vector to form a first recombinant DNA vector. A cDNA sequence that encodes for the desired macromolecule is inserted into the first recombinant DNA vector to form a second recombinant DNA vector, which is then incorporated into the microalgae cell genome to form a transformed microalgae cell. Transcription and translation of the cDNA sequence are induced in the transformed microalgae cell to biosynthesize the desired macromolecule. Control of the method is achieved with the use of a mechanism effective in repressing an expression of the endogenously produced inducible macromolecule. Then, when desired, expression of the cDNA sequence may be induced by removing the repressing agent, thereby inducing a biosynthesis of the desired macromolecule.

Post Protein Hydrolysis Removal Of A Potent Ribonuclease Inhibitor And The Enzymatic Capture Of Dna

US Patent:
2013013, May 23, 2013
Filed:
Dec 21, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/725651
Inventors:
University of South Florida - Tampa FL, US
Philip Amuso - Tampa FL, US
Andrew Cannons - Tampa FL, US
Assignee:
University of South Florida - Tampa FL
International Classification:
C12Q 1/24
US Classification:
435 30
Abstract:
The present invention concerns compositions and methods of extracting infectious pathogens from a volume of blood. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of creating a fibrin aggregate confining the pathogens and introducing a fibrin lysis reagent to expose the pathogens for analysis. The present invention also concerns materials and methods for removing aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) from a sample.

Early Detection Of Pathogens In Blood

US Patent:
7998699, Aug 16, 2011
Filed:
Aug 15, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/604779
Inventors:
Matt Ewert - Seminole FL, US
Philip Amuso - Tampa FL, US
Andrew Cannons - Tampa FL, US
Assignee:
University of South Florida - Tampa FL
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68, C12Q 1/54, C12Q 1/02
US Classification:
435 29, 435 615, 435 14
Abstract:
The present invention is a method of extracting infectious pathogens from a volume of blood including the steps of creating a fibrin aggregate confining the pathogens and introducing a fibrin lysis reagent to expose the pathogens for analysis. The fibrin lysis reagent is preferably composed of plasminogen and streptokinase frozen in coincident relation until the fibrin lysis reagent is needed whereby streptokinase enzymatically reacts with plasminogen to form plasmin upon thawing. The plasminogen is suspended in an aqueous salt solution prior to freezing including NaCl and NaPO.
