Recombinant Entamoeba Histolytica Lectin Subunit Peptides And Reagents Specific For Members Of The 170 Kda Subunit Multigene Family
US Patent:
6187310, Feb 13, 2001
Filed:
Sep 16, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/937236
Inventors:
Barbara J. Mann - Charlottesville VA
James M. Dodson - Charlottesville VA
William A. Petri - Charlottesville VA
James M. Dodson - Charlottesville VA
William A. Petri - Charlottesville VA
Assignee:
University of Virginia Patent Foundation - Charlottesville VA
International Classification:
A61K 39002, C07K 1444
US Classification:
4241851
Abstract:
The 170 kDa adhesin subunit of the Entamoeba histolytica Gal/GalNAc adherence lectin is encoded by members of a gene family that includes hgl1, hgl2 and a newly discovered gene, hgl3. The DNA and encoded protein sequences of the hgl genes are disclosed. A number of proteins and peptide fragments of the adhesin as well as other functional derivatives, preferably produced by recombinant methods in prokaryotic cells are disclosed. A preferred peptide for a vaccine composition corresponds to amino acids 896-998 of the mature 170 kDa lectin and contains the galactose- and N-acetylgalactosamine-binding activity of the native lectin. These compositions are useful as immunogenic vaccine components and as diagnostic reagents. Methods are provided for a vaccine comprising one or more peptides of the lectin to immunize subjects at risk for infection by E. histolytica.
Recombinant Entamoeba Histolytica Lectin Subunit Peptides And Reagents Specific For Members Of The 170 Kd Subunit Multigene Family
US Patent:
6165469, Dec 26, 2000
Filed:
Apr 29, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/569214
Inventors:
Barbara J. Mann - Charlottesville VA
William A. Petri - Charlottesville VA
William A. Petri - Charlottesville VA
Assignee:
University of Virginia - Charlottesville VA
International Classification:
A61K 39002
US Classification:
4241851
Abstract:
The adhesin 170 kDa subunit of Hm-1:IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica is encoded by a gene family that includes hgl1, hgl2 and a previously undescribed third gene, hgl3, for which the DNA and protein sequences are disclosed. All three of these heavy subunit genes were expressed in the amebae. Methods and reagents (both nucleic acid and immunological) which are specific for each of the genes, as well as reagents which detect common regions of all three hgl genes or their nucleic acid or protein products, are disclosed. Recombinantly produced heavy chain subunit of E. Histolytica Gal/GalNAc adherence lectin or an epitope-bearing portion thereof may be used as antigen in serological analysis for E. histolytica infection or as an immunogen for protection against infection. Recombinant production in procaryotic systems provides antigens or immunogens which are immunologically reactive.
Transfection Of Enteric Parasites
US Patent:
5665565, Sep 9, 1997
Filed:
Feb 13, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/387315

Assignee:
The University of Virginia Patent Foundation - Charlottesville VA
International Classification:
C12P 2106, C12N 1500, C12N 120, C07H 2104
US Classification:
435 691
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for expressing foreign genes in enteric protozoa. This transfection system was established using a gene ligated to the 5' and 3' flanking DNA regions of a protein-encoding gene from an enteric protozoa. The present invention also provides such transformed enteric protozoa, vaccines produced therefrom and foreign or altered proteins expressed in the same. The ability to introduce and express genes in amebae will now permit both genetic analysis and modification of the virulence of this organism, which remains a serious threat to world health and will facilitate basic research towards the control of this parasite.
