Method for Purifying Cholera Toxin.’’

This patent has been assigned to the

United States Government as

represented by the Secretary of the

Army.

ADDRESSES: Commander, U.S. Army

Medical Research and Materiel

Command, Command Judge Advocate,

MCMR–JA, 504 Scott Street, Fort

Detrick, MD 21702–5012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Charles Harris, Patent Attorney,

301–619–7807, Fax 301–619–5034.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A new

affinity purification method has been

developed that can be used to purify

cholera toxin (CT) and the B subunit of

CT. In addition to purifying the native

CT, it can be used to purify chemical

conjugates or genetically engineered

fusion proteins composed of CTB. This

purification procedure is highly

selective, since it can be used to purify

CT but not the closely related heat-labile

enterotoxin of Escherichia coli. This

procedure is extremely fast and simple

to perform, resulting in an extremely

pure preparation. The affinity matrix is

available commercially and can be used

repeatedly without loss of affinity or

resolution.

Alternate Army Federal Register Liaison

Officer.

affairs, and academic methods of the

Naval Academy. During this meeting

inquiries will relate to the internal

personnel rules and practices of the

Academy, may involve on-going

criminal investigations, and include

discussions of personal information the

disclosure of which would constitute a

clearly unwarranted invasion of

personal privacy. The executive session

of this meeting will be closed to the

public.

Monday, May 4, 1998 from 8:30 a.m. to

12:00 p.m. The executive session of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice of meeting is provided per the

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5

U.S.C. App. 2). The executive session of

the meeting will consist of discussions

of information which pertain to the

conduct of various midshipmen at the

Naval Academy and internal Board of

Visitors matters. Discussion of such

information cannot be adequately

segregated from other topics, which

precludes opening the executive session

of this meeting to the public. In

accordance with 5 U.S.C. App. 2,

section 10(d), the Secretary of the Navy

has determined in writing that the

special committee meeting shall be

partially closed to the public because

they will be concerned with matters as

outlined in section 552(b)(2), (5), (6),

and (7) of title 5, United States Code.

Due to unavoidable delay in the

administrative process of preparing for

this meeting, the normal 15 days notice

could not be provided.

Dated: April 28, 1998.

Commander, Judge Advocate General’s Corps,
