Title: Sytems and methods for improving livestock production
Inventor: BAUCK STEWART WILLIAM
IPC: G16B20/20
Filed: 2005-04-06
Abstract: A computer assisted method for tracking and correlating of breeding, veterinary care, and phenotypic data generated by SNP-based genotypesand performance data relating to livestock animals (105, 107, 108). The methods incorporate the generation of genotypic profiles by using panels of SNPs that define phenotypic traits. The method can allow the operator to be alerted by deviation of the actual performance parameters from desired performances so that feed, medications, vaccinations, husbandry conditions, food safety etc.  of the animals may be adjusted or corrected accordingly. Such method include obtaining and maintaining the data obtained from each animal, and optionally other data relating to the animal's health (110), condition or parentage, or to its herd, and providing this data to others through web-based systems (112), contained in a database, or attached to the animal itself such as by an implanted microchip.

Title: Antibody for assay of adamts13 activity and method for assaying the activity
Inventor: KATO SEIJI
IPC: C07K16/18
Filed: 2006-01-26
Abstract: It is intended to provide an antibody, especially monoclonal antibody, useful for the determination of ADAMTS13 activity, and provide a method of determining the activity of ADAMTS13. Further, it is intended to provide a monoclonal antibody that exhibits specific reactivity to any antigen determinant site occurring when ADAMTS13 is caused to act on a partial peptide of VWF able to become a substrate or VWF as a substrate but has no specific reactivity to complete VWF molecules, and to provide a usage of the antibody.  These have been achieved by success in obtaining of a monoclonal antibody (anti-N-10 monoclonal antibody) having specific reactivity to cleavage site at which a partial peptide of VWF is specifically cut by ADAMTS13 and by finding of a method of determining the ADAMTS13 activity by the use of this monoclonal antibody.
