Title: Isolation, characterization, and protein sequencing of the growth hormone releasing hormone receptor and cloning of a gene encoding for the growth hormone releasing hormone receptor
Inventor: THORNER MICHAEL OLIVER
IPC: C12N/
Filed: 1993-09-14
Granted: 1996-10-31
Abstract: Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor binding has been characterized using a unique binding assay utilizing iodinated GHRH probes. Photoaffinity GHRH probes have been constructed which allow for photolabeling and characterization of the receptor. In addition, high affinity biotinylated GHRH analogs have been constructed. Solubilization of GHRH-R/GHRH complexes and extraction of specifically bound GHRH using a mild detergent solution, followed by affinity chromotography, leads to a substantially purified GHRH-R isolate. Electrophoretic treatment of the GHRH-R isolate produces GHRH-R of sufficient purity to conduct sequencing of the receptor. Cloning of a gene encoding for polypeptides (protein or fragments thereof) having GHRH-R activity is accomplished using a bacterial host, and the cloned gene is expressed in a mammalian cell line.

Title: Enhanced nucleic acid amplification process
Inventor: MALEK LAWRENCE T
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1990-08-23
Granted: 1994-03-24
Abstract: This invention relates to an improved process for amplifying a specific nucleic acid sequence. The process involves synthesizing single-stranded RNA, single-stranded DNA and Double-stranded DNA. The single-stranded RNA is a first template for a first primer, the single-stranded DNA is a second template for a second primer, and the double stranded DNA is a third template for synthesis of a plurality of copies of the first template. A sequence of the first primer or the second primer is complementary to a sequence of the specific nucleic acid and a sequence of the first primer or the second primer is homologous to a sequence of the specific nucleic acid. The improvement of the amplification process involves the addition of DMSO alone or in combination with BSA, which improves the specificity and efficiency of the amplification. The amplification process may be used to increase the quantity of a specific nucleic acid sequence to allow detection, or to increase the purity of a specific nucleic acid sequence as a substitute for conventional cloning methodology.
