Appl. No.:

09/134014

Inventors:

Wilhelm Gruissem - Berkeley CA
John Jelesko - San Jose CA
Masaki Furuya - Tokyo, JP

Assignee:

The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA

International Classification:

C12N 1582

US Classification:

800278, 800288, 800294, 800306, 435 8, 435 697, 435430, 4354301, 435463, 435468, 435469

Abstract:

The present invention provides novel methods for modifying target nucleotide sequences in a plant cell through the use of homologous recombination. The plant cell is transformed with a DNA construct comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a fusion polypeptide comprising a polypeptide sequence of interest linked to a reporter sequence.

International Classification:

C07K 1600
G01N 33536
G01N 33543
G01N 33577

US Classification:

435 77

Abstract:

Receptors are disclosed that are antibodies that exhibit a binding affinity for an immune complex of a monoepitopic antigen and an antibody for such antigen that is substantially greater than the binding affinity for the monoepitopic antigen or the antibody for the monoepitopic antigen apart from the immune complex. Normally, the monoepitopic antigen has a molecular weight less than 1500 and is an organic compound. The antibodies of the present invention find use in a method for determining a monoepitopic antigen in a sample suspected of containing such antigen. The method comprises forming an immune sandwich complex comprising the monoepitopic antigen or an analog thereof, a first monoclonal antibody that binds to the monoepitopic antigen, and a second monoclonal antibody that is an antibody of the present invention and detecting the immune sandwich complex. Compositions of matter and kits for use in conducting an assay in accordance with the invention as well as methods for producing the above receptors are also disclosed.

US Classification:

Abstract:

Receptors are disclosed that are antibodies that exhibit a binding affinity for an immune complex of a monoepitopic antigen and an antibody for such antigen that is substantially greater than the binding affinity for the monoepitopic antigen or the antibody for the monoepitopic antigen apart from the immune complex. In one embodiment the receptors are antibodies prepared against an affinity-labeled complex of an antigen and an antibody for the antigen. Normally, the monoepitopic antigen has a molecular weight less than 1500 and is an organic compound. The antibodies of the present invention find use in a method for determining a monoepitopic antigen in a sample suspected of containing such antigen. The method comprises forming an immune sandwich complex comprising the monoepitopic antigen or an analog thereof, a first monoclonal antibody that binds to the monoepitopic antigen, and a second monoclonal antibody that is an antibody of the present invention and detecting the immune sandwich complex. Compositions of matter and kits for use in conducting an assay in accordance with the invention as well as methods for producing the above receptors are also disclosed.
