Protein Biomarker For Mustard Chemical Injury

View page
US Patent:
6753155, Jun 22, 2004
Filed:
Jan 14, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/482604
Inventors:
Prabhati Ray - Potomac MD
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01N 33573
US Classification:
435 74, 435212, 435219, 435220, 435 681, 435 692, 424 92, 530412
Abstract:
This invention relates to the discovery that toxicity to mustard may be evaluated by diagnostic test means disclosed herein. Upon electrophoretic separation (sodium dodocyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)) of buffered extract of human skin cells (normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK)) which had been exposed to mustard-type chemical compounds a band at approximately 50,000 to 80,000 daltons molecular weight was found. The protein band constitutes a biomarker.

US Patent:
61241083, Sep 26, 2000
Filed:
May 13, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/855268
Inventors:
Prabhati Ray - Potomac MD
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01N 33573
US Classification:
435 74
Abstract:
This invention relates to the discovery that toxicity to mustard may be euated by diagnostic test means disclosed herein. Upon electrophoretic separation (sodium dodocyl sulfate polyacryl-amide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)) of buffered extract of human skin cells (normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK)) which had been exposed to mustard-type chemical compounds a band at approximately 50,000 to 80,000 daltons molecular weight was found. The protein band constitutes a biomarker. The marker protein can be used either to raise protective antibodies to protect against the protease or may be used in a kit for identifying presence or absence of the marker in study of tissues taken from individuals who may have been exposed to mustard poisoning.
