Magnetotactic Bacteria Mri Positive Contrast Enhancement Agent And Methods Of Use

View page
US Patent:
20100135912, Jun 3, 2010
Filed:
Nov 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/627299
Inventors:
Sanjiv S. Gambhir - Portola Valley CA, US
Michael Benoit - Menlo Park CA, US
A. C. Matin - Stanford CA, US
Yoram Barak - Menlo Park CA, US
Shay Keren - Haifa, IL
Dirk Mayer - Menlo Park CA, US
International Classification:
A61K 49/08
C12N 1/20
US Classification:
424 932, 4352521
Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is enhanced by contrast agents such as superparamagnetic iron-oxide (SPIO) particles that resemble magnetite particles produced by magnetotactic bacteria. AMB-1 produces positive MRI contrast when generating ultrasmall magnetite particles (10-40 nm diameter). Positive MRI contrast permits clearer distinction from image voids compared to negative contrast. T1-weighted MRI showed that such bacteria increased positive contrast 2.2-fold (p

International Classification:
C12P 7/04
C12N 9/02
C12N 9/16
C12N 15/70
Abstract:
The invention generally relates to the production of a fatty alcohol composition from recombinant microbial cells. The fatty alcohols are produced by expressing a gene encoding a heterologous fatty alcohol forming acyl-CoA reductase (“FAR”); a gene encoding a heterologous thioesterase (“TE”) gene and a gene encoding an acyl-CoA synthetase (“ACS”).
