View page
US Patent:
8647825, Feb 11, 2014
Filed:
Jan 10, 2011
Appl. No.:
12/987425
Inventors:
Kent E. Vrana - Hummelstown PA, US
Willard M. Freeman - Hershey PA, US
Kathleen A. Grant - Portland OR, US
Steve Gonzales - Beaverton OR, US
Assignee:
The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA
International Classification:
G01N 33/53
A61K 49/00
US Classification:
435 71, 424 91
Abstract:
Methods and compositions according to embodiments of the present invention are provided that specifically and sensitively detect alcohol consumption and whether alcohol consumption is moderate or high in a subject. Aspects of the present invention relate to assays of panels of proteins for detecting non-consumption, moderate consumption and high consumption of ethanol by a subject.

Systems And Methods For Selection And Maintenance Of Homogeneous And Pluripotent Human Embryonic Cells

View page
US Patent:
20070111306, May 17, 2007
Filed:
Nov 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/557791
Inventors:
Ugar Salli - Hummelstown PA, US
Mark Kester - Harrisburg PA, US
Kent Vrana - Hummelstown PA, US
International Classification:
C12N 5/08
C12N 5/10
US Classification:
435325000, 435366000, 977902000
Abstract:
A number of human disorders are characterized by degeneration or loss of specific cells, resulting in pathology associated with reduction or absence of cell function. Such diseases include neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes. Methods are described for obtaining a substantially homogeneous population of undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells including incubating a population of human embryonic stem cells with an amount of a selection agent. The selection agent is effective to reduce or eliminate differentiated embryonic stem cells from the population of cells such that a substantially homogeneous population of undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells is obtained. The substantially homogeneous population of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells may be produced without use of feeder cells.
