| 20120070908 | IMMUNO CONJUGATE AND PROCESS FOR PREPARATION THEREOF - Present invention deals with a new immuno-reagent comprising hapten (MPAD)-protein-gold for pesticides detection. The conjugate MPAD-protein-gold competes with the analyte of interest for a finite number of binding sites provided by anti-atrazine antibodies coated on nitrocellulose membrane. The newly developed conjugate has a long shelf life with high stability at 4° C. The dynamic concentration range for standard atrazine solutions shows a linear inhibition (decrease in intensity of color) between 10 ppb to 1 ppm atrazine in water samples. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20120028295 | SYNERGISTIC COMPOSITION USEFUL AS MICROBIOLOGICAL GROWTH MEDIUM FOR RAPID SCREENING OF PHOSPHATE ACCUMULATING MICROORGANISMS - Screening isolates for phosphate accumulation by quantitative methods requires investment of time, labour and chemicals. There has been paucity of a medium and method for screening phosphate-accumulating microorganisms (PAOs) from the environment. Therefore, a new screening strategy is needed towards isolating effective PAOs in environments with diverse microbial populations and limited organic resources, where it is possible that PAOs are often out-competed by organisms capable of utilising available nutrients more rapidly. In view of these problems, a medium optimal for an efficient screening of P-accumulating microorganisms was developed, which is rapid and allows many PAOs to be screened. Thus, the present invention utilizes Toluidine Blue-O (TBO) a blue coloured dye, which decolorizes due drop in the concentration of phosphate in the medium, as an indicator to quickly evaluate the P-accumulating microorganisms based upon visual observations. Fast decolorization of the dye is an indicator of a superior phosphate accumulating microbe. Therefore, colorimetric reaction using PAM-TBO of the present work was further applied in a novel, extremely high-throughput manner to detect individual microbial isolates, growing on a PAM Petri plate. Adaptation of PAM-TBO assay in screening PAOs in environmental samples for microtitre plate assay enhanced the effectiveness of the assay system efficiently and effectively. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20110076702 | RECOMBINANT 12-KDA PROTEIN USEFUL FOR THE DETECTION OF RESPIRATORY ALLERGIES - The present invention discloses the detection of an important 12K-Da protein having cross-reactivity amongst different prevalent allergenic grasses and fungi can be useful for detection of respiratory allergies. Conventionally, the whole extracts that are used for diagnosis are unable to specifically detect the causative agents. In addition, they are also responsible for additional non-specific sensitivities in patients to other components present in the extract. If a single cross-reactive protein is available, it can replace large number of extracts used for detection of raised IgE levels in allergy by ELISA, immunoblotting and the likes. Further, number of pricks would be reduced and this would benefit both patient and clinicians. It is further realized that production of such a protein by recombinant methods can lead to its availability in pure form and bulk amounts required for routine diagnosis. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20100075868 | METHOD FOR DEVELOPING A TISSUE PROTEOME LIBRARY - The present invention relates to the description of an approach for developing tissue proteome library, which overexpresses all the transcripts (mRNAs) present in a given tissue. Transcripts of interest present in a tissue are normally cloned and overexpressed individually to enable purification of expressed protein and for conducting its structure-function studies. Methods for identification of novel and low abundant transcripts present in tissues are not available, particularly of specimen tissue samples, oocytes and early embryos, for which tissue availability is also a serious limitation. Expression of all the transcripts present in a tissue and comparison of the profile of total expressed protein with that of appropriate controls can be used in identification of all and particularly novel transcripts present in a tissue. This novel proteome library construction approach enables expression of all the transcripts present in a tissue just in one go and analysis of all the expressed proteins employing proteomics and/or other suitable approaches. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20100016414 | TARGETS FOR HUMAN MICRO RNAS IN AVIAN INFLUENZA VIRUS (H5N1) GENOME - The present invention relates to targets for Human microRNAs in Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1) Genome and provides specific miRNA targets against H5N1 virus. Existing therapies for Avian flu are of limited use primarily due to genetic re-assortment of the viral genome, generating novel proteins, and thus escaping immune response. In animal models, baculovirus-derived recombinant H5 vaccines were immunogenic and protective, but results in humans were disappointing even when using high doses. Currently, two classes of drugs are available with antiviral activity against influenza viruses: inhibitors of the M2 ion channel, amantadine and rimantadine, and inhibitors of neuraminidase, oseltamivir, and zanamivir. There is paucity of information regarding effectiveness of these drugs in H5N1 infection. These drugs are also well known to have side effects like neurotoxicity. Thus there exists a need to develop alternate therapy for targeting the Avian flu virus (H5N1). The present invention addresses this need in the field. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20090306240 | PROCESS FOR SYNTHESIS OF TELECHELIC URETHANE ACRYLATE UV CURABLE PRE-POLYMERIC MATERIALS - The present invention involves the design of a radiation curable organic pre polymer resin material based on urethane acrylic linkage synthesized from the natural renewable resource cardanol or a derivative thereof, for coating application. These new molecules have a faster and better curing rate compared to the starting renewable resource—cardanol. This is brought about by the hydrogen bonding of the urethane linkage which leads to a pre organization of the molecules in such a way as to bring the cross linkable double bonds closer to each other. The present invention also involves a UV curable formulation of the above mentioned resins along with 2-10 parts by weight of a photopolymerization initiator. The resin, either in a formulation or alone turns into a cross linked film upon photopolymerization in presence of photoinitiator under a UV curable radiation source like a mercury vapor pressure lamp. | 12-10-2009 |

Such alcohols allow for synthesis of multifunctional crosslinkers such as acrylates, epoxies, and vinyl ethers and flame retardants such as >phosphates. The multifunctional alcohols or polyols can be used in polyurethanes and polycarbonates. The multifunctional crosslinkers can be used in optical coating and waveguide compositions to increase curing speed and crosslink density. The multifunctional phosphates can be used in flame resistant plastics as the highly pendant phosphorus containing phosphate non-halogen flame retardant additives. | 09-24-2009 |
