Title: Gwen Grabowski Krivi: Biotechnology and Livestock Genetics Inventor.
Introduction
Gwen Grabowski Krivi is an inventor associated with Frontenac, Missouri. Her patent work spans biotechnology and livestock genetics, including methods for studying human leukotriene C₄ synthase and identifying bovine genetic markers linked to milk production. She is named on 2 patents.
Latest Patents
One of Krivi’s patents concerns nucleic acids and expression vectors encoding human leukotriene C₄ synthase. The disclosed DNA and vectors support research and assay methods for detecting inhibitors of the enzyme. The patent also describes nucleic acid probes for identifying relevant complementary or genomic DNA, along with antisense oligonucleotides and analogs intended to inhibit enzyme production in viable cells.
Another patent describes allelic variants of the bovine somatotropin gene as genetic markers associated with increased milk production. Its assay determines an animal’s genotype at a polymorphism corresponding to amino acid position 126. The patent explains that the preferred marker varies by breed: homozygous leucine forms are identified for Holstein cattle, while homozygous valine forms are identified for Jersey cattle. The disclosed approach can help guide breeding or milking selection, and the patent also provides for an assay kit.
