Latest Patents
Sivaramakrishnan holds a patent for "Macrophage cytotoxin compositions and methods of preparation." This invention provides a cytotoxin composition that inhibits mitochondrial respiration and causes cytostasis in cells, independent of nitric oxide. The invention comprises a conditioned supernatant derived from a macrophage cell line (EA13.5) that inhibits mitochondrial respiration and causes cytostasis in cells. More particularly, the invention comprises a macrophage cytotoxin obtained from conditioned supernatant collected from cultured EA13.5 cells. This macrophage cytotoxin (1) inhibits mitochondrial respiration, (2) causes cytostasis independent of L-arginine derived nitric oxide, and (3) is a weakly acidic glycoprotein with a pI of about 7.5 to 8.0. The invention also discloses a method for producing an L-arginine-derived nitric oxide-independent macrophage cytotoxin by culturing EA13.5 cells, adding IFN-.gamma. and lipopolysaccharide to trigger secretion of the macrophage cytotoxin into the conditioned supernatant, collecting the conditioned supernatant, and isolating the macrophage cytotoxin from the conditioned supernatant. Furthermore, it describes a method for producing a nitric oxide-independent macrophage cytotoxin that inhibits mitochondrial respiration independent of L-arginine from cultured rodent macrophages. Sivaramakrishnan has 1 patent to his name.
