      Hook, Magnus; Xu, Yi; Sillanpaa, Jouko V.; Sthanam, Narayana; Ponnuraj, Karthe; Patti, Joseph M.; Hutchins, Jeff T.; Hall, Andrea; Bowden, Maria G. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2010-12-14)
      A bioinformatic method is provided for identifying and isolating proteins with MSCRAMM®—like characteristics from Gram positive bacteria, such as Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Bacillus bacteria, which can ...
    • Decorin binding protein compositions and methods of use 
      Guo, Betty P.; Hook, Magnus (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2001-06-19)
      Disclosed are the dbp gene and dbp-derived nucleic acid segments from Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiological agent of Lyme disease, and DNA segments encoding dbp from related borrelias. Also disclosed are decorin binding ...
    • Decorin binding protein essential peptides and methods of use 
      Hook, Magnus A.; Brown, Eric L. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2003-02-11)
      Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, expresses on its surface a decorin binding protein, DbpA and DbpB. Lysine residues necessary for DbpA binding to decorin and DbpA peptides containing these critical ...
    • Fibronectin binding protein compositions and methods of use 
      Hook,Magnus; Patti, Joseph M.; House-Pompeo, Karen L.; Speziale, Pietro; Joh, Danny; Mcgavin, Martin J. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2004-02-03)
      Disclosed are antibodies that block the binding of fibronectin protein to fibronectin. Also disclosed are site specifically-mutated and truncated peptide epitopes derived from the fnbA and fnbB genes of Staphylococcus ...
