International Classification:

G06F 1760

US Classification:

705 1

Abstract:

The functions and operations of a matching service are disclosed. This includes approximating the satisfaction that a user of the matching service has in the relationships that the user forms with others and identifying candidates for a relationship with the user based on the approximated satisfaction. This also includes approximating the satisfaction that the user will have in a relationship with a particular candidate. The matching service also identifies two parties for a relationship. The matching service makes available a plurality of communication levels at which the parties can communicate. Each communication level allows the parties to exchange information in a different format. The parties are permitted to exchange information at one of the communication levels.

Filed:

Oct 4, 1989

Appl. No.:

7/415555

Inventors:

Thomas F. Parsons - Arcadia CA

Assignee:

International Genetic Engineering, Inc. - Santa Monica CA

International Classification:

A61F 228
A61K 3532
A61K 3712
C07K 1520

US Classification:

424423

Abstract:

The present invention provides an osteogenically active protein preparation characterized by a molecular weight of from about 31,000 to 34,000 daltons as characterized comprising a subunit identical to or homologous to a subunit in P3 OF 31-34, by non-reducing sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by the characteristic of eluting from a reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography column equilibrated with buffers containing trifluoroacetic acid and acetonitrile by eluting within the concentrations of 35% to 45% acetonitrile. The invention further provides improved methods for isolating such preparations and genes encoding all or a portion of polypeptide subunits of dimers comprising the osteogenic protein preparation.

Thomas F. Parsons - Arcadia CA

International Classification:

C12P 2106

US Classification:

435 694

Abstract:

The present invention provides osteogenically active protein preparations comprising a heterodimer of P3 OF 31-34 subunit B and P3 OF 31-34 subunit D, which subunits are linked with at least one disulfide bond and methods for their preparation. The invention further provides cell lines transformed with nucleotide sequences encoding P3 OF 31-34 subunit B and P3 OF 31-34 subunit D and vectors comprising those sequences in operative association with an expression control sequence.
