I'm not on the list. I couldn't agree more about being extorted. Even Promega's price for Taq is extremely high when you consider how long it takes to purify that enzyme. From the published reports it looks like you can make about $2,000,000 (US) worth of Taq Pol (using Promega's discount price) or about $5,000,000 if you use PE prices, in about 2 days and the equipment is nothing. The list of names looks like they only went through a few selected journals, nothing I publish in. I just wonder how long the slide towards patent-and-sue, will continue in science. If Hoffman can make stand a Universal monopoly on use of any thermal stable polymerase and every possible use of PCR then we will all be paying massive tariffs and that will drive most of us out of the business. Money is too tight right now in funding sources without having the Taqs (Tax) Man raising the rates. //========================================================\\ ||Doug Rhoads || Dept. of Biological Sciences|| ||drhoads@mercury.uark.edu || 601 Science Engineering || ||drhoads@uafsysb.uark.edu || University of Arkansas || ||501-575-3251 || Fayetteville, AR 72701 || ==========================================================|| || My Dogma Just Got Run Over by Someone's Karma || \\========================================================// From owner-diagnostics@net.bio.net Sat Jun 03 23:00:00 1995 Newsgroups: bionet.diagnostics Path: biosci!bloom-beacon.mit.edu!gatech!howland.reston.ans.net!pipex!sasa.gov.uk!news From: odonnell@sasa.gov.uk (Kevin O'Donnell) Subject: Roche vs Promega Latest Organization: Scottish Agricultural Science Agency Date: Thu, 1 Jun 1995 13:15:57 GMT Message-ID: X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.91.6 Sender: news@jura.sasa.gov.uk (Usenet) Lines: 26 Scientists are getting caught in the cross-fire in the legal battle between Roche and promega over the taq polymerase (used in PCR)patent. Briefly, Promega are trying to get the patent overturned in the US because it is 'prior art' i.e. they maintain that taq had been described previous to the patent being granted to Cetus (who sold it to Roche). The latest thing is that Roche have compiled a list of over 200 US scientists in universities and laboratories who they say have acted illegally. The list seems to consist of people who have published papers in which the source of their taq was Promega. The full list is available on Promega's WWW page (http://www.promega.com) as are more details about the litigation. The European taq patent has been withdrawn, pending further investigation, partly as a result of the Promega action. I should say here that this info is distilled from the Promega press release which may not be the most objective source.

We are informed that Beckman no longer make the foil (57 x 145 mm) and have found another source (Merck markets the BDH product # 44319). This seemed to be the answer to our prayers (those who run electrophoresis will know that once you have a system that works - you hang on to it). However, we cannot get good clearing of the BDH membrane for densitometric scanning using the Methanol/Acetic Acid/Heat method that worked on the Beckman foils. We have contacted Merck repeatedly but they appear to have no interest in finding the answer. We have tried a variation of Methanol/Acetic acid concentrations as well as different temperatures - all to no avail. Is there anyone out there who has experience with this product who can advise us?

The topic I've been asked to cover is "ancillary reagents" which CBER defines as being used in the manufacture or preparation of the biologic, but not a component of the biologic. This might include cell culture media used to expand cells for ex vivo therapy or recombinant cytokines used in ex vivo therapy to modify cellular growth characteristics. In general, CBER appears to be taking a reasonable approach to trying to make these reagents available for clinical research. These "ancillary reagents" may also be viewed as devices and fall under the strict regulation of CDRH. It is illegal to promote the use of a "device" for an application which is not included in its approved labelling. The FDA typically requires manufacturers to perform due diligence that devices are not being promoted "off label." This was the basis for taking the Centocor 19.9 test off the market and the recent changes in the labelling and approval of monoclonal antibodies used in immunopathology. This is all despite the right of physicians to pretty much do as they please with respect to their own practice or hospital. Can anyone help me with specifics. I know there was a post here about a month ago on monoclonal antibodies which I didn't save - does anyone have a copy? Does anyone have any specific examples which I could use in my presentation?

My name is Phil Starks. I am a graduate student at Cornell University in the field of NeuroBiology and Behavior. I am currently examining paper wasps, specifically Polistes dominulus. I am evaluating their nesting behavior and population genetics. I want to compare animals from different regions -- mostly from the Northeast in areas between Boston, MA and Ithaca, NY. My problem is finding these critters. They tend to congregate in the eves of man-made structures. I have searched state parks and some universities but have only found 4 usable sites. A usable site is one that has been relatively undisturbed (not sprayed with insecticides) for a few years and contains 18 or more colonies. These wasps make un-enveloped nests -- you can plainly see the cells of the comb (it looks much like a gray honeycomb). P. dominulus is the more yellow and smaller of the 2 Polistes species in this region (P. fuscatus is dark brown and the larger of the two animals). At this time of year you may see colonies with anywhere from 1 to 10 individuals, and nests that may contain 8 to 100 cells. If you know of any potential sites please email me. I am offering a $20.00 finder fee for useful sites.

Date: 22 Jun 1995 03:27:30 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 28 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: Folks, I have recently reviewed an autoradiography study for an experimental compound. The control animals of the group received saline only. In viewing the slides of the skin from the control animals, there is an increased deposition of silver grains between dermal collagen bundles. These spaces between collagen bundles are either processing artifacts or regions of cutaneous glycosaminoglycan accumulation. Any thoughts on the non-specific deposition of silver grains in this area of skin (as well as increased non-specific deposition on hair shafts)? Is is possible that the high GAG content of these tissues would bind silver cations through electrostatic forces? Thanks in advance for any help.
