Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 99 words
An isolated DNA sequence encoding an osteoinductive protein said DNA sequence comprising a coding sequence selected from the group consisting of (a) nucleotide #1 through nucleotide #387 of figure I, (b) nucleotide #356 through nucleotide #1543 of figure II, (c) Nucleotide #402 through nucleotide #1626 of figure III, (d) naturally occurring allelic sequences and equivalent degenerative codon sequences of (a), (b), and (c); and (e) sequences which (1) hybridize to any of sequences (a), (b), (c), or (d) under stringent hybridization conditions; and (2) encode a protein characterized by the ability to induce the formation of bone and/or cartilage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 99 words
An isolated DNA sequence encoding an osteoinductive protein said DNA sequence comprising a coding sequence selected from the group consisting of (a) nucleotide #1 through nucleotide #387 of figure I, (b) nucleotide #356 through nucleotide #1543 of figure II, (c) Nucleotide #402 through nucleotide #1626 of figure III, (d) naturally occurring allelic sequences and equivalent degenerative codon sequences of (a), (b), and (c); and (e) sequences which (1) hybridize to any of sequences (a), (b), (c), or (d) under stringent hybridization conditions; and (2) encode a protein characterized by the ability to induce the formation of bone and/or cartilage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
A vector comprising a DNA sequence of claim 1 in operative association with an expression control sequence for said DNA sequence.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
A host cell transformed with the vector of claim 2 said host cells selected from the group consisting of mammalian, bacterial, yeast and insect cells.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 39 words
A method for producing an osteoinductive protein, said method comprising the steps of (a) culturing in a suitable culture medium said transformed host cell of claim 3; and (b) isolating and purifying said osteoinductive protein from said culture medium.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
The host cell of claim 4 wherein said host cell is a mammalian cell.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 21 words
The host cell of claim 4 wherein said cells are selected from the group consisting of bacterial, yeast and insect cells.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 11 words
A mammalian host cell transformed with the vector of claim 2.
