Patents by Inventor Alexander Boulgakov

Alexander Boulgakov has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230103041
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of identifying and quantifying the peptides displayed by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Such methods may comprise the ability to determine the type, identity, and quantity of each peptide displayed by the MHC. In some embodiments, these methods may be used to develop an anti-cancer therapy or type the HLA of a patient. Also provided herein are compositions comprising peptides from the MHC which have been prepared for sequencing.

  • Publication number: 20220091130
    Abstract: Identifying proteins and peptides, and more specifically large-scale sequencing of single peptides in a mixture of diverse peptides at the single molecule level is an unmet challenge in the field of protein sequencing. Herein are methods for identifying amino acids in peptides, including peptides comprising unnatural amino acids. In one embodiment, the N-terminal amino acid is labeled with a first label and an internal amino acid is labeled with a second label. In some embodiments, the labels are fluorescent labels. In other embodiments, the internal amino acid is Lysine. In other embodiments, amino acids in peptides are identified based on the fluorescent signature for each peptide at the single molecule level.
