Patents by Inventor Guoping Feng

Guoping Feng 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).

  • Nucleic acids encoding drosophila tipE cation channel proteins and recombinant expression of the same
    Patent number: 5593862
    Abstract: The present invention provides for the isolation of genomic fragments from Drosophila melanogaster encoding tipE protein, which protein is required for expression of functional voltage dependent cation channels. A positional cloning coupled with transformation strategy was used to identify and isolate the tipE gene. A cDNA corresponding to the gene encoding tipE is also provided and characterized. In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a functional voltage dependent cation channel. Methods for making and using the cation channel are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 4, 1994
    Date of Patent: January 14, 1997
    Assignee: Research Foundation of State University of New York
    Inventors: Linda M. Hall, Guoping Feng
  • Process for functional expression of the para cation channel
    Patent number: 5593864
    Abstract: DNAs encoding voltage-activated cation channels have been cloned and characterized. The cDNA's have been expressed in recombinant host cells which produce active recombinant protein. The recombinant protein is also purified from the recombinant host cells.
