Patents by Inventor Kuniyo Inouye

Kuniyo Inouye 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).

  • Patent number: 8900814
    Abstract: The present invention provides a versatile mutant reverse transcriptase with high thermal stability, a nucleic acid thereof and a method for producing a mutant reverse transcriptase, a versatile kits for reverse transcription and detection, a method for improving thermal stability of a nucleic acid-related enzyme, which significantly improves thermal stability of a nucleic acid-related enzyme, and a reverse transcription method, which efficiently performs a reverse transcription. An amino acid residue in a nucleic acid interaction region of a wild-type enzyme is substituted with a positively-charged amino acid residue or a nonpolar amino acid residue, to form a nucleic acid interaction region having a positive effective charge larger than the nucleic acid interaction region of a wild-type enzyme.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2011
    Date of Patent: December 2, 2014
    Assignee: Kyoto University
    Inventors: Kiyoshi Yasukawa, Kuniyo Inouye

  • Patent number: 5013445
    Abstract: A method for separating immunoglobulin G subclasses, which comprises separating immunoglobulin G subclasses by liquid chromatography by using as the solid phase a porous gel having an exclusion limit molecular weight larger than the molecular weight of immunoglobulin G, as calculated as protein, and a buffer solution having an ionic strength of from 0.1 to 2.0M.
