Lilian Parra-Gessert 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).

  • Methods for making polynucleotides and purifying double-stranded polynucleotides
    Publication number: 20050130156
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for identifying and purifying double-stranded polynucleotides lacking base pair mismatches, insertion/deletion loops and/or nucleotide gaps. The invention provides libraries of nucleic acid building blocks and methods for generating any nucleic acid sequence, including synthetic genes, antisense constructs and polypeptide coding sequences. The invention provides chimeric antigen binding molecules and the nucleic acids that encode them.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 14, 2003
    Publication date: June 16, 2005
    Inventors: Gerhard Frey, Jay Short, Lilian Parra-Gessert
  • Fluorescent proteins, nucleic acids encoding them and methods for making and using them
    Publication number: 20040180378
    Abstract: The invention is directed to polypeptides having a fluorescent activity, e.g., an auto-fluorescent activity, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, and methods for making and using these polynucleotides and polypeptides. The polypeptides of the invention can be used as noninvasive fluorescent markers in living cells and intact organs and animals. The polypeptides of the invention can be used as, e.g., in vivo markers/tracers of gene expression and protein localization, activity indicators, fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) markers, cell lineage markers/tracers, reporters of gene expression and as markers/tracers in protein-protein interactions.
