Patents by Inventor Alan A. Dombkowski

Alan A. Dombkowski 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: 8765641
    Abstract: An antibody microarray screen including a substrate, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies that are purified immunoglobins, wherein the antibodies are spotted on predetermined positions on the substrate, and fluids unprocessed for immunoglobulin isolation (e.g., anti-sera, ascites fluids, or hybridoma culture media), wherein the unprocessed fluids are spotted on the predetermined positions on the substrate. Production of drug-metabolizing enzyme antibody microarrays containing closely related cytochromes P450 is disclosed. Methods of manufacturing an antibody microarray, an internal control molecule for use in an antibody microarray, a method of determining optimal spotting concentrations of IgG and a method to increase a detectable signal with microarray analysis are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2005
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2014
    Assignee: Detroit R&D, Inc.

  • Patent number: 6955876
    Abstract: The invention comprises compositions and systems to identify and compare expressed genes in a given in vivo or in vitro RNA sample, as well as the relative difference in mRNA expression between two or more samples, where desired. Furthermore, the invention comprises compositions and systems to identify novel genes. The invention comprises, without limitation, one or more mRNA specific identimers for use in reverse transcription that themselves comprise an oligo-T nucleotide sequence (at the 5? end) linked to a nucleotide sequence VNx (at the 3? end) where the V nucleotide immediately adjacent to the oligo-T segment is not a T.

Furthermore, the invention comprises compositions and systems to identify novel genes. The invention comprises, without limitation, one or more mRNA specific identimers for use in reverse transcription that themselves comprise an oligo-T nucleotide sequence (at the 5′ end) linked to a nucleotide sequence VNx (at the 3′ end) where the V nucleotide immediately adjacent to the oligo-T segment is not a T.
