Patents by Inventor Ann Irma Alice Provoost

Ann Irma Alice Provoost 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).

  • Recombinant nucleic acid sequences and methods for determining both genotoxicity and mutagenicity of a sample and the kinetics of the genotoxicity
    Patent number: 6602666
    Abstract: A recombinant nucleic acid sequence comprising an SOS regulated promoter with an induction ratio higher than 40, said promoter being operatively linked to a reporter encoding nucleic acid sequence encoding a reporter resulting in a signal that can be assayed as light production. A biosensor comprising such a nucleic acid sequence and methods for determining genotoxicity and the presence of multiple genotoxic compounds using such a biosensor are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2001
    Date of Patent: August 5, 2003
    Assignee: Vlaamse Instelling Technologisch Onderzoek (V.I.T.O.)
    Inventors: Daniel Van Der Lelie, Brigitte Marie Francoise Borremans, Ann Irma Alice Provoost, Luc Agnes Louis Jean Bosco Regniers, Luc Philipinne Edouard Verschaeve
