Bennett W. Baugher 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 to measure immunosuppressive tacrolimus, sirolimus, and cyclosporin a complexes in a blood sample
    Patent number: 7923210
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, diagnostic assays, and diagnostic kits based on said methods, to determine levels of immunosuppressive complexes containing immunosuppressive drugs tacrolimus, sirolimus and cyclosporine A separately and in combination, formed in the blood of a drug-treated patient or in a patient candidate to immunosuppressive drug therapy. These methods, assays and kits are especially useful when using automated systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 12, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2011
    Assignee: Abbott Laboratories
    Inventors: Susan M. Drengler, Bennett W. Baugher

  • Analyte-substitute reagent for use in specific binding assay methods, devices and kits
    Patent number: 5501985
    Abstract: Assay reagents, devices, methods and kits used in the analysis of low molecular weight analytes which by themselves are too small or unable to bind to two specific binding members at the same time. The invention involves the use of an analyte-substitute reagent (ASR) comprising at least two components, the first of which is identical to or an analog of the analyte to be determined, while the second is an unrelated ligand for which an antibody or other specific binding member can be obtained or produced.
    Type: Grant
