Cathleen A. Coss 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).

  • oocyst protein
    Patent number: 7741063
    Abstract: Recombinant proteins have been developed for the detection of Toxoplasma gondii oocyst proteins for example in biological fluids. Isolated DNA sequences which encode these proteins have also been developed. The DNA sequences may be inserted into recombinant DNA molecules such as cloning vectors or expression vectors for the transformation of cells and the production of the proteins.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2009
    Date of Patent: June 22, 2010
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
    Inventors: Dolores Hill, Dante S Zarlenga, Cathleen Coss, Jitender P Dubey

  • Assay for perkinsus in shellfish
    Publication number: 20020137917
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to oligonucleotides used as amplification primers and assay probes for species-specific detection and identification of the protozoan Perkinsus in shellfish. The oligonucleotides are designed to preferentially hybridize to what has been found to be a species-unique sequence in the target organism's genome. Preferential hybridization means, for example, that the inventive primers amplify the target sequence in P. marinus with little or no detectable amplification of target sequences of other species of protozoa such as P. atlanticus thereby making the assay species specific.
