Patents by Inventor Curtis R. Altmann

Curtis R. Altmann 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).

  • Assays and materials for embryonic gene expression
    Publication number: 20020081610
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for detecting differential expression of embryonic gene products known to play a fundamental role in the embryonic developmental process using nucleic acid arrays containing Xenopus embryonic gene sequences as set forth in Appendix 1. This allows the detection of the expression of differentially expressed genes in embryonic cells, for diagnosing developmental disorders or identifying different types of embryonic cells.

  • Lens transcriptional control elements and methods of use thereof
    Patent number: 6337392
    Abstract: The present invention discloses nucleic acids containing transcriptional control elements that are lens transcriptional control elements. One such lens transcriptional control element is exemplified by the control element of the Pax-6 gene. Methods of using these lens transcriptional control elements for drug assays, diagnostics and for identifying transcription factors involved in lens development are also disclosed.
