Elizabeth M. Blackwood 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).

  • Nucleic acids encoding max: a helix-loop-helix zipper protein that forms a sequence-specific DNA-binding complex with Myc and Mad
    Patent number: 5693487
    Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules capable of hybridizing under stringent conditions to the nucleotide sequence of the max cDNAs shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2, or to the nucleotide sequence of the mad cDNAs shown in SEQ ID NO: 5. The Max polypeptide when associated with the Myc or Mad polypeptide is capable of binding to nucleotide sequences containing CACGTG.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 1, 1994
    Date of Patent: December 2, 1997
    Assignee: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
    Inventors: Elizabeth M. Blackwood, Robert N. Eisenman
  • Method of producing a Mad polypeptide
    Patent number: 5302519
    Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules capable of hybridizing under stringent conditions to the nucleotide sequence residing between positions 1 and 453 of the max cDNAs shown in FIG. 2, or to the nucleotide sequence residing between positions 148 and 810 of the mad cDNAs shown in FIG. 14. The Max polypeptide when associated with the Myc or Mad polypeptide is capable of binding to nucleotide sequences containing CACGTG.
