  • ATTENUATING DYE FOR INTERROGATING MULTIPLE SURFACES, AND METHOD THEREOF
    Publication number: 20130157378
    Abstract: A device including a shallow chamber for analyzing a plurality of target analytes in a body fluid using the signal generated by fluorescent detector molecules each specific for a target analyte, an attenuating dye for attenuating the signal emitted by fluorescent detector molecules specifically bound to the surfaces of the chamber other than an optically clear surface, and method for determining the signal generated by each of the plurality of analytes.
    Type: Application

  • Selective amplification of target polynucleotide sequences
    Patent number: 6410276
    Abstract: A method is provided for multiplying the number of copies of a target polynucleotide sequence comprising a series of primer hybridization, extending, and denaturing steps to provide an intermediate double-stranded DNA molecule containing a promoter sequence (through the use of a promoter-sequence-containing primer) incorporated upstream from the target sequence. The double-stranded DNA intermediate is then used to grow multiple RNA copies of the target sequence. The resulting RNA copies can be used as target sequences to produce further copies. Multiple cycles of this sort can thereby exponentially increase the number of target sequence copies.
    Type: Grant

  • P30 peptides of Toxoplasma gondii
    Patent number: 5859196
    Abstract: Genetic material encoding p30 and B1 peptides of Toxoplasma gondii has been isolated and characterized. This genetic material allows the production of peptides for use in diagnosis or immunization or can itself be directly used in hybridization assays.
