Jeannette Chloe Bulinski 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).

  • Protein conjugates containing multimers of green fluorescent protein
    Patent number: 6596475
    Abstract: This invention provides a vector comprising a nucleic acid which encodes a polypeptide of interest linked to one or more nucleic acid segments encoding at least two Green Fluorescent Proteins. Provided is the method for detecting a polypeptide of interest in a living cell which comprises: (a) transfecting the living cell with an isolated nucleic acid which encodes the polypeptide of interest linked to at least two Green Fluorescent Proteins. Additional polypeptides different from the polypeptide of interest may also be linked to at least two molecules of Green Fluorescent Protein; (b) culturing the transfected cell in conditions permitting expression of Green Fluorescent Protein and the polypeptide of interest; and (c) detecting the fluorescence of the Green Fluorescent Protein, thereby detecting the polypeptide of interest in a cell.
