Patents by Inventor Jeffrey R. Brashear

Jeffrey R. Brashear 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).

  • Patent number: 8835120
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes immunoassays for detecting cardiac troponin-T (cTnT) in a test sample, and in particular immunoassays and kits for detecting cTnT in a test sample suspected of containing substances that may interfere with the determination of cTnT, such as heterophilic endogenous antibodies and autoantibodies to cTnT. The methods use more than one capture phase antibody and more than one detection antibody to improve specificity, and provide for the use of humanized immunoreagents to overcome heterophilic antibody interferences.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 2009
    Date of Patent: September 16, 2014
    Assignee: Abbott Laboratories
    Inventors: Maciej Adamczyk, Jeffrey R. Brashear, Phillip G. Mattingly
  • Patent number: 8183002
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides immunoassays and kits for detection or quantification of an analyte of interest in a test sample that potentially contains endogenously produced autoantibodies reactive with the analyte.

  • Publication number: 20110129854
    Abstract: Assays are disclosed for diagnosing a clinical condition, assessing risk or predicting an outcome as a result of cardiac myocyte damage. Immunoassay methods and kits provide for the assessment of cardiac myocyte damage by determining the presence of multiple cardiac myocyte antigens in a test sample, and combining the multiple determinations in a single assay result.
