Kanaka R. Koduri 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).

  • Nonnatural apolipoprotein B-100 peptides and apolipoprotein B-100-apolipoprotein A-I fusion peptides
    Patent number: 5408038
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are described for determining the level of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in plasma. Native apoprotein B-100 (apo B-100) present in LDL particles is immunologically mimicked by a polypeptide of the invention. A polypeptide includes an amino acid residue sequence corresponding to a pan epitope region of the target apoprotein. A preferred polypeptide is a fusion protein that simultaneously mimics native apo B-100 and native apo A-I. Improved assay systems and methods for determining HDL and LDL levels in a body fluid sample are also described.
