Patents by Inventor Lawrence Goodridge

Lawrence Goodridge 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).

  • Bacteriophage linked immunosorbent assay for rapid, sensitive detection of multiple analytes
    Patent number: 7276332
    Abstract: The invention is a method for the development of a platform that enables the efficient and simultaneous creation of multiple detection assays. The invention entails the use of any bacteriophage, modified to carry a reporter gene, to which any analyte-recognizing moiety is attached via the capsid. The modified bacteriophage is used to attach to the target analyte. This attachment is identified via bacteriophage amplification in a helper bacteria strain with subsequent production and detection of the reporter gene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 2, 2007
    Assignee: University of Wyoming
    Inventor: Lawrence Goodridge
  • Template reporter bacteriophage platform and multiple bacterial detection assays based thereon
    Patent number: 7244612
    Abstract: The invention is a method for the development of assays for the simultaneous detection of multiple bacteria. A bacteria of interest is selected. A host bacteria containing plasmid DNA from a T even bacteriophage that infects the bacteria of interest is infected with T4 reporter bacteriophage. After infection, the progeny bacteriophage are plating onto the bacteria of interest. The invention also includes single-tube, fast and sensitive assays which utilize the novel method.
