Patents by Inventor Mark E. Von Zastrow

Mark E. Von Zastrow 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).

  • Multi-gene expression profile
    Patent number: 7049102
    Abstract: This invention relates to the use of promoters for ribonucleic acid amplification and other genetic manipulations. Processes are provided wherein complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) is synthesized from a ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequence using a complementary primer linked to an RNA polymerase promoter region complement and then anti-sense RNA (aRNA) is transcribed from the cDNA by introducing an RNA polymerase capable of binding to the promoter region. Additional processes using the resulting aRNA are also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 15, 2000
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2006
    Assignee: Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford University
    Inventors: Russell N. Van Gelder, Mark E. Von Zastrow, Jack D. Barchas, James H. Eberwine
