Patents by Inventor Randall R. Reed

Randall R. Reed 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).

  • Olfactory receptor expression libraries and methods of making and using them
    Patent number: 7351814
    Abstract: This invention provides novel libraries of olfactory receptor odorant/ligand-binding domains and methods of making and using them. The invention also provides libraries of vectors and cells comprising these nucleic acid constructs. The compositions and methods of the invention are used to identify novel ligand-binding domains for olfactory neuron odorant receptors and their ligands. Thus, the compositions and methods of the invention can be used to generate novel odorants, to screen for toxic odorants, or to manipulate an animal's olfactory response.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 25, 2005
    Date of Patent: April 1, 2008
    Assignee: The Johns Hopkins University
    Inventors: Randall R. Reed, King-Wai Yau, Dietmar Krautwurst
