Patents by Inventor Steven M. Chamow

Steven M. Chamow 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: 5929211
    Abstract: The invention provides heterobifunctional cross-linking reagents and methods of using the cross-linking reagents. The cross-linking reagents of the invention combine a nucleophilic hydrazide residue with an electrophilic maleimide residue, allowing coupling of aldehydes to free thiols. In the methods of the invention, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected cells can be detected using conjugates that include CD4 molecules conjugated to detectable markers via the disclosed cross-linking reagents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 4, 1997
    Date of Patent: July 27, 1999
    Assignee: Genentech, Inc.
    Inventors: Avi J. Ashkenazi, Steven M. Chamow, Timothy P. Kogan
