Weining Jiang 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).

  • Cold-shock regulatory elements, constructs thereof, and method of use
    Patent number: 7429654
    Abstract: Regulatory elements of the 5?UTR of cold-shock inducible genes that prolong the expression of cold-shock inducible genes under conditions that elicit the cold-shock response in a bacterium, repress the expression of the cold-shock inducible genes under physiological conditions, or enhance the translation of cold-shock inducible genes under conditions that elicit a cold-shock response in bacteria; vectors incorporating these elements; and methods for expressing proteins.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 19, 2000
    Date of Patent: September 30, 2008
    Assignee: University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
    Inventors: Li Fang, Weining Jiang, Masanori Mitta, Masayori Inouye, Jean-Pierre Etchegaray, Kunitoshi Yamanaka
  • Methods of performing gene trapping in bacterial and bacteriophage-derived artificial chromosomes and use thereof
    Patent number: 6485912
    Abstract: A method of efficiently sequencing multiple exons from complex genomic DNAs is disclosed. The methodology includes the use of bacterial and bacteriophage-derived artificial chromosomes (BBPACS) in novel gene trapping protocols. Targeted gene trapping by homologous recombination, and random gene trapping with the use of a transposon system are exemplified. Included in the invention are methods of preparing a gene map from BBPAC contigs, the resulting gene maps, methods of constructing a cDNA library from BBPAC contigs, and the resulting cDNA libraries.

    Assignee: The Rockefeller University
    Inventors: Nathaniel Heintz, Weining Jiang, Xiangdong W. Yang
  • Nucleic acids sequence, stress-induced proteins and uses thereof
    Patent number: 6333191
    Abstract: A family of stimuli-induced in particular stress or cold-shock induced genes and proteins are disclosed which have conserved amino acid domains. Nucleic acid sequences of the genes and the promoters are also described. Various utilities of the promoters and of the proteins are disclosed.

  • Method and constructs for inhibiting protein expression in bacteria
    Patent number: 5981280
    Abstract: A method of inhibiting the translation of bacterial mRNA is disclosed, which method comprises overexpressing in a bacterium an mRNA which contains a sequence which is complementary to the anti-downstream box region of the 16S rRNA. RNA and DNA constructs for the overexpression of the mRNA of the invention are disclosed.
