| 7322927 | Hybrid phthalocyanine derivatives and their uses Water soluble hybrid phthalocyanine derivatives useful in competitive and noncompetitive assays immunoassays, nucleic acid and assays are disclosed and claimed having (1) at least one donor subunit with a desired excitation peak, and (2) at least one acceptor subuni... | 01/29/2008 |
| 7189515 | Human antibodies as detection reagents The invention provides in vitro methods of detection using human antibodies. The methods are particularly useful for analyzing human samples containing HAMA or heterophilic antibodies. A human antibody can bind to an analyte in such samples without binding to HAMA o... | 03/13/2007 |
| 7135287 | Human antibodies The invention uses the power of display selection methods to screen libraries of human immunoglobulin genes from nonhuman transgenic animals expressing human immunoglobulins. Such screening produces unlimited numbers of high affinity human antibodies to any target o... | 11/14/2006 |
| 7083984 | Hybrid phthalocyanine derivatives and their uses Water soluble hybrid phthalocyanine derivatives useful in competitive and noncompetitive assays immunoassays, nucleic acid and assays are disclosed and claimed having (1) at least one donor subunit with a desired excitation peak; and (2) at least one acceptor subuni... | 08/01/2006 |
| 6991907 | Methods for the assay of troponin I and T and complexes of troponin I and T and selection of antibodies for use in immunoassays Antibodies and methods are described for the detection and quantitation of cardiac specific troponin I in samples. Cardiac-specific troponin isoforms exist in various forms in the blood, including free and complexed forms. By selecting antibodies that are insensitiv... | 01/31/2006 |
| 6967107 | N-aryl-carbamic acid ester-derived and valeric acid ester-derived cross-linkers and conjugates, and methods for their synthesis and use The present invention describes carbamic acid ester-derived and valeric acid ester-derived polyfunctional cross-linker molecules, and methods for their synthesis and use. The inclusion of polymeric moieties such as poly(alkylene oxide) in the cross-linkers of the pr... | 11/22/2005 |
| 6964844 | Hybrid phthalocyanine derivatives and their uses Water soluble hybrid phthalocyanine derivatives useful in competitive and noncompetitive assays immunoassays, nucleic acid and assays are disclosed and claimed having (1) at least one donor subunit with a desired excitation peak; and (2) at least one acceptor subuni... | 11/15/2005 |
| 6939678 | Methods for the assay of troponin I and T and complexes of troponin I and T and selection of antibodies for use in immunoassays Assay systems and specialized antibodies for the detection and quantitation of troponin I and troponin T in body fluids as an indicator of myocardial infarction. Since troponin I and T exist in various conformations in the blood, the ratios of the monomeric troponin... | 09/06/2005 |
| 6905882 | Diagnostic devices and apparatus for the controlled movement of reagents without membranes The assay devices, assay systems and device components of this invention comprise at least two opposing surfaces disposed a capillary distance apart, at least one of which is capable of immobilizing at least one target ligand or a conjugate in an amount related to t... | 06/14/2005 |
| 6887952 | N-aryl-carbamic acid ester-derived and valeric acid ester-derived cross-linkers and conjugates, and methods for their synthesis and use The present invention describes carbamic acid ester-derived and valeric acid ester-derived polyfunctional cross-linker molecules, and methods for their synthesis and use.
