| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5891742 | Affinity selection of ligands by mass spectroscopy Compounds are quickly selected from a combinatorial library by contacting the library with a target (e.g., receptor), separating non-binding compounds from compound-target complexes, and analyzing the complexes or eluted compound by mass spectroscopy. SAR... | 04/06/1999 |
| 5863719 | Methods for detecting hepatitis C virus using polynucleotides specific for same A new virus, Hepatitis C virus (HCV), which has proven to be the major etiologic agent of blood-borne NANBH, was discovered by Applicant. Reagents for isolating, amplifying, and detecting HCV polynucleotides are provided. These reagents are oligomers cont... | 01/26/1999 |
| 5827648 | Differential hybridization for relative quantification of variant populations This invention relates to a method of measuring the relative populations of first and second variants of a target nucleotide sequence of a target genome in a sample utilizing an amplification step, followed by probing with first and second variant probes ... | 10/27/1998 |
