Diagnostic Detection Of Nucleic Acids

View page
US Patent:
6344317, Feb 5, 2002
Filed:
Oct 3, 1997
Appl. No.:
08/943607
Inventors:
Howard B. Urnovitz - San Francisco CA
Assignee:
Chronix Biomedical, Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
C12Q 168
US Classification:
435 6, 435 912, 536 235, 536 241, 536 2431, 536 2432, 536 2433
Abstract:
This invention provides sensitive nucleic acid hybridization assay methods for the detection of target human nucleic acids in a biological sample, such as acellular fluids. The methods are particularly useful in early diagnosis of chronic illnesses.

View page
US Patent:
7368243, May 6, 2008
Filed:
Jul 8, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/178246
Inventors:
Ekkehard Schuetz - Gottingen, DE
Leonid Iakoubov - San Ramon CA, US
Howard Urnovitz - Iowa City IA, US
Assignee:
Chronix Biomedical - San Jose CA
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
C12P 19/34
C07H 21/02
C07H 21/04
US Classification:
435 6, 435 912, 536 231, 536 243

Methods For Generating An Mrna Expression Profile From An Ecellular Mrna Containing Blood Sample And Using The Same To Identify Functional State Markers

View page
US Patent:
20030036077, Feb 20, 2003
Filed:
May 31, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/161101
Inventors:
Alex Chenchik - Palo Alto CA, US
Leonid Iakoubov - Pleasanton CA, US
Howard Urnovitz - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Chronix Biomedical - Benecia CA
International Classification:
C12Q001/68
C07H021/02
C12P019/34
US Classification:
435/006000, 536/023100, 536/024300, 435/091200
Abstract:
Methods for generating an mRNA expression profile are provided. In the subject methods, a population of nucleic acid targets is first generated from an acellular blood sample that contains a plurality of distinct mRNAs, i.e., a disease specific particular blood fraction. The resultant nucleic acid targets are hybridized to an array of nucleic acid probes to obtain an mRNA expression profile. The subject mRNA expression profiles are useful in the identification of disease specific markers. In such applications, the mRNA expression profiles are compared to a control expression profile to identify disease specific markers, where the identified markers subsequently find use in diagnostic applications. The subject methods also find use in diagnostic applications, where the mRNA expression profile is compared to a reference in making a diagnosis of the presence of a disease condition. Finally, kits for use in practicing the various methods are provided.
