Anne L. Wucherpfennig 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).

  • Human osteoclast-specific and -related DNA sequences
    Patent number: 6403304
    Abstract: The present invention relates to purified osteoclast-specific or -related DNA sequences and a method for identifying such sequences. DNA constructs capable of replicating osteoclast-specific or -related DNA and DNA constructs capable of directing expression in a host cell of osteoclast-specific or -related DNA are also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 19, 1996
    Date of Patent: June 11, 2002
    Assignee: Forsyth Dental Infirmary for Children
    Inventors: Philip Stashenko, Yi-Ping Li, Anne L. Wucherpfennig
  • Human ostoclast-specific and -related genes
    Patent number: 5656728
    Abstract: The present invention relates to purified DNA sequences encoding all or a portion of an osteoclast-specific or -related gene products and a method for identifying such sequences. The invention also relates to antibodies directed against an osteoclast-specific or -related gene product. Also claimed are DNA constructs capable of replicating DNA encoding all or a portion of an osteoclast-specific or -related gene product, and DNA constructs capable of directing expression in a host cell of an osteoclast-specific or -related gene product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 1, 1995
    Date of Patent: August 12, 1997
    Assignee: Forsyth Dental Infirmary for Children
    Inventors: Philip Stashenko, Yi-Ping Li, Anne L. Wucherpfennig
  • Methods of identifying human osteoclast-specific and related genes
    Patent number: 5624801
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of identifying DNA encoding an osteoclast-specific or -related gene product. The method comprises hybridizing DNA with a stromal cell+, osteoclast+probe, or with cDNA or mRNA from an osteoclastoma, and with a stromal cell+, osteoclast-probe, or with cDNA or mRNA from stromal cells; and identifying DNA which hybridizes to the stromal cell+, osteoclast+probe, or to cDNA or mRNA from osteoclastoma, but not to the stromal cell+, osteoclast-probe, or to cDNA or mRNA from stromal cells.
    Type: Grant
