Patents by Inventor Brian Robert Miller

Brian Robert Miller 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).

  • Patent number: 9409950
    Abstract: The invention is based, at least in part, on the finding that linker peptides which lack the amino acid sequence GSG reduce or eliminate the addition of posttranslational modifications to the polypeptides which comprise them. More specifically, the novel linker peptides disclosed herein reduce the ability of enzymes to link carbohydrate adducts to polypeptides comprising these linker peptides, e.g., reduce the ability of xylosyltransferase to link xylose to polypeptides. These novel linker peptides, molecules comprising same, and methods of their use are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2016
    Assignee: Biogen MA Inc.
    Inventors: Brian Robert Miller, Scott Glaser, Justin Caravella, Susan Foley, Xiaoping Hronowski, Tigran Aivazian
  • Patent number: 8892364
    Abstract: The invention is based, at least in part, on the development of stabilized binding molecules that consist of or comprise a stabilized scFv and methods for making such stabilized molecules.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 17, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 18, 2014
    Assignee: Biogen Idec MA Inc.

  • Publication number: 20090130105
    Abstract: The instant invention is based, at least in part on the finding that binding molecules which bind to different epitopes within IGF-1R result in improved IGF-1 and/or IGF-2 blocking capabilities when compared to binding molecules that bind to a single IGF-1R epitope. The instant invention provides compositions that bind to multiple epitopes of IGF-1R, for example, combinations of monospecific binding molecules or multispecific binding molecules (e.g., bispecific molecules). Methods of making the subject binding molecules and methods of using the binding molecules of the invention to antagonize IGF-1R signaling are also provided.
