Christine DeMaria 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).

  • Publication number: 20240026410
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for selecting a population of cells expressing a target polypeptide. In some aspects, the disclosure provides methods for sorting and selecting populations of transfected host cells based on their early expression of a selectable polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the sorting is performed using fluorescence-activated cell sorting or magnetic-activated cell sorting based on the selectable polypeptide. Such selection methods can be further utilized to generate clonal populations of producer cells, e.g. for large-scale manufacturing of a target polypeptide of interest.

  • Publication number: 20230304913
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for batch production of producer cells using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). In some aspects, the disclosure provides a drug-selection-free method for batch production of producer cells using FACS. Such batch production methods and compositions can be further utilized to generate clonal populations of producer cells, e.g., for large-scale manufacturing of a polypeptide of interest.

  • Publication number: 20220064617
    Abstract: Provided herein are recombinant glycoproteins (e.g., recombinant human ?-galactosidase-A proteins) with an altered (e.g., improved) glycosylation profile, and pharmaceutical compositions and kits including one or more of these proteins. Also provided are methods of generating a mammalian cell useful for recombinant expression of a glycoprotein (e.g., recombinant human ?-galactosidase-A), methods of producing recombinant glycoproteins, and methods of treatment that include administering to a subject at least one of the recombinant glycoproteins (e.g., recombinant human ?-galactosidase-A protein).
