Patents by Inventor Django Sussman

Django Sussman 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: 20240109975
    Abstract: The invention provides humanized antibodies that specifically bind to BCMA. The antibodies are useful for treatment and diagnoses of various cancers and immune disorders as well as detecting BCMA.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 15, 2023
    Publication date: April 4, 2024
    Applicant: SEAGEN INC.
    Inventors: Django Sussman, Maureen Ryan, Lori Westendorf, Michael Feldhaus
  • Patent number: 11938194
    Abstract: The invention provides modified heavy chain constant regions including a cysteine at position 295 by EU numbering and optionally at position 239 by EU numbering. These cysteine residues provide sites for conjugation to a drug or label. When both cysteines are present in a normal heterodimeric antibody format, there are four such sites per molecule of antibody allowing a stoichiometry of one molecule of antibody to four of drug or label. Selection of the cysteine at position 295 with or without cysteine at position 239 is advantageous over cysteines at many other positions due to ease of expression, stability and cytotoxicity.
    Type: Grant
