Guidi Van Den Broeck 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).

  • Chimaeric gene coding for a transit peptide and a heterologous polypeptide
    Patent number: 6130366
    Abstract: Chimaeric DNA sequence which encodes: 1) a transmit peptide of a cytoplasmic precursor of a chloroplast protein or polypeptide of a plant and 2) a protein or polypeptide that is heterologous to the transit peptide. The chimaeric DNA sequence can be used as a vector for transforming a plant cell so that a chimaeric precursor of the heterologous protein or polypeptide is produced in the cytoplasm of the cell and the chimaeric precursor then transports the heterologous protein or polypeptide in vivo into a chloroplast of the cell.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 1997
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2000
    Assignees: Plant Genetic Systems, Bayer AG
    Inventors: Luis Herrera-Estrella, Guidi Van Den Broeck, Marc Van Montagu, Peter Schreier, Josef Schell, Hans J. Bohnert, Anthony R. Cashomore, Michael P. Timko, Albert P. Kausch
