Paul Knick 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: 20230295223
    Abstract: The present invention relates to immunoglobulin (Ig) binding proteins comprising one or more domains having highly hydrophobic amino acids with branched side chains (Iso, Leu, Val), or aromatic amino acids (Tyr, Phe, or Trp) corresponding to position 4 or 6 or 8 of the Ig binding protein of SEQ ID NO: 1 or functionally similar proteins. The novel proteins have superior properties for highly efficient purification methods for antibodies (immunoglobulins), for example, the proteins have high binding capacity and high chemical stability. The invention further relates to affinity matrices comprising the Ig binding proteins of the invention. The invention also relates to a use of these Ig binding proteins or affinity matrices for affinity purification of immunoglobulins and to methods of affinity purification using the Ig binding proteins of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20230093429
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of protein purification and relates in particular to novel proteins that bind to the soluble part of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (sFGFR3). The invention further relates to fusion proteins comprising novel proteins that bind to sFGFR3. In addition, the invention relates to affinity matrices comprising the sFGFR3 binding proteins of the invention. The invention also relates to a use of these sFGFR3 binding proteins or affinity matrices for affinity purification of sFGFR3 nd to methods of affinity purification of sFGFR3 using the sFGFR3 binding proteins of the invention. Further uses relate to analytical methods for the determination of SFGFR3 in liquids.
