Patents by Inventor RICHARD JUNGHANS

RICHARD JUNGHANS 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: 20200138863
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of liver metastases in a subject. The methods include hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of chimeric antigen receptor modified T cells (CAR-T) which are highly specific for tumor antigens such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The HAI method is optimized to maximize exposure of the modified cells to the metastatic cells while minimizing exposure to healthy cells. The methods include co-administration of a second therapeutic agent, such as IL-2.

  • Publication number: 20180344769
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for treating a peritoneal cancer in a subject. The methods include administering a T cell which is genetically modified to express a chimeric T cell receptor protein. The chimeric T cell receptor protein may include a T cell receptor signaling domain fused to the tumor associated antigen-binding fragment of an antibody or a T cell receptor signaling domain fused to a naturally occurring ligand which specifically binds to a tumor cell surface protein. The compositions and methods disclosed herein are therapeutically effective to reduce, for example, tumor burden, abdominal ascites, peritoneal mucin, or serum tumor marker levels.

  • Publication number: 20070031438
    Abstract: This invention relates to specific antibodies against ganglioside GD3 called MB3.6 and against protein prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) called 3D8, 4D4 and 3E11 when prepared as chimeric molecules with signaling molecules of T cells and other effector cells, and the use thereof in the treatment of cancers expressing these antigens.

  • Publication number: 20020142374
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided methods for the extension of serum half-lives of proteinaceous molecules, particularly antibody molecules, and compositions of molecules modified in accordance with the methods of the invention. In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of modifying the half-life of an antibody through providing an antibody containing an FcRn binding domain or the genes encoding such antibody and physically linking the antibody or the antibody as encoded to a second FcRn binding domain. In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a molecule that contains at least two distinct FcRn binding moieties.

  • Patent number: 6411284
    Abstract: A system and method for providing enhanced security to signals from a touch panel display, such as the transparent touch panel displays utilized in automatic teller machines, are described. According to one aspect, a varying reference signal is input to a touch panel display. The varying reference signal is utilized by the touch panel display to generate an x-axis signal and a y-axis signal which correspond to a position touched on the touch screen. By varying the reference signal, information entered on the touch screen is difficult to reproduce in a meaningful way by a third party eavesdropping on the x-axis signal and the y-axis signal.
