Patents by Inventor VIJAY RAMIYA

VIJAY RAMIYA 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: 20200317764
    Abstract: Synthetic bacterial messenger RNA can be used to prepare autologous, allogenic or direct nucleic acid cancer vaccines. Cancer cells are transfected either in vitro or in vivo with mRNA obtained from DNA that encodes an immunogenic bacterial protein. An immune response to the cancer is generated from direct administration of the mRNA in vivo or administration of vaccines prepared from cancer cells in vitro. Codon modification of the mRNA can optimize expression of an immunogenic polypeptide in cancer cells.

  • Patent number: 10751400
    Abstract: Customized whole cell cancer vaccines can be produced from autologous (ex vivo or in situ) or allogeneic human or veterinary patient cell lines. Cells are transformed with S. pyogenes DNA that expresses an Emm protein on the cell surface and cytosol. Treatment of cancer patients with an Emm vector vaccine induces an immunologic response to the cancer by enhancing immunogenicity of a tumor. Emm vaccines can be used in patients where the cancer is not identified due to lower tumor burden or used to treat a specific cancer and subsequently treat for a second type that may have arisen through metastasis.
