Patents by Inventor Amaury Pupo Meriño

Amaury Pupo Meriño 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).

  • Patent number: 9701730
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of Biotechnology and more particularly to the mutated polypeptides of TGF? molecule whose primary sequence has a high homology with the sequence of human TGF?. These muteins lose their ability to interact with ALK5 but maintain their ability to interact with other receptors that are part of the receptor complex (T?RII and T?RIII). They have the property of antagonizing the signaling of all natural variants of TGF? ligands, dependent of ALK5 recruitment in the receptor complex, and have significant immunomodulatory effects. The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising as active principle the polypeptides or fusion proteins disclosed and their use thereof given their modulating effect on the immune system in diseases such as cancer, diseases accompanied by fibrosis and chronic infectious diseases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2017
    Assignee: Centro De Inmunologia Molecular
    Inventors: Ángel de Jesús Corria Osorio, Kalet León Monzón, Tania Carmenate Portilla, Amaury Pupo Meriño, Saumel Pérez Rodríguez
  • Patent number: 9505830
    Abstract: The present invention reveals human recombinant antibodies that recognize the human Vascular Endothelium Growth Factor A (VEGF-A), block its interaction with the VEGFR2 receptor, and interfere with its proliferative effect in vitro and pro-angiogenic effect in vivo. The antibodies identify an epitope on human VEGF-A different from any other previously reported, and were obtained by combining one immunoglobulin light chain variable region with other three heavy chain ones. The antibodies were obtained by human immunoglobulin variable region mutagenesis, and can be employed for the immunotherapy of pathological entities associated with an increase in vasculature, such as age-related macular degeneration, cancer, and others.
