Anne Hamburger 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).

  • Compositions and methods of use of EPB1, and ErbB3 binding protein
    Patent number: 7838495
    Abstract: Inhibition of the proliferation of hormone refractory prostate cancer cells is achieved by administering EPB1, an ErbB3 binding protein, in combination with another anti-proliferation therapy such as administration of antiandrogens, other anticancer agents, radiation therapy, or surgery. Administration of EPB1 reverses the phenotype of hormone-resistant prostate cancer cells to hormone-sensitive prostate cancer cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 23, 2010
    Assignee: University of Maryland, Baltimore
    Inventors: Yuexing Zhang, Anne Hamburger

  • ErbB3 binding protein compositions and methods of use
    Publication number: 20060182719
    Abstract: A method of repressing a cell-cycle gene, which is regulated by an E2F transcription factor, in a cell, wherein the method comprises contacting the cell with a cell-cycle gene-repressing amount of ErbB3 binding protein (Ebp1); a method of inhibiting prostate cancer in a mammal, wherein the method comprises administering to the mammal a prostate cancer-inhibiting amount of Ebp 1; a composition comprising an Ebp 1-expressing viral vector that expresses a cell-cycle gene-repressing amount of Ebp 1; and a composition comprising polymer-packaged DNA comprising and expressing a cell-cycle gene-repressing amount of Ebp1.
