Patents by Inventor Barbara Zehentner-Wilkinson

Barbara Zehentner-Wilkinson 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).

  • Detection and monitoring of lung cancer
    Publication number: 20070042368
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the diagnosis of lung cancer are disclosed. Such methods are useful to detect early tumors or provide adequate stage/grade information or tumor specificity. Compositions may comprise one or more lung tumor proteins, immunogenic portions thereof, or polynucleotides that encode such portions. Such compositions may be used, for example, to improve lung cancer diagnosis and prognosis and potentially differentiate between NSCLC and SCLC.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 10, 2004
    Publication date: February 22, 2007
    Applicant: Corixa Corporation
    Inventors: Barbara Zehentner-Wilkinson, Dawn Hayes, Raymond Houghton
  • Methods for detecting and confirming minimal disease
    Publication number: 20070020670
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved methods for detection of minimal disease. More specifically, the invention provides methods for combining cell sorting with clonality profiling to effectively lower sensitivity limits for disease detection and to provide independent confirmation of the tumor detection without the need for patient specific assay designs.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Michael Loken, Barbara Zehentner-Wilkinson
  • Methods, compositions and kits for the detection and monitoring of lung cancer
    Publication number: 20060292600
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the diagnosis of lung cancer are disclosed. Such methods are useful to detect early tumors or provide adequate stage/grade information or tumor specificity. Compositions may comprise one or more lung tumor proteins, teins, immunogenic portions thereof, or polynucleotides that encode such portions. Such compositions may be used, for example, to improve lung cancer diagnosis and prognosis and potentially differentiate between NSCLC and SCLC.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: December 28, 2006
    Applicant: Corixa Corporation
    Inventors: Barbara Zehentner-Wilkinson, Dawn Hayes, Raymond Houghton
  • Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of lung cancer
    Publication number: 20050142620
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of cancer, particularly lung cancer, are disclosed. Illustrative compositions comprise one or more lung tumor polypeptides, immunogenic portions thereof, polynucleotides that encode such polypeptides, antigen presenting cell that expresses such polypeptides, and T cells that are specific for cells expressing such polypeptides. The disclosed compositions are useful, for example, in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of diseases, particularly lung cancer.
