Patents by Inventor Bram Laukens

Bram Laukens 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: 11964002
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of recombinant protein production in a host cell. More specifically the invention relates to the field of oral protein delivery. Specifically, the invention provides oral pharmaceutical formulations comprising the culture medium of a recombinant host secreting a recombinant protein. The resulting oral pharmaceutical formulations are useful for the treatment of gastro-intestinal and/or buccal disorders. Additionally, the oral pharmaceutical formulations are useful for prophylactic and vaccine purposes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11932702
    Abstract: The present technology aims at providing a novel type of drug for treating a subject suffering from cancer. Specifically, the technology provides polypeptides comprising at least four immunoglobulin single variable domains (ISVDs), characterized in that one ISVD binds to TCR and at least two ISVDs bind to GPC3. The present technology also provides nucleic acids, vectors and compositions.
