Patents by Inventor Catie Traversari

Catie Traversari 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).

  • Tumor antigens and CTL clones isolated by a novel procedure
    Patent number: 7351409
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones. In particular, the present invention relates to isolated CTL clones that are specific for proteins of the MAGE family. The CTL clones of the present invention have been isolated by successive steps of stimulation and testing of lymphocytes with antigen presenting cells which present antigens derived from different expression systems, e.g., from recombinant Yersinia, recombinant Salmonella, or recombinant viruses. The present invention further relates to antigenic peptides as well as the peptide/HLA complexes which are recognized by the isolated CTL clones.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 2004
    Date of Patent: April 1, 2008
    Assignee: Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research
    Inventors: Pascal Chaux, Rosalie Luiten, Nathalie Demotte, Marie-Therese Duffour, Christophe Lurquin, Catie Traversari, Vincent Stroobant, Guy R. Cornelis, Thierry Boon-Falleur, Pierre van der Bruggen, Erwin Schultz, Guy Warnier

  • Tumor antigens and CTL clones isolated by a novel procedure
    Patent number: 6710172
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding antigenic peptides from MAGE molecules that bind to HLA. An example of the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention is a nucleic acid molecule coding for the peptide GVYDGREHTV (SEQ ID NO: 44), which peptide binds to HLA-A2. The nucleic acid molecules and the encoded antigenic peptides are useful for diagnosing and treating various pathological conditions.
