Ezra M. CHUNG 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: 11933786
    Abstract: Antibodies that selectively bind to glycosylated PD-1 relative to unglycosylated PD-1 are provided. In some aspects, PD-1 polypeptides comprising glycosylated amino acid positions are also provided. Methods for making and using such antibodies and polypeptides (e.g., for the treatment of cancer) are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 13, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 19, 2024
    Assignees: STCUBE, INC., BOARD OF REGENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
    Inventors: Stephen S. Yoo, Ezra M. Chung, Yong-Soo Kim, Mien-Chie Hung, Chia-Wei Li, Seung-Oe Lim
  • Patent number: 11660352
    Abstract: Antibodies that bind specifically to glycosylated PD-L1 relative to unglycosylated PD-L1, block binding of PD-L1 to PD-1 and promote internalization and degradation of PD-L1 are provided. Antibodies that recognize specific epitopes on glycosylated PD-L1 protein and that exhibit the dual functions of both blocking the binding of PD-L1 to PD-1 and also facilitating the internalization of PD-L1 on cells are provided. In some aspects, PD-L1 polypeptides comprising glycosylated amino acid residues at amino and carboxy terminal positions of the PD-L1 extracellular domain are also provided. Methods for using such antibodies for the treatment of cancer, particularly PD-L1 positive cancer, are also provided.
    Type: Grant
