Frank V. Chisari 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).

  • Synthetic hepatitis B virus vaccine including both T cell and B cell determinants
    Patent number: 4599230
    Abstract: Chemically synthesized polypeptides include amino acid residue sequences that substantially correspond to the amino acid residue sequences of T cell and B cell determinant portions of a natural, pathogen-related protein, in particular, a hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg). When administered to a host alone, as polymers or as carrier-bound conjugates, the polypeptides induce the proliferation of thymus-derived cells in hosts primed against hepatitis B virus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 9, 1984
    Date of Patent: July 8, 1986
    Assignee: Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation
    Inventors: David R. Milich, Frank V. Chisari
