Patents by Inventor Genmin Lu

Genmin Lu 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).

  • Publication number: 20240082367
    Abstract: The present invention relates antidotes to anticoagulants targeting factor Xa. The antidoes are factor Xa protein derivatives that bind to the factor Xa inhibitors thereby substantially neutralizing them but do not assemble into the prothrombinase complex. The derivatives describe herein lack or have reduced intrinsic coagulant activity. Disclosed herein are methods of stopping or preventing bleeding in a patient that is currently undergoing anticoagulant therapy with a factor Xa inhibitor.

  • Publication number: 20240076642
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for manufacturing a fXa derivative protein at large scale leading to high yield of highly pure protein product. The method may include adding a detergent to a sample that contains a polynucleotide construct encoding the protein and purifying the protein through a soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI)-based affinity chromatograph, an ion exchange and mixed mode chromatograph and a hydrophobic interaction.

  • Publication number: 20230383276
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and isolated cells useful for the improved production of function fXa derivative protein that acts as a fXa inhibitor antidote. One aspect relates to an isolated cell comprising the r-Antidote polynucleotide and Furin polynucleotide. Another aspect relates to a method for preparing the cleaved two-chain r-Antidote by expressing, in a cell, the pre-processed r-Antidote polypeptide and a Furin polypeptide.

  • Publication number: 20220251534
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to protein sequences which can be used to generate factor Xa proteins and derivatives thereof. The protein sequences include a factor Xa light chain portion, a heavy chain catalytic domain portion, and an activation peptide C-terminal to the heavy chain catalytic domain portion. It is discovered that when an activation peptide (AP) is fused to the C-terminal end of the heavy chain of the factor Xa protein or derivative, the resulting protein can be more efficiently expressed, and the attachment of the activation peptide (AP) to the heavy chain does not affect the activity of the protein.
