James C. Cicciarelli 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: 11143654
    Abstract: Methods and kits are provided for determining of immunoglobulin isotypes and subclasses in a subject. In general the subject is a human who is a transplant candidate recipient or recipient, has allergies, or has an autoimmune disease. The method involves analyzing a sample of a body fluid of a transplant candidate or recipient, allergy patient or autoimmune disease sufferer and correlating the relative amounts of each immunoglobulin isotype and subtype, such that the distribution of isotypes and subtypes is an indication of success of the transplant in the candidate and recipient or the prognosis of the autoimmune disease.

    Date of Patent: October 12, 2021
    Assignee: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TRANSPLANTATION FOUNDATION
    Inventors: James C Cicciarelli, Noriyuki Kasahara
  • Patent number: 11060111
    Abstract: Virus vectors wherein each of the virus vectors expresses a sequence targeting a consensus conserved nucleic acid sequence, which when expressed in cells, functions as a modulator for nucleic acid encoding a domain.

  • Patent number: 10167486
    Abstract: A kit for altering allogeneic human cells for a human recipient where the kit includes a set of lentivirus vectors where each of the lentivirus vectors expresses a sequence targeting a consensus conserved nucleic acid sequence, which when expressed in cells, functions as a negative modulator for nucleic acid encoding a domain having a mismatch in an HLA protein and where the set of lentivirus vectors includes individual lentivirus vectors that correspond to individual HLA mismatches for a set of HLA mismatches that consist of HLA Class I mismatches and at least one HLA Class II mismatch and where the kit is for treatment of human cells by an appropriate subset of the set of lentivirus vectors based at least in part on a determined subset of the set of HLA mismatches between a human donor and a human recipient or between human cells and a human recipient.

  • Publication number: 20170234875
    Abstract: Methods and kits are provided for determining of immunoglobulin isotypes and subclasses in a subject.

The method involves analyzing a sample of a body fluid of a transplant candidate or recipient, allergy patient or autoimmune disease sufferer and correlating the relative amounts of each immunoglobulin isotype and subtype, such that the distribution of isotypes and subtypes is an indication of success of the transplant in the candidate and recipient or the prognosis of the autoimmune disease.

  • Patent number: 9677087
    Abstract: A method can include making one or more compositions for altering allogeneic cells of a human donor for a human recipient by identifying at least one mismatch in an HLA protein between the human donor and the human recipient; determining a consensus conserved nucleic acid sequence among nucleic acid sequences encoding a domain having the mismatch or among domains having a plurality of mismatches; and forming at least one of the one or more compositions by constructing a virus vector for expressing a sequence targeting the consensus conserved nucleic acid sequence, which when expressed in cells functions as a negative modulator for nucleic acid encoding the domain having the mismatch or the domains having the plurality of mismatches.
