Patents by Inventor Jason Vitko

Jason Vitko 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: 20240035022
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for expressing a plurality of target polypeptides at a high level in mammalian host cells. Each target polypeptide is encoded on a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a unique cell surface marker polypeptide and a nucleotide sequence encoding a unique target polypeptide, wherein both the nucleotide sequence encoding the unique cell surface marker polypeptide and the nucleotide sequence encoding the unique target polypeptide are transcribed on the same mRNA. Each mammalian host cell comprises a plurality of different polynucleotides, such that the cell is capable of expressing a plurality of unique target polypeptides and a plurality of unique cell surface marker polypeptides. In certain embodiments, the plurality of unique cell surface marker polypeptides are variants of CD52. The compositions and methods are useful for expressing multimeric target proteins, e.g., crossover dual-variable domain (CODV) triabodies.

  • Publication number: 20240026410
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for selecting a population of cells expressing a target polypeptide. In some aspects, the disclosure provides methods for sorting and selecting populations of transfected host cells based on their early expression of a selectable polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the sorting is performed using fluorescence-activated cell sorting or magnetic-activated cell sorting based on the selectable polypeptide. Such selection methods can be further utilized to generate clonal populations of producer cells, e.g. for large-scale manufacturing of a target polypeptide of interest.
