Patents by Inventor Jiunu Lai

Jiunu Lai 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).

  • Cecropins fusion proteins
    Patent number: 5357044
    Abstract: Cecropin fusion proteins with suppressed bactericidal activity are provided. The fusion proteins of the invention provide the sequence of a cecropin and can be expressed in a cecropin-sensitive bacterium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 11, 1993
    Date of Patent: October 18, 1994
    Assignee: Xoma Corporation
    Inventors: Jiunu Lai, Jar-How Lee, Yun-Long Lin, Dan S. Ray, Gary Wilcox
  • Method of producing cecropins by microbiological techniques
    Patent number: 5206154
    Abstract: A polynucleotide molecule expressible in a given host comprising the sequence of the araB promoter operably linked to a gene which is heterologous to said host. The heterologous gene codes for a peptide that is biologically active. The invention also relates to a genetic construct which comprises a first genetic sequence coding for cecropin operably linked to a second genetic sequence coding for a polypeptide which is capable of suppressing the bactericidal effect of the resulting fusion protein towards an otherwise cecropin sensitive bacterium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 3, 1991
    Date of Patent: April 27, 1993
    Assignee: Xoma Corporation
    Inventors: Jiunu Lai, Jar-How Lee, Yun-Long Lin, Dan Ray, Gary Wilcox
