Judi McKinney 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).

  • High-throughput screening assays for modulators of STAT4 activity
    Patent number: 6682898
    Abstract: This invention provides receptor peptides that have a high affinity for STAT4 and STAT6 polypeptides. Also provided are assays that are useful for identifying compounds that modulate the interaction between STAT4 and STAT6 polypeptides and their respective cellular promoters. The assays are amenable to high throughput screening.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 2001
    Date of Patent: January 27, 2004
    Assignee: Tularik Inc.
    Inventors: Pengguang Wu, Judi McKinney
  • Inhibitors of STAT function
    Patent number: 6426331
    Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods that are useful in the treatment of immunoregulatory conditions and disorders are provided herein. In particular, the invention provides compounds which modulate the function of a Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) protein. The compounds are represented by the general formula: wherein Y, Ar, X, A2, A1, R1 and R2 are defined herein. The compounds are useful to treat, for example, allergic and inflammatory conditions and disorders.
