Kazuko Keino-Masu 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: 7919588
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions relating to vertebrate UNC-5 proteins which function as receptor proteins for netrins, a family of cell guidance proteins. The proteins may be produced recombinantly from transformed host cells from the disclosed vertebrate UNC-5 encoding nucleic acid or purified from human cells. The invention provides specific hybridization probes and primers capable of specifically hybridizing with the disclosed vertebrate unc-5 gene, vertebrate UNC-5-specific binding agents such as specific antibodies, and methods of making and using the subject compositions in diagnosis, therapy and in the biopharmaceutical industry.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2008
    Date of Patent: April 5, 2011
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Marc Tessier-Lavigne, E. David Leonardo, Lindsay Hinck, Masayuki Masu, Kazuko Keino-Masu
