Kenneth Flanagan 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: 10889636
    Abstract: The invention provides antibodies that specifically bind to the LG4-5 modules of the G domain of laminin ?4. The antibodies can preferentially stain cancer or tumor cells or tissue. The antibodies can be used for detecting cancer, evaluating the efficacy of a cancer therapy, treating cancer, and treating obesity or obesity-related diseases, among other applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 12, 2021
    Assignee: PROTHENA BIOSCIENCES LIMITED
    Inventors: Stephen Jed Tam, Yue Liu, Robin Barbour, Theodore Yednock, Kenneth Flanagan
  • Publication number: 20200216560
    Abstract: Described herein are anti-MCAM antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof that are capable of inhibiting the interaction between MCAM and its ligand, a protein comprising a laminin ?-4 chain. These anti-MCAM antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof may be useful for, for example, treating inflammatory conditions characterized by the infiltration of MCAM-expressing cells into a site of inflammation in the body.

  • Publication number: 20200165336
    Abstract: Described herein are MCAM antagonists, including MCAM antagonist antibodies capable of inhibiting the interaction between MCAM and it ligand, a laminin a4 chain, e.g., an ct4 chain of laminin 41 1. These MCAM antagonists, e.g., anti-MCAM antibodies, may be useful to treat neuroinflammatory conditions, for example, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, by inhibiting the infiltration of MCAM-expressing cells into the central nervous system (CNS), e.g., extravasation of TH 17 cells into the CNS.
