Patents by Inventor Larry John Suva

Larry John Suva 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).

  • Method and compositions for making ACSF and ACSF antagonists
    Patent number: 5763195
    Abstract: The complete amino acid and nucleotide sequence for adenylate cyclase stimulating factor is provided, thereby facilitating the synthesis of ACSF in recombinant cell culture. ACSF amino acid sequence variants and ACSF antibodies are provided which are useful in the treatment of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy or in immunoassays for ACSF. In particular, antibodies capable of binding only the C-terminal domains of ACSF are useful in immunoassays for ACSF which avoid interference by parathyroid hormone. Also provided are novel polypeptides selected from the group of the ACSF basic peptide, the ACSF C-terminal peptide, or the ACSF domain containing both of the basic and C-terminal peptides.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 1995
    Date of Patent: June 9, 1998
    Assignees: Genentech, Inc., University of Melbourne
    Inventors: William I. Wood, Thomas John Martin, Larry John Suva
