Lavinia Diana Cicortas Gunnarsson 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).

  • Publication number: 20160208003
    Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies which bind to an epitope in the extracellular domain of human CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) and which are capable of inhibiting the binding of macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) and/or thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC) to CCR4. Also provided are inter alia immunoconjugates and compositions comprising such antibodies and methods and uses involving such antibodies, particularly in the medical and diagnostic fields.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 8637017
    Abstract: Disclosed are antibodies that bind to Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) and display certain advantages over known antibodies which bind to EpCAM, for example, the antibodies of the invention show good affinity, good cross-reactivity profiles and excellent ADCC and CDCC activity. Antibodies comprising specific heavy and light chain CDRs are disclosed. The invention thus relates to these antibodies and all uses thereof, in particular in the treatment of cancer. The present invention thus provides new antibody-based compositions, methods and combined protocols for treating cancer. Advantageous immunoconjugate compositions and methods using the new anti-EpCAM antibodies are also provided.
