Patents by Inventor Lawrence Luepschen

Lawrence Luepschen 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: 7824677
    Abstract: The invention includes methods of inhibiting blood coagulation using antibodies that provide superior anti-coagulant activity by binding native human TF with high affinity and specificity. Methods of the invention can effectively inhibit blood coagulation in vivo. Antibodies used in the methods of the invention can bind native human TF, either alone or present in a TF:VIIa complex, effectively preventing factor X binding to TF or that complex, and thereby reducing blood coagulation. Preferred antibodies used in the methods of the invention specifically bind a conformational epitope predominant to native human TF, which epitope provides an unexpectedly strong antibody binding site.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2010
    Assignee: Genentech, Inc.
    Inventors: Hing C. Wong, Jin-An Jiao, Esperanza Liliana Nieves, Lawrence Luepschen

  • Publication number: 20060039901
    Abstract: The invention includes antibodies that provide superior anti-coagulant activity by binding native human TF with high affinity and specificity. Antibodies of the invention can effectively inhibit blood coagulation in vivo. Antibodies of the invention can bind native human TF, either alone or present in a TF:FVIIa complex, effectively preventing factor X or FIX binding to TF or that complex, and thereby reducing blood coagulation. Preferred antibodies of the invention specifically bind a conformational epitope predominant to native human TF, which epitope provides an unexpectedly strong antibody binding site. Also provided are humanized antibodies and fragments thereof that bind to the TF.
