Patents by Inventor Linghua Yu

Linghua Yu 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: 11015193
    Abstract: A method of constructing a specific CRISPR-Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats associated) to activate a RSPO2 (R-spondin 2) gene is disclosed in the present invention. The method comprises the following steps: designing a sgRNA (single guide RNA) of a specifically targeted human RSPO2 gene; constructing a CRISPR-Cas9 recombinant lentivirus vector of a specifically activated RSPO2 gene; and lentiviral packaging a CRISPR-Cas9 system of the specifically activated RSPO2 gene. The CRISPR-Cas9 system designed by the present invention activates the RSPO2 target gene expression and promotes the activation of the hepatic stellate cell.

  • Publication number: 20180312835
    Abstract: Plural crRNA for detecting RSPO2 gene in body fluid with CRISPR-Cas13a specificity and applications thereof are disclosed. The crRNA is able to construct the CRISPR-Cas13a system and specifically detect micro-RSPO2 gene in the body fluid. The present invention is non-invasive and able to test rapidly, frequently and repeatedly. Compared to the conventional liquid biopsy, the present invention detects the micro-RSPO2 in the body fluid through the fluorescence units. The present invention has the advantages of no need for high-throughput sequencing, low cost and rapid testing speed, which is able to be adopted by large scale clinical applications.

  • Publication number: 20180245066
    Abstract: A method for knocking out a human RSPO2 gene targeted with CRISPR-Cas9 specificity includes steps of: 1) designing the sgRNA of the human RSPO2 gene targeted; and 2) constructing a CRISPR-Cas9 recombinant lentivirus vector for knocking out the RSPO2 gene. A method for preparing a lentiviral-packaged system for knocking out a human RSPO2 gene targeted with CRISPR-Cas9 specificity includes steps of: 1) designing the sgRNA of the human RSPO2 gene targeted; 2) constructing a CRISPR-Cas9 recombinant lentivirus vector for knocking out the RSPO2 gene; and 3) processing the CRISPR-Cas9 recombinant lentivirus vector for knocking out the sgRNA of the human RSPO2 gene with lentiviral packaging, so as to obtain the lentiviral-packaged system.
