Patents by Inventor Marcel Nold

Marcel Nold 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: 20230192793
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides, particularly fusion protein variants comprising interleukin-37 (IL-37) and related therapeutics and compositions thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to fusion proteins comprising a mutant IL-37 polypeptide and an Fc region of an antibody. The biophysical stability such as thermal stability of said fusion proteins can be improved compared to a reference IL-37 construct, such as a wild-type IL-37 polypeptide or a mutant variant of an IL-37 polypeptide. It also relates to the fusion polypeptide variants and compositions for use in treating inflammatory diseases or conditions. In addition, the present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding such fusion proteins, and vectors and host cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules.

  • Publication number: 20220073580
    Abstract: This invention relates to polypeptides, including variants of interleukin-37 (IL-37), and related therapeutics and compositions. The invention also relates to the use of the polypeptides and compositions in methods of treating inflammatory diseases or conditions. The present invention provides a monomeric anti-inflammatory polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of an IL-37 monomer, the amino acid sequence having a mutation or modification for preventing the anti-inflammatory peptide from forming a homodimer.

  • Publication number: 20190352390
    Abstract: The invention relates to IL-37, to antibodies and related fragments thereof for binding to IL-37, to production of said antibodies and fragments and to use of said antibodies and fragments for detection and therapy of various conditions. For example, the invention relates to an antigen binding site that binds to or specifically binds to IL-37 and inhibits IL-37 activity.
