Patents by Inventor Marlene Isabel Vargas Viloria

Marlene Isabel Vargas Viloria 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).

  • Recombinant peptide vaccines against ticks, and nucleotide sequences coding for the recombinant peptides
    Patent number: 10584151
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology and genetic engineering, and particularly to the expression of recombinant peptides. The inoculation thereof in cattle results in the production of an immune response capable of adversely affecting Rhipicephalus microplus ticks, which feed on the inoculated cattle, decreasing the number and reproductive capacity of this tick species. Such recombinant immunogen can be used as an effective vaccine for tick control. The technical goal is the design and construction of two synthetic genes made with preferred codons for Pichia pastoris and expression thereof from a recombinant peptide, which consists in a continuous sequence and of a recombinant peptide, respectively, and the drug composition based of said recombinant polypeptide.

  • Synthetic vaccine for tick control
    Patent number: 8110202
    Abstract: This invention is related to the field of immunology of protein biotechnology and particularly to the construction of synthetic immunogens which result, where inoculated, in the production by cattle of an immune response capable of lesion to the ticks feeding on the inoculated bovines, reducing their number, their weight and their reproductive capacity to such an extent that the constructed immunogen can be used as an effective vaccine for tick control on bovines. The technical object of the invention consists of the design and construction of two synthetic immunogens constituted of a continuous and defined sequence with forty-three (43) amino acids, found in different positions in the sequence of protein Bm86, their polymerization with cysteine in the N-terminal and in the C-terminal, the medicamentous composition based on said peptide(s) and the synthetic vaccine obtained thereby.
