Patents by Inventor Martha Newell

Martha Newell 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).

  • Methods and products for manipulating uncoupling protein expression
    Publication number: 20060247199
    Abstract: The invention is based in part on the discovery that uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are expressed in the plasma membrane of rapidly dividing cells but not of growth arrested, chemotherapy resistant cells. It has also been found according to the invention that UCP is expressed in the lysosomal membrane under certain metabolic conditions. Thus the invention is methods, products, screening assays and kits relating to the manipulation of UCP expression within cellular and intracellular membranes.

  • Use of CD40 engagement to alter T cell receptor usage
    Publication number: 20050048055
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for altering and enhancing the immune response toward an antigen. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods of using CD40 engagement on T cells to induce T cell receptor gene rearrangement and enhance T cell affinity for a particular antigen. The invention also relates to methods for promoting developmental maturation of an immature cell of the T cell lineage.
