Patents by Inventor Mary ChaoHong Hu

Mary ChaoHong Hu 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).

  • Efficient protein expression system
    Patent number: 7528245
    Abstract: Nucleic acid expression control sequence cassettes and vectors containing the same are provided for use in making abundant quantities of recombinant polypeptides of interest. The modified transcriptional control sequences, which include a T5 promoter sequence, are highly stable and can be used in a variety of vectors, such as plasmids.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2005
    Date of Patent: May 5, 2009
    Assignee: ID Biomedical Corporation of Washington
    Inventor: Mary ChaoHong Hu
  • Multivalent streptococcal vaccine compositions and methods for use
    Patent number: 7270827
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for making and using therapeutic formulations of multivalent hybrid polypeptides comprising immunogenic peptides of M proteins from various different serotypes of group A streptococci and antibodies thereto are provided. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding such hybrid polypeptides. The hybrid polypeptide formulations may be used, for example, in methods for treating or preventing a microbial infection and eliciting a protective immune response having broadly protective opsonic antibodies in the absence of tissue cross-reactive antibodies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 28, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 18, 2007
    Assignees: University of Tennessee Research Foundation, ID Biomedical Corporation of Washington
    Inventors: Mark A. Reddish, Mary ChaoHong Hu, Michael A. Walls, James B. Dale
