  • Methods for reducing the mitogenicity of lectin compositions
    Patent number: 8729242
    Abstract: Methods for reducing the T-cell mitogenicity of lectin compositions are provided. In one aspect this is achieved by chemically modifying mitogenic lectin compositions under optimized conditions. Additionally or alternatively, the reduction in T-cell mitogenicity is achieved by removing unmodified subunits chemically modified mixtures. Modified lectin compositions with reduced T-cell mitogenicity are also provided as are uses of the inventive compositions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 20, 2014
    Assignee: Smartcells, Inc.
    Inventors: Thomas M. Lancaster, Wenyi Cai, Ryan Faucette, Matthew Pecukonis, Todd C. Zion
