Moshe Werber 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).

  • Fibrin binding domain polypeptides and uses and methods of producing same
    Patent number: 7087722
    Abstract: This invention provides an imaging agent which comprises a polypeptide labeled with an imageable marker, such polypeptide having an amino acid sequence substantially present in the fibrin binding domain of naturally-occurring human fibronectin and being capable of binding to fibrin. The invention further provides a method wherein the imaging agent is used for imaging a fibrin-containing substance, i.e., a thrombus or atherosclerotic plaque. Further provided are plasmids for expression of polypeptides having an amino acid sequence substantially present in the fibrin binding domain of naturally-occurring human fibronectin and being capable of binding to fibrin, hosts containing these plasmids, methods of producing the polypeptides, methods of treatment using the polypeptides, and methods of recovering, refolding and reoxidizing the polypeptides.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 2000
    Date of Patent: August 8, 2006
    Assignee: Savient Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
    Inventors: Tikva Vogel, Avigdor Levanon, Moshe Werber, Rachel Guy, Amos Panet
