Nicholas C. FLYTZANIS 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).

  • Publication number: 20240150410
    Abstract: Described herein are compositions and kits comprising recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) with increased viral transduction in the CNS. The rAAV compositions described herein encapsidate a transgene, such as a therapeutic nucleic acid. Gene therapy using the rAAVs is described. Also described are methods of treating CNS-related diseases and conditions.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 13, 2022
    Publication date: May 9, 2024

  • Publication number: 20240101969
    Abstract: Described herein are compositions and kits comprising recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) with tropisms showing increased specificity and efficiency of viral transduction in targeted cell types such as the brain and lung. The rAAV compositions described herein also have tropisms showing decreased specificity and decreased efficiency of viral transduction in an off-target cell type such as the liver. The rAAV compositions described herein encapsidate a transgene, such as a therapeutic nucleic acid. Upon systemic delivery to a subject, the rAAV is capable of increased specificity and increased transduction of the transgene in a target cell-type, as compared to a parental or reference AAV.
