Patents by Inventor Peter O'Hanley

Peter O'Hanley 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).

  • Immunogenic pili presenting foreign peptides, their production and use
    Publication number: 20020142008
    Abstract: A method of producing pili and vaccines containing pili are described using bacteria that express at least one immunogenic peptide in a PapA region that does not normally contain such a peptide.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 12, 2001
    Publication date: October 3, 2002
    Inventors: Peter O'Hanley, Kenneth Denich, M. Alexander Schmidt
  • Dissociated pili, their production and use
    Publication number: 20020054888
    Abstract: A method of producing pili and vaccines containing pili is described using bacteria harboring mutations that facilitate detachment of pili from the bacteria. Wild type pili have known immunoprotective effects in treating urinary tract infections. The mutant pili produced by this method are also shown to have such immunoprotective effects. Therefore, the pili may be used to make vaccines for treating urinary tract infections.
    Type: Application

  • Hemolysin fusion proteins, their production and use
    Publication number: 20020001593
    Abstract: Novel hemolysin fusion proteins can be produced by inserting a foreign nucleotide sequence encoding an immunogenic peptide in a region of HlyA corresponding to the CnBr II through CnBr V region of HlyA.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 12, 2001
    Publication date: January 3, 2002
    Inventors: Peter O'Hanley, Guy LaLonde
  • Synthetic vaccine against urinary infections
    Patent number: 4740585
    Abstract: A vaccine effective in protecting mammals against urinary tract infections is prepared from synthetic peptides substantially equivalent to short sequences contained in HU849 pilin conjugated to substantially antigenically neutral carriers or from a CNBrII fragment of HU849 pilin.
    Type: Grant
