Rob Hallewell 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).

  • Purified pol DNA, a recombinant DNA construct for expression of HIV pol polypeptide sequences and a cell containing such construct
    Patent number: 7527925
    Abstract: Polynucleotide sequences are provided for the diagnosis of the presence of retroviral infection in a human host associated with lymphadenopathy syndrome and/or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, for expression of polypeptides and use of the polypeptides to prepare antibodies, where both the polypeptides and antibodies may be employed as diagnostic reagents or in therapy, e.g., vaccines and passive immunization. The sequences provide detection of the viral infectious agents associated with the indicated syndromes and can be used for expression of antigenic polypeptides.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 17, 1995
    Date of Patent: May 5, 2009
    Assignee: Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc.
    Inventors: Paul A. Luciw, Dino Dina, Kathelyn Steimer, Ray Sanchez Pescador, Carlos George-Nascimento, Deborah Parkes, Rob Hallewell, Philip J. Barr, Martha Truett
