Saumel Pérez Rodriguez 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).

  • Patent number: 9701730
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of Biotechnology and more particularly to the mutated polypeptides of TGF? molecule whose primary sequence has a high homology with the sequence of human TGF?. These muteins lose their ability to interact with ALK5 but maintain their ability to interact with other receptors that are part of the receptor complex (T?RII and T?RIII). They have the property of antagonizing the signaling of all natural variants of TGF? ligands, dependent of ALK5 recruitment in the receptor complex, and have significant immunomodulatory effects. The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising as active principle the polypeptides or fusion proteins disclosed and their use thereof given their modulating effect on the immune system in diseases such as cancer, diseases accompanied by fibrosis and chronic infectious diseases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2017
    Assignee: Centro De Inmunologia Molecular
    Inventors: Ángel de Jesús Corria Osorio, Kalet León Monzón, Tania Carmenate Portilla, Amaury Pupo Meriño, Saumel Pérez Rodríguez
  • Patent number: 9206243
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides which share primary sequence with human IL-2, except for several amino acids that have been mutated. The mutations introduced substantially reduce the ability of these polypeptides to stimulate in vitro and in vivo regulatory T cells (T CD4+CD25+FoxP3+) and make them more effective in the therapy of murine transplantable tumors. Also includes therapeutic uses of these mutated variants, used alone or in combination with vaccines for the therapy of diseases such as cancer or infections where the activity of regulatory T cells (Tregs) is relevant. In another aspect the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising as active principle the polypeptides disclosed. Finally, the present invention relates to the therapeutic use of the polypeptides and pharmaceutical compositions disclosed due to their modulating effect of the immune system on diseases like cancer and chronic infectious diseases.
