Patents by Inventor Stephen Rush Fuhs

Stephen Rush Fuhs 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: 9957294
    Abstract: A peptide is disclosed of the general structure: Z—W—Y, wherein Z and Y are independently a one to eight amino acid sequence wherein the amino acids are selected from glycine and alanine and W is a non-hydrolyzable pHis analogue. Such peptides can be used to produce sequence-independent anti-phosphohistidine antibodies. Also provided are antibodies that specifically bind to a peptide comprising a phosphohistidine (or a non-hydrolyzable pHis analogue) but fail to specifically bind to an identical peptide containing histidine instead of phosphohistidine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 12, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 1, 2018
    Assignees: Salk Institute for Biological Studies, Sanofi

  • Patent number: 9850319
    Abstract: Isolated monoclonal antibodies and or antigen binding fragments thereof are disclosed herein that specifically bind polypeptides comprising a histidine phosphorylated at N3 (3-pHis). Nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, vectors including these nucleic acids, and host cells transformed with these vectors and nucleic acids are also disclosed. Methods are also disclosed for using these antibodies, such as for detection of polypeptides comprising a histidine phosphorylated at N3 (3-pHis). In some embodiments, the methods can be used to investigate signal transduction pathways.
