Publication number: 20220081474Abstract: Nucleic acids (also referred to herein as “constructs”) that encode allergenic proteins, allergenic polypeptides, and allergenic peptides are provided. The nucleic acids are designed for delivery to immune cells and production of allergenic proteins, polypeptides, and peptides within those cells. The encoded proteins, polypeptides, and peptides have targeting sequences for targeting of the proteins to the MHC-II compartment for processing and display of one or more epitopes, resulting in an immune response to the epitope(s). In general, the nucleic acids comprise the following domains, which correlate to the respective domains of the encoded protein: a signal sequence domain; an intra-organelle stabilizing domain; an allergen domain; a transmembrane domain; and a cytoplasmic lysosome/endosome targeting domain.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2020Publication date: March 17, 2022Applicant: Immunomic Therapeutics, IncInventors: William Hearl, Teri Heiland

Patent number: 7115370Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of detecting gene expression and analysis of both known and unknown genes. In the method utilizing combinatorial oligonucleotide PCR™, no single molecular species of DNA gives rise to more than one fragment in a collection of products which are subsequently amplified and representative of each expressed gene.
