  • Patent number: 8846385
    Abstract: Lentiviral vectors modified at the 5? LTR or both the 5? and 3? LTR's are useful in the production of recombinant lentivirus vectors. Such vectors can be produced in the absence of a functional tat gene. Multiple transformation of the host cell with the vector carrying the transgene enhances virus production.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 30, 2014
    Assignee: GBP IP, LLC
    Inventors: Luigi Naldini, Thomas Dull, Deborah A. Farson, Rochelle Witt
  • Patent number: 8652837
    Abstract: Lentiviral vectors modified at the 5? LTR or both the 5? and 3? LTR are useful in the production of recombinant lentivirus vectors (See the Figure). Such vectors can be produced in the absence of a functional tat gene. Multiple transformation of the host cell with the vector carrying the transgene enhances virus production. The vectors can contain inducible or conditional promoters.

  • Patent number: 7745179
    Abstract: Recombinant lentiviruses and transfer vectors for transgene delivery as well as methods for gene therapy using such vectors are disclosed. The invention provides a third generation lentiviral packaging system and a set of vectors for producing recombinant lentiviruses, as well as novel tissue specific enhancer and promoter elements useful for optimizing liver specific transgene delivery. The transgene is preferably a blood clotting factor such as human factor IX (hFIX) or human factor VIII (hFVIII) and can be used for treatment of hemophilia.

  • Patent number: 7183969
    Abstract: A system and technique for calibrating a plurality of radars provides a set of simultaneous equations derived from monostatic echo returns from a plurality of targets. A solution of the simultaneous equations provides relative position calibration factors and time delay calibration factors associated with the plurality of radars. The relative position calibration factors and the time delay calibration factors allow the plurality of radars to be coherently combined with only a small amount of processing gain loss compared with an ideal coherent processing gain.
