Patents by Inventor Thomas Seebeck

Thomas Seebeck 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).

  • Publication number: 20130143250
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel amino acid and nucleic acid sequences of yclic nucleotide-specific phosphodiesterases from the parasite Leishmania major. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences as well as methods for producing and using the amino acid and nucleic acid sequences. The invention further relates to the use of these sequences, and of antibodies directed against these sequences, in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the infection of Leishmania major, including the identification of compounds that form complexes with the polypeptides and nucleic acids of the present invention.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 7598067
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated full-length nucleic acid molecules encoding the novel PDE protein of the invention, and methods for uses thereof. The nucleic acid molecules of the invention also include peptide nucleic acids (PNA), and antisense molecules that react with the nucleic acid molecules of the invention. The invention also relates to agonists, antibodies, antagonists or inhibitors of the activity of novel PDE proteins. These compositions are useful for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of conditions associated with the presence or the deficiency of novel PDE proteins.
