Vibeke Westphal Stennicke 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: 20170190775
    Abstract: The invention relates to antibodies that are capable of specifically binding TREM-1 and preventing the activation of TREM-1, a protein expressed on monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils. Such antibodies find utility in the treatment of individuals with an inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

  • Patent number: 9663568
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for identifying TREM-1's ligand and antibodies, or fragments thereof, which are capable of modifying the function of TREM-1's ligand. Antibodies that reduce or block TREM-1 activation may be identified and selected using this method. Antibodies that bind to TREM-1's ligand and reduce TREM-1 activity may be suitable for use as medicaments.

  • Publication number: 20160251434
    Abstract: Novel activating receptors of the lg super-family expressed on human myeloid cells, called TREM(s) (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells) are provided. Specifically, two (2) members of TREMs, TREM-1 and TREM-2 are disclosed. TREM-1 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed selectively on blood neutrophils and a subset of monocytes but not on lymphocytes and other cell types and is upregulated by bacterial and fungal products. Use of TREM-1 in treatment and diagnosis of various inflammatory diseases is also provided. TREM-2 is also a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed selectively on mast cells and peripheral dendritic cells (DCs) but not on granulocytes or monocytes. DC stimulation via TREM-2 leads to DC maturation and resistance to apoptosis, and induces strong upregulation of CCR7 and subsequent chemotaxis toward macrophage inflammatory protein 3-?. TREM-2 has utility in modulating host immune responses in various immune disorders, including autoimmune diseases and allergic disorders.

  • Publication number: 20080299137
    Abstract: Novel fusion proteins that comprise a first portion that corresponds to an antibody-like protein that is specific for an activating receptor on an effector lymphocyte or a variant thereof and a second portion that corresponds to a portion of a cell membrane protein and that binds to a cell-associated target are provided, as are methods of producing such fusion proteins, uses and methods involving such fusion proteins, and compounds and compositions related to such fusion proteins.
