US Patent:
8377448, Feb 19, 2013
Filed:
Jan 14, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/687334
Inventors:
Craig A. Smith - Seattle WA, US
Steven Wiley - Seattle WA, US
Ajamete Kaykas - Seattle WA, US
Peter Probst - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Standford Junior University - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
A61K 39/00
US Classification:
4241851, 4241921, 530300, 530810
Abstract:
Provide herein are fusion polypeptides that comprise a CD47 extracellular domain or a variant thereof that is fused to a Fc polypeptide. The fusion polypeptides are useful for treating an immunological disease or disorder in a subject according to the methods described herein. The fusion polypeptides are capable of suppressing immunoresponsiveness of an immune cell, inhibiting production of proinflammatory cytokines, including inhibiting immune complex-induced production of cytokines.

US Patent:
20050233994, Oct 20, 2005
Filed:
Apr 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/826130
Inventors:
Ajamete Kaykas - Seattle WA, US
Randall Moon - Kenmore WA, US
International Classification:
A61K048/00
C12Q001/68
C12N015/09
US Classification:
514044000, 435006000, 435320100
Abstract:
In a first aspect, the invention provides expression vectors comprising: (a) a first RNA polymerase III promoter operably associated with a first RNA polymerase III termination signal and (b) a second RNA polymerase III promoter operably associated with a second RNA polymerase III termination signal, wherein the first and second RNA polymerase III promoters are oriented to promote bidirectional transcription of an insert disposed between the first and the second RNA polymerase III termination signals. In other aspects, the invention provide methods for using these expression vectors for inhibiting expression of target genes, for determining the effect of siRNAs on biological processes, and for identifying siRNAs that affect biological processes.

US Patent:
20070134234, Jun 14, 2007
Filed:
Sep 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/541449
Inventors:
Craig Smith - Seattle WA, US
Steven Wiley - Seattle WA, US
Ajamete Kaykas - Seattle WA, US
Jalal Vakili - Seattle WA, US
Peter Probst - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Viral Logic Systems Technology Corp. - Seattle WA
International Classification:

C07H 21/04
C12P 21/06
C07K 16/46
C12N 5/06
C12P 21/08
US Classification:
424133100, 424178100, 530391100, 435069100, 435327000, 435320100, 536023530
Abstract:
The poxvirus proteins designated A41L and 130L bind to three receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTP), leukocyte common antigen related protein (LAR), RPTP-δ, and RPTP-σ, that are present on the cell surface of immune cells. When a host is infected with the poxvirus, binding of A41L to cell surface proteins on the host cells results in suppression of the immune response. The present invention provides agents such as antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, small molecules, aptamers, small interfering RNAs, and peptide-IgFc fusion polypeptides that interact with one or more of LAR, RPTP-δ, and RPTP-σ expressed by immune cells or interact with a polynucleotide encoding the RPTP. Also provided are RPTP Ig domain oligomers and Fc fusion polypeptides. Such agents are useful for treating an immunological disorder in a subject according to the methods described herein.

Appl. No.:
17/350761
Inventors:
- South San Francisco CA, US
Ajamete Kaykas - San Francisco CA, US
Eilon Sharon - Menlo Park CA, US
Cecilia Giovanna Silvia Cotta-Ramusino - Cambridge MA, US
Mohammad Muneeb Sultan - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:
G16B 40/20
G16H 50/20
G06N 20/00
G16B 50/30
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure include implementing a ML-enabled cellular disease model for validating an intervention, identifying patient populations that are likely responders to an intervention, and developing a therapeutic structure-activity relationship screen. To generate a cellular disease model, data is combined from human genetic cohorts, from the literature, and from general-purpose cellular or tissue-level genomic data to unravel the set of factors (e.g., genetic, environmental, cellular factors) that give rise to a particular disease. In vitro cells are engineered using the set of factors to generate training data for training machine learning models that are useful for implementing cellular disease models.
