Avalon GloboCare Announces Issuance of Key U.S. Patent for Multiple Novel QTY-Code Modified Cytokine and Chemokine Protein Receptor Molecules
18 January 2023 - 1:00AM
Avalon GloboCare Corp. (“Avalon” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: ALBT), a leading global developer of innovative
cell-based technologies and therapeutics and laboratory testing
provider, today announced that the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued U.S. Patent No. 11,555,060,
titled “QTY Fc Fusion Water Soluble Receptor Proteins.” The issued
claims cover the composition of matter and methodology for multiple
novel QTY-code modified cytokine and chemokine protein receptor
molecules. The patent was jointly filed with Dr. Shuguang Zhang of
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
The “QTY Code,” is a breakthrough technology
that can turn difficult to work with water-insoluble transmembrane
receptor proteins into water-soluble proteins, greatly enhancing
the solubility of designer peptides and proteins, therefore
expanding the repertoire of selected therapeutic targets against
cancers and other diseases.
“We are pleased to be granted this key patent by
the USPTO which expands our intellectual property portfolio,”
stated David Jin, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive
Officer of Avalon GloboCare. “We have jointly filed 16 patent
applications, co-invented with key strategic partners, including a
top-5 U.S. university, a leading education and research center in
Europe, as well as a premier multi-national developer of cellular
therapies in the field of oncology, and this issuance further
enhances our position as a leader in immuno-oncology and cellular
medicines.”
“The QTY code protein design platform, which was
developed together with Professor Shuguang Zhang’s laboratory at
MIT, can turn water-insoluble proteins that normally reside within
cellular membranes—and that can be difficult to work within the
laboratory—into water-soluble proteins that can be potentially used
in many clinical applications. The resulting soluble, antibody-like
cytokine/chemokine decoy receptors derived using the QTY protein
design, have many potential applications including mitigation of
the “cytokine storm” associated with COVID-19 and cellular
immunotherapy delivery, as well as broadening the range of
therapeutic targets addressable by CAR T-cell therapies,” concluded
Dr. Jin.
