Title: Wolfgang Hammerschmidt: Advancing Epstein–Barr Virus Research
Introduction
Wolfgang Hammerschmidt is an inventor associated with Madison, Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. His patent work includes an invention involving the lytic origin of replication for Epstein–Barr virus (EBV).
Latest Patents
Hammerschmidt is credited with 1 patent: “Lytic origin of replication for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).” The invention describes recombinant lymphotrophic herpes viruses, preferably EBV, with isolated and cloned portions responsible for viral packaging and lytic-phase replication. Used with suitable vectors and host cells containing a segment that controls plasmid replication, these components provide a means of carrying foreign genes into B-lymphocytes.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects research into viral replication and the use of viral components as tools for delivering genetic material to B-lymphocytes. Hammerschmidt is associated with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, which supports research and innovation connected with the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Collaborations
William M. Sugden is identified as Hammerschmidt’s coworker. Their shared research context is connected to work on EBV and its potential applications in gene delivery.
Conclusion
Wolfgang Hammerschmidt’s patent describes a method for using EBV-related replication and packaging components to carry foreign genes into B-lymphocytes, highlighting the intersection of virology and genetic research.
