The present disclosure provides antibodies that bind complement C1s protein; and nucleic acid molecules that encode such antibodies. In some embodiments, such anti-complement C1s antibodies inhibit proteolytic activity of C1s. The present disclosure also provides compositions comprising such antibodies, and methods to produce and use such antibodies, nucleic acid molecules, and compositions.

The present disclosure reports that a calcium-dependent serine protease, complement component is (C1s) has been identified as a protease responsive for cleavage of exogenous polypeptides expressed in mammalian cell lines such as CHO cells. These CHO cell lines provide for increased yield of antigenically correct, uncleaved exogenous polypeptide as compared to unmodified CHO cells expressing the active C1s protease. C1s-deficient cell lines and methods for use of same for producing exogenous polypeptides, e.g., human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein polypeptides, such as, gp120 or human Factor VIII are provided.

The present invention provides an expression cassette for a target gene and use thereof. Specifically, the present invention provides an expression cassette having elements such as HCR, DSE, TPL and eMlp, an encoding nucleic acid thereof, an expression vector thereof, a host cell thereof, a pharmaceutical composition thereof, a gene delivery system thereof, and use thereof. The present invention further provides a C1-INH protein-encoding nucleic acid molecule and use thereof.
