Modified polynucleotides for the production of cytoplasmic and cytoskeletal proteins
The invention relates to compositions including polynucleotides encoding polypeptides which have been chemically modified by replacing the uridines with 1-methyl-pseudouridine to improve one or more of the stability and/or clearance in tissues, receptor uptake and/or kinetics, cellular access by the compositions, engagement with translational machinery, mRNA half-life, translation efficiency, immune evasion, protein production capacity, secretion efficiency, accessibility to circulation, protein half-life and/or modulation of a cell's status, function, and/or activity.
PD1-CD70 fusion protein and methods of use thereof
PD1-CD70 fusion proteins are provided. Accordingly, there is provided a PD1-CD70 fusion protein comprising a single amino acid linker between the PD1 and the CD70. Also there is provided a PD1-CD70 fusion protein, wherein the PD1 amino acid is 123-166 amino acids in length and/or wherein the PD1 amino acid sequence comprises SEQ ID NO: 2 and/or wherein the fusion protein is in a form of at least a homo-trimer. Also provided are polynucleotides and nucleic acid constructs encoding the PD1-CD70 fusion protein, host-cells expressing the PD1-CD70 fusion protein and methods of use thereof.
Therapy for the Treatment of Cancer
