C12N9/2402
COMPOSITIONS FOR DRG-SPECIFIC REDUCTION OF TRANSGENE EXPRESSION
Provided herein are nucleic acid sequence encoding hIDUA and expression cassettes containing these coding sequences. Also provided are vectors, such as recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors having a vector genome including a hIDUA coding sequence operably linked regulatory sequences that direct expression of the hIDUA. Also provided are compositions containing these expression cassettes and rAAV vectors and methods of treating MPS1 or an associated syndrome such as Hurler, Hurler-Scheie and/or Scheie syndrome. The compositions and methods provided are further designed to selectively repress expression of hIDUA in dorsal root ganglia.
COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING SULFORAPHANE OR A SULFORAPHANE PRECURSOR AND MORINGA PLANT COMPONENTS
A composition including a Moringa plant component for treating, preventing, reducing the occurrence of, decreasing the symptoms associated with, and/or reducing secondary recurrences of cancer in a subject is provided. The composition may comprise a Moringa plant component in an amount of 1 mg to 1750 mg, and sulforaphane or a sulforaphane derivative in an amount of 1 mg to 50 mg. Alternatively, the composition may comprise a Moringa plant component in an amount of 150 mg to 1500 mg sulforaphane precursor in an amount of 1 mg to 50 mg. The Moringa plant component can be Moringa leaf extract containing 10 mg of moringin per 1000 mg of the Moringa leaf extract. The composition may also include at least one of a mushroom extract or powder and a broccoli extract or powder.
Plant regulatory elements and uses thereof
The invention provides recombinant DNA molecules and constructs, as well as their nucleotide sequences, useful for modulating gene expression in plants. The invention also provides transgenic plants, plant cells, plant parts, and seeds comprising the recombinant DNA molecules operably linked to heterologous transcribable DNA molecules, as are methods of their use.
SIALIDASE-CD20-ANTIBODY FUSION PROTEINS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
The invention relates generally to recombinant sialidase and anti-CD20 immunoglobulin antigen-binding domain fusion proteins. The invention also provides antibody conjugates including a sialidase and an anti-CD20 antibody or a portion thereof. The invention further relates to methods of using the sialidase fusion proteins or antibody conjugates for treating cancer.
ALTERATION OF FLAVOR TRAITS IN CONSUMER CROPS VIA DISABLEMENT OF THE MYROSINASE/GLUCOSINOLATE SYSTEM
The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for breeding plants with an altered flavor or odor profile. Particularly, next generation plant breeding technologies are utilized for producing plants with target genes edited to reduce pungency in flavor or odor. The breeding method is capable of producing mustard plants in which the mustard bomb reaction is disarmed and/or plants with a reduced pungency and/or bitterness in flavor and/or odor.
CHIMERIC PROTEINS FOR SELECTIVE LYSIS OF BACTERIA
The present invention provides chimeric ectolysins useful for selective suppression of certain targeted bacterial species while having little to no effect on closely related non-targeted bacterial species. Specifically, the disclosure provides polypeptides for selective suppression of growth of Staphylococcus aureus and/or S. hominis but not S. epidermidis. Compositions and methods for selective suppression of target bacterial species are also provided.
Methods and compositions for increasing alpha-L-iduronidase activity in the CNS
Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a subject suffering from a deficiency in α-L-Iduronidase in the CNS. The methods include systemic administration of a bifunctional fusion antibody comprising an antibody to a human insulin receptor and an α-L-Iduronidase. A therapeutically effective systemic dose is based on the specific CNS uptake characteristics of human insulin receptor antibody-α-L-Iduronidase fusion antibodies as described herein.
DELIVERY OF SIALIDASE TO CANCER CELLS, IMMUNE CELLS AND THE TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT
Recombinant oncolytic viruses for expression of sialidase and their use in the treatment of cancer, particularly solid tumors, are described.
SIALIDASE-PD-L1-ANTIBODY FUSION PROTEINS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
The invention relates generally to recombinant sialidase and anti-PD-L1 immunoglobulin antigen-binding domain fusion proteins. The invention also provides antibody conjugates including a sialidase and an anti-PD-L1 antibody or a portion thereof. The invention further relates to methods of using the sialidase fusion proteins or antibody conjugates for treating cancer.
Methods for cleansing medical devices
The present invention relates to compositions such as cleaning compositions comprising a mix of enzymes. The invention further relates, use of compositions comprising such enzymes in cleaning processes.
