The present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising a transferrin receptor binding domain (TRBD) of a ferritin variant. The TRBD comprises one or more glutamine residues mutated into glutamic acid residues and/or one or more asparagine residues mutated into aspartic acid residues. 5 The invention further relates to a complex of this polypeptide and a label or drug, and an isolated cellular delivery system comprising the polypeptide or the complex of the invention as well as uses of such system for prophylaxis, therapy, diagnosis or theragnosis, in particular for therapy of cancer or inflammatory diseases.

The invention relates to materials and methods of conjugating a water soluble polymer to an oxidized carbohydrate moiety of a therapeutic protein comprising contacting the oxidized carbohydrate moiety with an activated water soluble polymer under conditions that allow conjugation. More specifically, the present invention relates to the aforementioned materials and methods wherein the water soluble polymer contains an active aminooxy group and wherein an oxime or hydrazone linkage is formed between the oxidized carbohydrate moiety and the active aminooxy group on the water soluble polymer, and wherein the conjugation is carried out in the presence of a nucleophilic catalyst.

The invention refers to a human lactoferrin derived peptide for use as an antigen masking agent in the production of a pharmaceutical composition for delivery of a biological active substance in a mammalian organism, where the biological active substance is able to induce an undesired immune response by the mammalian organism, where the pharmaceutical composition comprises a supramolecular aggregate of the biological active substance and the human lactoferrin derived peptide, with the effect that after delivery of pharmaceutical composition to the mammalian organism, there is no or only a diminished induction of the undesired immune response against the biological active substance.

The invention relates to binding molecules that bind specifically to prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), in particular, single human variable heavy chain domain antibodies and related methods for treatment of cancer.

The present invention provides a composition, a dairy product, and a method for treating a disorder in a subject. The composition includes (i) polymeric nanoparticles and (ii) camel derived glycosaminoglycans (GAG)s ionic complex encapsulated into the nanoparticles, at least one active ingredient encapsulated into the nanoparticles, or combinations thereof. The nanoparticles are lactoferrin nanoparticles including camel derived lactoferrin, casein nanoparticles including camel derived casein, or combinations thereof. The dairy product includes ice cream or frozen yogurt, wherein the ice cream or frozen yogurt includes the composition and is derived from camel milk or other species of milk. The method for treating a disorder in a subject includes administering a therapeutic dose of the composition to the subject.

The present invention relates to a p75NTR neurotrophin binding protein, p75NTR(NBP), for use in the treatment of pain and/or a symptom of pain.

This invention provides compositions and methods to treat, prevent, and diagnose viral infections. The methods provided herein involve administering one or more polypeptides of the invention to a subject in need thereof. The viral infections can be caused by a coronavirus such as, for example, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2 or a variant thereof. It is contemplated that the polypeptide can be linked to an amino acid, wherein the compound extends the serum half-life of the amino acid.

Provided are substantially dephosphorylated forms of lysosomal storage disease (LSD) proteins, including dephosphorylated forms of iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS, or 12D) and iduronidase (IDU), having increased ability to traverse or penetrate the blood brain barrier (BBB) relative to phosphorylated forms of the protein, and p97 conjugates thereof. Also provided are compositions comprising such dephosphorylated LSD proteins and p97 conjugates, and methods of use thereof, for instance, to treat any one or more lysosomal storage diseases, such as Hunter Syndrome (or MPS Type II).

The present invention provides a compound for the sequestration of undesirable antibodies (e.g. related to an autoimmune disease) in a patient. The compound comprises an inert biopolymer scaffold and at least a first peptide n-mer of the general formula P(-S-P).sub.(n-1) and a second peptide n-mer of the general formula P(-S-P).sub.(n-1); wherein, independently for each occurrence, P is a peptide with a sequence length of 2-13 amino acids and S is a non-peptide spacer, wherein, independently for each of the peptide n-mers, n is an integer of at least 1, wherein each of the peptide n-mers is bound to the biopolymer scaffold. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compound, as well as a method of sequestering one or more antibodies present in an individual and a method of inhibiting an immune reaction to a treatment with an active agent.

The present invention relates to a new therapeutic use of a p75NTR neurotrophin binding protein and related molecules in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
