C12N9/40
HIGHLY POTENT ACID ALPHA-GLUCOSIDASE WITH ENHANCED CARBOHYDRATES
Recombinant human alpha glucosidase (rhGAA) composition derived from CHO cells that contains a more optimized glycan composition consisting of a higher amount of rhGAA containing N-glycans carrying mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) or bis-M6P than conventional rhGAAs, along with low amount of non-phosphorylated high mannose glycans, and low amount of terminal galactose on complex oligosaccharides. Compositions containing the rhGAA, and methods of use are described.
Lipid nanoparticle compositions and methods for mRNA delivery
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for modulating the production of a protein in a target cell. The compositions and methods disclosed herein are capable of ameliorating diseases associated with protein or enzyme deficiencies.
LYSOSOMAL ENZYMES MODIFIED BY CELL BASED GLYCOENGINEERING
The present invention relates to lysosomal enzymes modified by use of cell based methods, a compositions comprising a modified lysosomal enzyme, as well as methods for producing a modified lysosomal enzyme and therapeutic use of such modified lysosomal enzyme. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a modified lysosomal enzyme which has low Man6P and low exposed Mannose and high sialic acid content of alpha2,3 type enabling long circulation time and improved uptake into difficult-to-reach organs like heart, kidney and brain.
Microorganism capable of displaying α-galactosidase on surface layer thereof, and use thereof
The present invention provides a transformed microorganism capable of displaying α-galactosidase on its surface layer. Also provided is a method for producing an alcohol, which includes the step of culturing the transformed microorganism in a culture medium containing a material that contains an oligosaccharide α-1,6 linked α-galactose. Also provided is a method for producing lactic acid using such a transformed microorganism together with a material that contains an oligosaccharide α-1,6 linked α-galactose. According to the present invention, a microorganism can be provided, which can degrade an oligosaccharide containing α-1,6 linked α-galactose, which may occur in soybean molasses.
FOOD SUPPLEMENT COMPOSITION TO AID IN DIGESTION OF FRUCTAN, MANNITOL, AND SORBITOL
The technology described herein is directed to combinations and combinations for reducing the symptoms of digestive conditions, e.g., caused by ingestion of FODMAPs.
FABRY DISEASE GENE THERAPY
There is described a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding for a functional α-galactosidase A protein wherein the nucleotide sequence has at least 85% identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO. 1. Also described is a vector, host cell or transgenic animal comprising the nucleic acid molecule; and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the nucleic acid molecule or the vector. Further, the use of the nucleic acid molecule in a method of treating Fabry disease is described.
Porcine animals lacking expression of functional alpha 1, 3 galactosyltransferase
The present invention is a porcine animal, tissue, organ, cells and cell lines, which lack any expression of functional alpha 1,3 galactosyltransferase (alpha1,3GT). These animals, tissues, organs and cells can be used in xenotransplantation and for other medical purposes.
Methods and compositions for the treatment of Fabry disease
Nucleases and methods of using these nucleases for inserting a sequence encoding a therapeutic α-Gal A protein such as an enzyme into a cell, thereby providing proteins or cell therapeutics for treatment and/or prevention of Fabry disease.
Lipid nanoparticle compositions and methods for mRNA delivery
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for modulating the production of a protein in a target cell. The compositions and methods disclosed herein are capable of ameliorating diseases associated with protein or enzyme deficiencies.
POLYNUCLEOTIDES ENCODING ALPHA-GALACTOSIDASE A FOR THE TREATMENT OF FABRY DISEASE
The invention relates to mRNA therapy for the treatment of Fabry disease. mRNAs for use in the invention, when administered in vivo, encode human the α-galactosidase A (GLA), isoforms thereof, functional fragments thereof, and fusion proteins comprising GLA. mRNAs of the invention are preferably encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to effect efficient delivery to cells and/or tissues in subjects, when administered thereto. mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of GLA expression and/or activity in subjects. mRNA therapies of the invention further decrease levels of toxic metabolites associated with deficient GLA activity in subjects, namely Gb3 and lyso-Gb3.
