PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATION
Preparations including recombinant FSH (rFSH).
Compositions and methods for rapid in vitro synthesis of bioconjugate vaccines in vitro via production and N-glycosylation of protein carriers in detoxified prokaryotic cell lysates
Disclosed are methods, systems, components, and compositions for cell-free synthesis of glycosylated carrier proteins. The glycosylated carrier proteins may be utilized in vaccines, including anti-bacterial vaccines. The glycosylated carrier proteins may include a bacterial polysaccharide conjugated to a carrier, which may be utilized to generate an immune response in an immunized host against the polysaccharide conjugated to the carrier. The glycosylated carrier proteins may be synthesized in cell-free glycoprotein synthesis (CFGpS) systems using prokaryote cell lysates that are enriched in components for glycoprotein synthesis such as oligosaccharyltransferases (OSTs) and lipid-linked oligosaccharides (LLOs) including OSTs and LLOs associated with synthesis of bacterial O antigens.
PMST1 MUTANTS FOR CHEMOENZYMATIC SYNTHESIS OF SIALYL LEWIS X COMPOUNDS
The present invention provides mutants of PmST1 for the preparation of sialyl-Lewis.sup.x oligosaccharides, and other sialosides with decreased sialidase activity.
ENGINEERED CELLS FOR ADOPTIVE CELL THERAPY
Provided are engineered cells for adoptive therapy, including NK cells and T cells. Also provided are compositions for engineering and producing the cells, compositions containing the cells, and methods for their administration to subjects. In some aspects, features of the cells and methods provide specificity and/or efficacy. In some embodiments, the cells contain genetically engineered antigen receptors that specifically bind to antigens, such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and costimulatory receptors. In some embodiments, the cells include receptors targeting multiple antigens. In some embodiments, the cells include repression of one or more gene product, for example, by disruption of a gene encoding the gene product. In some embodiments, a gene encoding an antigen recognized by the engineered antigen receptor is disrupted, reducing the likelihood of targeting of the engineered cells.
PRODUCTION OF GLYCOPROTEINS WITH MAMMALIAN-LIKE N-GLYCANS IN FILAMENTOUS FUNGI
The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods useful for the production of recombinant glycoproteins in filamentous fungal cells, such as Trichoderma cells, wherein at least 90% (mol %), preferably at least 95% of the total neutral N-glycans of said produced recombinant glycoprotein are mammalian-like N-glycans. More specifically, the invention provides a filamentous fungal cell comprising i. one or more mutations that reduces or eliminates one or more endogenous protease activity compared to a parental filamentous fungal cell which does not have said mutation(s); ii.a polynucleotide encoding a heterologous catalytic subunit of oligosaccharyl transferase; iii. a recombinant polynucleotide for increasing 1, 2 mannosidase activity;and, iv. a recombinant polynucleotide encoding said heterologous glycoprotein.
PRODUCTION OF FC FRAGMENTS
In one aspect, the disclosure provides cells and transgenic non-human mammals for the production of Fc fragments, as well as compositions and uses thereof.
SIALYLTRANSFERASES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SIALYLATED OLIGOSACCHARIDES
The present invention is in the technical field of synthetic biology, metabolic engineering and cell cultivation. The present invention relates to newly identified sialyltransferases having alpha-2, 3-sialyltransferase activity on the galactose residue of lactose. The invention also describes methods for the production of a 3sialylated oligosaccharide using any one of the newly identified sialyltransferases as well as the purification of the 3sialylated oligosaccharide. The present invention also provides a cell for production of the 3sialylated oligosaccharide and the use of the cell in a cultivation or incubation.
Immune Modulation and Treatment of Solid Tumors with Antibodies that Specifically Bind CD38
The present invention relates to methods of immunomodulation and treating patients having solid tumors with antibodies that specifically bind CD38.
