RANDOMIZED CONFIGURATION TARGETED INTEGRATION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS
20230279583 · 2023-09-07 · ·

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to “Randomized Configuration Targeted Integration” (also referred to herein as “Randomized Chain Targeted Integration”) (RCTI) strategies for the generation and identification of host cells capable of expressing recombinant proteins, e.g., monoclonal antibodies, as well as compositions derived from the same, e.g., bispecific antibodies, and other complex format proteins, e.g., membrane protein complexes and other difficult to express molecules.

Yeast display of proteins in the periplasmic space

Compositions and methods for displaying antibodies in the periplasmic space of yeast cells are disclosed. In particular, antibodies are linked to a cell membrane-spanning transmembrane domain, a cell-membrane associated protein domain that is on the external face of the yeast cell membrane, a protein that binds to the inner face of the yeast cell wall, or a periplasmic protein in order to display the antibodies in the yeast periplasmic space. In addition, a target protein of interest can be coexpressed in yeast such that it is localized to the plasma membrane or periplasmic space and accessible to binding by displayed antibodies. The disclosure further relates to high-throughput screening of antibody libraries using yeast cell periplasmic display.

PROCESS FOR MAKING A RECOMBINANT AAV LIBRARY
20230357794 · 2023-11-09 ·

The present invention relates to a process for producing a library of recombinant adeno-associated vims (AAV) particles which are encapsidated by a variety of different capsid polypeptides. Each recombinant AAV particle in the library comprises an AAV genome which comprises AAV ITRs flanking a first AAV cap gene encoding a first Cap polypeptide, wherein the particles in the library differ in the nucleotide sequences of their first AAV cap genes, and wherein each particle in the library is encapsidated by a Cap polypeptide which is encoded by the cap gene within its AAV genome. The library may be used to screen for recombinant AAV particles which have high specificity for cells of a target therapeutic tissue.
