The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel system for the delivery of a drug to a posterior segment of the eye. The present invention relates to: a cytophilic peptide-fused high-density lipoprotein (cHDL) which can be used as a carrier for the delivery of a drug to a posterior segment of the eye; a method for producing the cytophilic peptide-fused high-density lipoprotein; a system of the delivery of a drug to a posterior segment of the eye, a pharmaceutical composition, and a system of the delivery of a drug to a posterior segment of the eye, each of which utilizes the cytophilic peptide-fused high-density lipoprotein; and a method for diagnosing, preventing or treating posterior ocular disease.

A bacterial strain suitable for expressing recombinant proteins contains an open reading frame which codes for a recombinant protein, under control of a functional promoter. The bacterial strain contains an open reading frame which codes for a muted peptidologycan-associated lipoprotein (PAL protein), under control of a functional promoter, wherein the PAL protein is muted such that it contains no membrane anchor for the outer cell membrane of the bacterial strain. A plasmid codes for a recombinant protein. Fermentative production of recombinant protein is facilitated by using the bacterial strain, with increased product yields in the culture residue without leading to a substantial die-off of the bacterial cells.

The present invention provides a nanodisc with a membrane scaffold protein. The nanodisc includes a membrane scaffold protein, a telodendrimer and a lipid. The membrane scaffold protein can be apolipoprotein. The telodendrimer has the general formula PEG-L-D-(R).sub.n, wherein D is a dendritic polymer; L is a bond or a linker linked to the focal point group of the dendritic polymer; each PEG is a polyethylene glycol) polymer; each R is and end group of the dendritic polymer, or and end group with a covalently bound hydrophobic group, hydrophilic group, amphiphilic compound, or drug; and subscript n is an integer from 2 to 20. Cell free methods of making the nanodiscs are also provided.
