Disclosed herein are novel compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and related methods of their use. The compounds described herein are useful, e.g., as liposomal delivery vehicles to facilitate the delivery of encapsulated polynucleotides to target cells and subsequent iransfection of said target cells, and in certain embodiments are characterized as having one or more properties that afford such compounds advantages relative to other similarly classified lipids.

An isolated antigen-binding protein characterised in that it is capable of binding specifically to human Arginase II (ARG2) and inhibiting the enzyme activity of human ARG2.

Provided are use of an arginase (e.g., a non-PEGylated arginase or a PEGylated arginase) in the treatment of viral-associated diseases or disorders, use of arginase in the treatment of other pathogen-associated diseases or disorders, and kits comprising arginase for said uses.

The present invention relates to the treatment of respiratory viral infections, including those caused by coronaviruses.

Provided herein are recombinant polynucleotides including a first nucleic acid sequence encoding an antigen, and a second nucleic acid sequence encoding an enzyme of an amino acid catabolic pathway. The provided recombinant polynucleotides are particularly useful for inducing long-lived immune responses having improved memory characteristics. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, viral particles, and host cells including the disclosed recombinant polynucleotides, and methods for using the disclosed materials.

The present invention provides an engineered cell, such as a T-cell, which expresses a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or an engineered T-cell receptor (TCR) and one or more enzymes which, when secreted or expressed at the cell surface causes depletion of a molecule extracellular to the engineered cell; wherein said molecule is selected from: an amino acid; a nucleotide or nucleoside; or a lipid.

Methods and compositions comprising recombinant Arginase I proteins which are capable of depleting the plasma arginine levels in a subject are disclosed. The methods and compositions can be used to modulate the activity of the immune system in a subject. Modulation of the immune system is useful in the treatment of immune disorders and in preventing rejection of a transplanted organ, tissue, or cell. The methods and compositions can also be used to treat a bone condition of a subject.

The present invention relates to novel polypeptides, which are derived from Arginase 1. The invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to compositions comprising the polypeptides and polynucleotides. The invention also concerns uses of the polypeptides, polynucleotides, and compositions.
