Abstract:
The present application provides a method for treating Pompe disease in a subject in need thereof, that includes a method of administering to the subject a GAA enzyme in combination with an ASSC for the GAA enzyme. The present application also provides methods for increasing the in vitro and in vivo stability of a GAA enzyme formulation.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods to determine whether a patient with a lysosomal storage disorder will benefit from treatment with a specific pharmacological chaperone. The present invention exemplifies an in vitro method for determining α-galactosidase A responsiveness to a pharmacological chaperone such as 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin in a cell line expressing a mutant from of α-galactosidase A. The invention also provides a method for diagnosing Fabry disease in patients suspected of having Fabry disease.
Abstract:
Provided are in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo methods for determining whether a patient with Pompe disease will respond to treatment with a specific pharmacological chaperone.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for diagnosing Pompe disease in a patient by measuring acid α-glucosidase activity in a sample from the patient. The invention also provides a method for monitoring the treatment of Pompe disease with specific pharmacological chaperones by measuring acid α-glucosidase activity in a sample from the patient.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for improving the production of recombinant proteins through the use of pharmacological chaperones for the recombinant proteins. As exemplified by the present invention, the binding of a pharmacological chaperone to a recombinant protein expressed by a cell can stabilize the protein and increase export of the protein out of the cell's endoplasmic reticulum, and increase secretion of the protein by the cell.

Abstract:
Compositions and methods are provided for the in vivo gene delivery of nucleic acid sequences encoding the factor VIII protein to the liver endothelial sinusoidal cells (LSECs). Compositions and methods are also provided for the ex vivo gene transfer of nucleic acid sequences encoding the factor VIII protein to cultured LSECs and the implantation of the transformed LSECs in vivo. These methods and compositions increase the level of factor VIII in the blood stream and find use in the gene therapy treatment of hemophilia A.
