    摘要: Methods for producing polypeptide with altered immunogenicity or improved stability properties are disclosed. The methods involve a) expressing a diversified population of nucleotide sequences encoding a polypeptide of interest, b) screening the polypeptides expressed in step a) for function, immunogenicity and/or stability, c) selecting functional polypeptides having altered immunogenicity and/or increased stability, e.g. functional in vivo half-life as compared to the polypeptide of interest, and d) optionally subjecting the nucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide selected in step c) to one or more repeated cycles of steps a)-c). In a further step the expressed polypeptides of step a) or c) can be conjugated to at least one non-polypeptide moiety.

    摘要: Disclosed are novel methods for increasing muscle mass by means of immunization against Growth Differentiation Factor 8 (GDF-8, myostatin). Immunization is preferably effected by administration of analogues of GDF-8 which are capable of inducing antibody production against homologous GDF-8. Especially preferred as an immunogen is homologous GDF-8 which has been modified by introduction of one single or a few foreign, immunodominant and promiscuous T-cell epitopes while substantially preserving the tertiary structure of the homologous GDF-8. Also disclosed are nucleic acid vaccination against GDF-8 and vaccination using live vaccines as well as methods and means useful for the vaccination. Such methods and means include methods for identification of useful immunogenic GDF-8 analogues, methods for the preparation of analogues and pharmaceutical formulations, as well as nucleic acid fragments, vectors, transformed cells, polypeptides and pharmaceutical formulations.
