Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for the production of biopharmaceuticals implementing a baculovirus-based system. These methods advantageously allow the production of biopharmaceuticals with a reduced number of or without contaminating baculoviral virions.
Abstract:
A composition comprising a molecule for use in the delivery of the molecule to the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and/or to the central nervous system (CNS), wherein the composition is administered by regional infusion.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for prognosing, diagnosing, determining the risk, and monitoring the evolution of a muscular dystrophy. It also relates to a method for evaluating the efficacy of a treatment of a muscular dystrophy in a subject in need thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating a myopathy. In certain embodiments, the invention provides compositions and methods for treating, improving muscle function, and prolonging survival in a subject with X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLM™). The present invention provides a method comprising systemic administration of a composition that induces the increased expression of myotubularin in the muscle of a subject. The invention provides sustained regional and global increases in muscle function.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the delivery of therapeutic proteins to the CNS using recombinant AAV vectors. More specifically, the invention relates to compositions and methods for delivering proteins into the cerebrospinal fluid of mammalian subjects through peripheral administration of AAV vectors. The invention may be used to treat various disorders of the central nervous system, including degenerative diseases and motor neuron diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a novel short promoter characterized by a high activity in the skeletal muscles and a low activity in the heart. It then constitutes a valuable candidate especially for driving the expression of transgenes encoding proteins useful for the treatment of muscular dystrophies.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an expression system for systemic administration comprising a sequence encoding a FKRP protein, and:
a promoter sequence allowing the expression at a therapeutically acceptable level of FKRP in the skeletal muscles and a target sequence of an miRNA expressed in the heart; or a promoter sequence allowing the expression at a therapeutically acceptable level of FKRP in the skeletal muscles and presenting a promoter activity at a toxically acceptable level in the heart;
and its use for the treatment of various diseases linked to FKRP deficiencies.
