Abstract:
Modified DNase I protein in which one or more amino acids of a DNase I protein are modified non-cellularly, are provided. The modified DNase I protein exhibits a DNA hydrolytic activity in the presence of actin and an improved DNA hydrolytic activity compared to a homologous non-modified DNase I protein. Processes of preparing the modified DNase I protein and uses thereof in, for example, reducing a DNA content in sputum and/or in treating a disease or condition associated with excess extracellular DNA in a fluid, secretion or tissue of a subject, are also provided.
Abstract:
A method of treating a TNF Alpha associated medical condition selected from the group consisting of obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and a liver disease or disorder is provided. The method comprising enterally administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of plant cells expressing a TNF Alpha polypeptide inhibitor, thereby treating the TNF Alpha associated medical condition.
Abstract:
A plant produced chimeric polypeptide is provided. The plant produced chimeric polypeptide comprising:(i) a first domain which comprises a TNF Alpha binding domain of a TNF receptor, and(ii) a second domain which comprises an Fc domain of an immunoglobulin, wherein the first domain and the second domain are N-terminally to C-terminally respectively sequentially translationally fused and wherein the chimeric polypeptide specifically binds TNF Alpha.
Abstract:
Multimeric protein structures comprising at least two alpha-galactosidase monomers being covalently linked to one another via a linking moiety are disclosed herein, as well a process for preparing same, and methods of treating Fabry disease via administration of a multimeric protein structure. The disclosed multimeric protein structures exhibit an improved performance, in terms of enhanced activity and/or a longer lasting activity under both lysosomal conditions and in a serum environment.
Abstract:
A method of maintaining disease stability in a subject having Gaucher's disease following switch from enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is provided. The method comprising orally administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of recombinant glucocerebrosidase (GCD) comprised in plant cells, thereby maintaining disease stability following switch.
Abstract:
An inhalable pharmaceutical composition for pulmonary administration comprising human DNase I and a liquid carrier and, more particularly, but not exclusively, to methods, liquid pharmaceutical inhalation devices and systems for the therapeutic use thereof are provided.
Abstract:
A device, system and method for producing glycosylated proteins in plant culture, particularly proteins having a high mannose glycosylation, while targeting such proteins with an ER signal and/or by-passing the Golgi. The invention further relates to vectors and methods for expression and production of enzymatically active high mannose lysosomal enzymes using transgenic plant root, particularly carrot cells. More particularly, the invention relates to host cells, particularly transgenic suspended carrot cells, vectors and methods for high yield expression and production of biologically active high mannose Glucocerebrosidase (GCD). The invention further provides for compositions and methods for the treatment of lysosomal storage diseases.
Abstract:
A method of treating Gaucher's disease in a subject in need thereof is provided. The method comprising orally administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of recombinant glucocerecbrosidase (GCD) comprised in plant cells, wherein said therapeutically effective amount of GCD corresponds to 1-1920 units/Kg/14 days, thereby treating Gaucher's disease. Also provide unit dosage forms which comprise the glucocerecbrosidase (GCD) comprised in plant cells.
