摘要:
Described herein are isolated nucleic acid molecules comprising nucleotide sequence encoding mannose receptor, C type 1 (MRC1) wherein the 5′ region of the nucleotide sequence encoding MRC1 is codon optimized; cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules; and methods of detecting antibody production, e.g., neutralizing antibody production, in a subject being treated for Gaucher disease using such cells.

摘要:
The present invention provides, among other things, compositions and methods for treatment of Friedrich's Ataxia based on effective targeting of a therapeutic moiety to mitochondria that can substitute for natural FXN protein activity or rescue one or more phenotypes or symptoms associated with frataxin-deficiency. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a targeted therapeutic comprising a therapeutic moiety, which is a polypeptide having an N-terminus and a C-terminus, a mitochondrial targeting sequence associated with the therapeutic moiety at the N-terminus, and a mitochondrial membrane-penetrating peptide associated with the therapeutic moiety at the C-terminus, wherein the therapeutic moiety is targeted to mitochondria upon cellular entry.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods of manufacturing synthetic DNAs, that is, DNAs made at least in significant part by chemical synthesis of nucleic acid polymers. Also provided are methods for assembling plural DNAs in the same pool by multiplexed assembly of synthetic oligonucleotides. In exemplary embodiments, the methods involve pre-amplification of one or more oligonucleotides using “universal” primers, reduction of the error rate in oligonucleotide and/or nucleic acid products, and sequence optimization and oligonucleotides design. Also provided are low-purity arrays of nucleic acids and methods for assembling nucleic acids using oligonucleotides obtained from low-purity arrays.

摘要:
Among other things, the present invention provides methods and compositions of treating Sanfilippo syndrome type B (Sanfilippo B) by, e.g., intrathecal (IT) administration of a Naglu protein. A suitable Naglu protein can be a recombinant, gene-activated or natural protein. In some embodiments, a suitable Naglu protein is a recombinant Naglu protein. In some embodiments, a recombinant Naglu protein is a fusion protein containing a Naglu domain and a lysosomal targeting moiety. In some embodiments, the lysosomal targeting domain is an IGF-II moiety.
