Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an in vitro method of producing a recombinant AAV virion in a mammalian host cell that comprises a functional adenoviral E1A gene (e.g., a HEK 293T cell) and rAAV virions made by the method.
Abstract:
GDF15 polypeptides, constructs comprising GDF15, and mutants thereof are provided. In various embodiments the GDF15 polypeptides, constructs comprising GDF15, and mutants thereof, can be of use in the treatment or ameliorating a metabolic disorder. In various embodiments the metabolic disease or disorder is type 2 diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, elevated glucose levels, elevated insulin levels and diabetic nephropathy.
