摘要:
A combination of an antibody and other therapeutic that work together in vivo against a pathogenic microbe. The combination can include the antibody with an antibiotic, and/or a therapeutic against a disease. The combination can attack the pathogenic microbe with an efficiency more than either of the components alone, with a synergistic effect, or an effect moderated by one or more modes of action not existing with administration of either the antibody or therapeutic alone.

摘要:
This application describes cells, systems, and molecular engineering methods using CRISPR/Cas complexes for targeted activation of endogenous master transcriptional regulatory elements (MTRE) such as PRDM1, XBP1 and IRF4, to generate high productivity antibody production in production cell lines such as CHO and NSO cells. These incorporate the inclusion of the Cas accessory proteins, design of multiple guide RNAs (gRNA), and unique multiplexing of these components using, e.g., lentiviral transfection to induce increased transcription and translation of antibody genes under the control of the MTRE. The methods result in synergies increasing monoclonal antibody production by these modified cell lines. While a significant increase in productivity is demonstrated by this method of activation, further increase in productivity can be accomplished by genetic transfer of additional copies of MTREs.
摘要:
The present invention provides antigenic polypeptides expressed during an infection by a pathogenic organism, such as Acinetobacter and compositions comprising these polypeptides. The invention further provides compositions for use in treating, preventing or detecting a bacterial infection, in particular vaccine compositions using the antigenic polypeptides. The invention further provides antibodies directed to said antigenic polypeptides.
摘要:
A method and composition for treatment of bacterial infections caused by gram negative or gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Rhodococcus equi, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter species, Serratia marcescens as well as those caused by Burkholderia cepacia, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Alcaligenes xylosoxidans, and multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, using a formulation containing gallium (III), in a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or complex thereof.
摘要:
This invention is directed to an antibody construct or fragment thereof derived from an RSV-infected human, such that the antibody construct binds with specificity to RSV fusion protein antigenic region II/A with an affinity of greater than 1×10−9 M. Preferably, the antibody construct is capable of neutralizing RSV strains, including at least one RSV strain that is resistant to palivizumab. The invention further relates to nucleic acids encoding the antibody construct or portions thereof, and cell lines expressing the antibody. This invention further relates to methods for producing said antibody construct, and to the use of said antibody construct for treating or preventing infection of a patient by RSV having a normal or mutated version of F protein.
摘要:
This invention provides methods of spray drying pharmaceutical powders from a vibrating nozzle at low pressures. The method can effectively spray dry thick or viscous solutions or suspensions to provide small uniform particles. The invention includes dry particle compositions prepared by methods of low pressure spraying from vibrating nozzles.
摘要:
This invention provides methods and systems for enhancement of protein production from mammalian cell lines in a drug inducible manner. The methods described herein can be used to generate a protein production cell line wherein the gene coding the protein product of interest is inserted into specific safe harbor loci (SHL) within the cell's genome and the gene copy number is induced to amplify by the use of an antibiotic inducer. The method enables for the conditional activation of the drug inducible transposase. The drug inducible gene amplification method described herein effectively functions as a molecular dial: combining drug-inducible homologous recombination and conditional gene activation to fine-tune gene amplification in mammalian systems.
