    摘要: Cancer is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. One of the principal impediments to the broad success of conventional chemotherapy is poor delivery to and transport within the tumor microenvironment (TME), caused by irregular and leaky vasculature, the lack of functional lymphatics, and underscored by the overproduction of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagen. Described herein are engineered Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) bacteria and uses thereof. In some embodiments, the engineered S. Typhimurium bacteria comprises an exogenous collagenase. Also described in exemplary embodiments herein methods of using the engineered S. Typhimurium bacteria, such as part of a,cancer therapy.

    摘要: Unglycosylated lysostaphin variant protein, nucleic acid molecule, vector and host cell, as well as a method for production of unglycosylated lysostaphin variant protein in a yeast expression system are provided. The proteins are produced in a Pichia pastoris expression system and have been shown to have activity equivalent to wild-type lysostaphin. The lysostaphin variant proteins can be used as therapeutic proteins for treatment of diseases such as Staphylococcus aureus infection.
