Abstract:
The present invention discloses adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), adipose-derived stem cell-enriched fractions (ADSC-EF), their compositions and kits containing the ADSC's and their enriched fractions, and enzyme blends useful for their isolation, as well as methods of their isolation and use.
Abstract:
Mucolytic agents for use in treating pulmonary sarcoidosis are described herein. Patients in need of treatment for pulmonary sarcoidosis are administered a therapeutically effective amount of a mucolytic agent such as DNase I, Mesna or DiMesna. In some embodiments, the DNase I is a recombinant human DNase I such as dornase alfa.
Abstract:
Provided is a deoxyribonuclease comprising: (a) an amino acid sequence having at least 85% sequence identity with the sequence of a eukaryotic DNase I; and (b) an amino acid sequence capable of binding nucleic acid non-specifically comprising at least one helix-hairpin-helix motif.
Abstract:
The invention provides for polypeptides having one or more nuclease domains (e.g., an RNase and/or DNase domain) with altered glycosylation, preferably operably coupled to a pharmacokinetic moiety, which optionally has altered glycosylation. The invention also provides methods of treating or preventing a condition associated with an abnormal immune response.
Abstract:
The invention provides for hybrid nuclease-albumin molecules with increased pharmacokinetic properties. The hybrid nuclease-albumin molecules of the invention have one or more nuclease domains (e.g., an RNase and/or DNase domain) operably coupled to an albumin, or a variant or fragment thereof. The invention also provides methods of treating or preventing a condition associated with an abnormal immune response.
Abstract:
The invention relates to deoxyribonuclease for use in the treatment of a suspected or existing C. difficile infection; a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition or formulation comprising at least deoxyribonucleasefor use in the treatment of a suspected or existing C. difficile infection; a combination therapeutic comprising at least deoxyribonucleasefor use in the treatment of a suspected or existing C. difficile infection; a method of treating a mammal suspected of being infected with, or infected with, C. difficile comprising the use of at least deoxyribonuclease; a method of cleaning or sterilising a material or product comprising the use of at least deoxyribonuclease; and a cleaning or sterilising product impregnated with or containing at least deoxyribonuclease.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an endonuclease I or enzymatically active fragment thereof wherein said endonuclease I has the sequence of SEQ ID No. 4 or a sequence which is at least 70% identical thereto and wherein the amino acid residue which is immediately N-terminal of the FYCGC pentapeptide motif has been substituted with a residue which is negatively charged as well as nucleic acid molecules encoding these enzymes and methods of removing contaminating polynucleotides from a sample using these enzyme.
Abstract translation:本发明提供了内切核酸酶I或其酶促活性片段,其中所述内切核酸酶I具有SEQ ID No.4的序列或与其至少70%相同的序列,其中立即N末端的氨基酸残基 FYCGC五肽基序已被带负电荷的残基以及编码这些酶的核酸分子以及使用这些酶从样品中除去污染多核苷酸的方法。
Abstract:
DNase I formulations for pulmonary administration and, more particularly, but not exclusively, a dry powder formulation comprising, as an active ingredient, human DNase I, methods, dry powder inhalation devices and systems for the therapeutic use thereof are provided.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the technology described herein are based upon the discoveries that neturophil extracellular traps (NETs) provide a stimulus for thrombus formation and that NETs are present in stored blood products. Accordingly, some embodiments relate to methods of treating and preventing toxicity of NETs and thrombosis caused by NETs. Additional embodiments are directed towards methods of treating stored blood products to prevent transfusion-related injuries.
