摘要:
An object of the present invention relates to a composition comprising a payload molecule such as a small interfering nucleic acid (siNA) and albumin or fragments thereof, or fusion polypeptides comprising variant albumin or fragments thereof, of a parent albumin. Another object of the present invention relates to a payload molecule such as a siNA conjugated with one or more cholesteryl and/or one or more fatty acid. A further object of the present invention relates to a payload molecule such as a siNA the composition of the present invention for use as a medicament. Yet another object of the present invention relates topayload molecule such as asiNA or the composition of the present invention for use as in regulating a genetic expression of a transcript or protein associated with a disease.
摘要:
The present invention relates to treatment or prevention of radiation induced fibrosis using TNF-alpha antagonism. Preferably, TNF-alpha is antagonized by direct binding or by inhibition of synthesis. In a preferred embodiment, the invention comprises intraperitoneal administration of a chitosan-siRNA nanoparticle, wherein the siRNA is targeted to the mRNA encoding TNF-alpha.
摘要:
The present invention provides nanoparticles for treatment of inflammatory diseases. The nanoparticles preferably comprise chitosan and a siRNA targeting a mRNA encoding a pro-inflammatory cytokine, such as e.g. tnf-alfa. A preferred route of administration of the nanoparticles is by injection intraperitoneally.
摘要:
The present invention relates to dehydrated nanoparticles comprising chitosan and a nucleic acid. Preferably, the nucleic acid is a siRNA. Dehydrated nanoparticles of the invention have improved storage characteristics. The particles may be used in screening methods, e.g. where they have been dried onto a solid support, such as the surface of a culture well. The nanoparticles may also be dried onto implants for tissue engineering scaffolds, where they enable transfection of cells growing on the scaffold. Moreover, the particles have therapeutic relevance.
