Publication number: 20250092138Abstract: Compositions including solid forms of polypeptides such as crystalline antibodies, and related methods, are generally described. The compositions may include carriers such as hydrogels that at least partially encapsulate the solid form of the polypeptides (e.g., crystals, amorphous solids). Encapsulation with certain of the materials described may result in compositions containing relatively high loadings of polypeptides while in some instances retaining structural and functional properties of the polypeptides useful for certain types of administration to subjects (e.g., for prophylactic or therapeutic applications). In some instances, compositions having relatively low dynamic viscosities while having relatively high polypeptide loadings are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2021Publication date: March 20, 2025Applicants: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Merck Sharp & Dohme CorpInventors: Patrick S.

Patent number: 12059461Abstract: The present invention provides methods for making polysaccharide-protein conjugates in which polysaccharides, typically from bacteria, are conjugated to a carrier protein by reductive amination under conditions which improve conjugation reaction consistency, increase consumption of protein during conjugation reaction, generate conjugates of higher molecular weight, and/or reduce the levels of free cyanide in the conjugate reaction product. The polysaccharide-protein conjugates obtained using these methods are useful for inclusion in multivalent vaccines.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.Inventors: Jitin Bajaj, Michael Albert Winters, Emily Wen, Jian He
