Abstract: Minicells are used to deliver biologically active compounds including radioisotopes, polypeptides, nucleic acids, small molecules, drug molecules, and chemotherapeutic agents. In some cases, the minicell displays ligands or binding moieties that target the minicell to a desired host cell.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to immunogenic minicells cells (anucleated) and their use to induce an immune response from a subject.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relates to the incorporation and use of a regulated genetic suicide mechanism for use in the improved purification of biologics, including adjunct use in various eubacterial minicell production and purification methodologies. Described herein are high-yield eubacterial minicell-producing strains with genetic modifications that comprise a regulated genetic suicide mechanism that irreparably destroys the parent cell chromosome such that live parental cells in a culture can be functionally eliminated at any time during the course of a minicell production and purification run. Embodiments of the present invention also describe methods useful in the elimination of live parental cells during the production of other cell-based biologics.

Abstract: The present application relates to the use of bacterial minicells as targeted delivery agents in vivo and in vitro. Described herein are genetically engineered eubacterial minicells designed to preferentially target and deliver therapeutically relevant agents using a minicell surface coupling molecule capable of binding and displaying antibodies or other Fc-containing targeting moiety fusions and conjugates.
