  • Patent number: 11673942
    Abstract: The combination of a first binding site specifically binding to a target associated with an eye disease and a second binding site specifically binding to a target influencing the retention in the eye a multispecific binder provides for improved intravitreal retention compared to a monospecific binder. The second binding site specifically binds to a compound/molecules found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) in vitreous humor/retina. This compound of the extracellular matrix has to be present in amounts allowing a sufficient loading/dose of the drug to be bound. It has been found that collagen, especially collagen II, is a suitable compound in the ECM in the vitreous humor for this purpose. Thus, herein is reported a multispecific binder comprising a first binding site specifically binding to a therapeutic ocular target, and a second binding site specifically binding to collagen II.

  • Patent number: 11639377
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a preparation of type I collagen-like fibers and a method for regulating and controlling the periodic length of fiber stripes thereof, belonging to the technical field of genetic engineering. The disclosure produces a three-segment chimeric collagen P-CL-P pattern by inserting a continuous Gly-Xaa-Yaa triplet collagen sequence in the middle based on the N- and C-terminal (GPP)n sequences. The self-assembly is driven by the interaction between the N- and C-terminal (GPP)n triple helixes to form banded fibers with periodic bright and dark stripes. According to the method of the disclosure, a fiber from a clean source, which can self-assemble to form periodic bright and dark stripes can be prepared, the structure of which is similar to type I collagen, the preparation process is simple, the collagen fiber with low cost can be produced on a large scale, and the method has broad application prospects in the field of biological materials.

  • Patent number: 11634490
    Abstract: Provided are anti-CD47 antibodies or fragments thereof that can bind to the extra cellular domain of the CD47 protein. The antibodies or fragments thereof can effectively block the interaction between human CD47 and its ligand SIRP alpha and enhance the phagocytosis activity of macrophages to engulf cancer cells. Some of these antibodies or fragments do not induce in vitro hemagglutination and therefore can be suitably used as therapeutic agents with reduced off-target effects.
