  • Publication number: 20210054429
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for improving the expression of a properly folded, biologically active protein of interest in a cell free synthesis system. The methods and systems use a bacterial cell free extract having an active oxidative phosphorylation system, and include an exogenous protein chaperone. The exogenous protein chaperone can be expressed by the bacteria used to prepare the cell free extract. The exogenous protein chaperone can be a protein disulfide isomerase and/or a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase. The inventors discovered that the combination of a protein disulfide isomerase and a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase produces a synergistic increase in the amount of properly folded, biologically active protein of interest.

  • Publication number: 20200353076
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antibody conjugates with binding specificity for folate receptor alpha (FOLR1) and its isoforms and homologs, and compositions comprising the antibody conjugates, including pharmaceutical compositions. The variable light chains are those of trastuzumab. Also provided are methods of producing the antibody conjugates and compositions as well as methods of using the antibody conjugates and compositions, such as in therapeutic and diagnostic methods. The antibody conjugates comprise a non-natural amino acid at a site selected from the group consisting of HC-F404, HC-K121, HC-Y180, HC-F241, HC-221, LC-T22, LC-S7, LC-N152, LC-K42, LC-E161, LC-D170, HC-S136, HC-S25, HC-A40, HC-S119, HC-S190, HC-K222, HC-R19, HC-Y52, or HC-S70, according to the Kabat, Chothia, or EU numbering scheme.
