  • NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES ENCODING TRIF AND ADDITIONAL POLYPEPTIDES AND THEIR USE IN TREATING CANCER
    Publication number: 20240174732
    Abstract: In certain aspects, the disclosure relates to a nucleic acid molecule encoding one or more different thanotransmission polypeptides. Vectors (e.g., engineered viruses, plasmids and transposons), cells and pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding one or more thanotransmission polypeptides are also disclosed. Methods of promoting thanotransmission by a target cell, methods of promoting an immune response in a subject, and methods of treating cancer in a subject are further disclosed.

  • High pH protein refolding methods
    Patent number: 11345722
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for refolding denatured protein (e.g., from inclusion bodies) that do not require the use of a denaturing agent. Exemplary methods use a high pH for solubilizing denatured protein, followed by a decrease in pH for refolding the proteins.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2022
    Assignee: BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANY
    Inventors: Cristopher Hollander, Benjamin C. Blum
  • Tangential flow filtration based protein refolding methods
    Patent number: 11053278
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for refolding proteins that are denatured. Exemplary methods comprise solubilizing the denatured protein with a denaturing agent, e.g., a chaotropic agent, and renaturing the protein using a buffer exchanging system, e.g., tangential flow filtration (TFF).
