  • Patent number: 11655292
    Abstract: The invention provides an antibody and/or an antigen binding fragment that binds to NGF, and the amino acid sequences of the heavy chain and light chain variable regions of the antibody. The NGF antibody and/or its antigen binding fragment provided by the invention has high affinity for NGF and can effectively block the binding between NGF receptor and NGF. This antibody and/or its antigen binding fragment can inhibit the binding activity of NGF and its receptor in vitro, and is suitable for the treatment of pain diseases which are related to the haughty expression or increased expression of NGF.

  • Patent number: 11472863
    Abstract: A hyperglycosylated recombinant human coagulation factor IX (FIX) fusion protein, a preparation method therefor, and use thereof. The fusion protein sequentially comprises, from N- to C-terminus, a human FIX, a flexible peptide linker, at least one human chorionic gonadotropin ? subunit carboxy-terminal peptide rigid unit, and a half-life extending moiety. The fusion protein has a biological activity similar to that of the recombinant FIX, an extended in vivo activity half-life, and reduced immunogenicity, so as to improve pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

  • Publication number: 20220033476
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fusion protein of a mutated recombinant single-chain human coagulation factor VIII (FVIII), a preparation method therefor, and a use thereof. The fusion protein sequentially comprises, from an N-terminus to a C-terminus, a mutated single-chain human FVIII having a partially deleted B-domain, a flexible peptide linker, at least one rigid unit of a carboxyl-terminal peptide of a human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit, and a half-life prolonging moiety (preferably an IgG Fc variant). The fusion protein has a similar biological activity to a recombinant FVIII, a prolonged active half life in vivo, and better stability in vitro and in vivo, and thus improves the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of the fusion protein.

  • Patent number: 8658171
    Abstract: The present invention provides a humanized anti-TNF monoclonal antibody and the use thereof. The humanized anti-TNF monoclonal antibody significantly reduces the immunogenicity of murine-antibody while retaining the ability of antibody to recognize antigen, compared with conservative mouse chimeric antibody. Therefore, safety of the antibody in clinical applications has been improved.

  • Patent number: 8637637
    Abstract: Fc fusion proteins of human growth hormone with good biological activities relative to rhGH on a molar basis are disclosed. The hGH-L-vFc fusion protein comprises hGH, a flexible peptide linker of about 20 or fewer amino acids, and a human IgG Fc variant. The Fc variant is of a non-lytic nature and shows minimal undesirable Fc-mediated side effects. A method is also disclosed to make or produce such fusion proteins at high expression levels. Such hGH-L-vFc fusion proteins exhibit extended or prolonged serum half-life and/or good biological activities relative to that of rhGH on a molar basis, leading to improved pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, thus fewer injections will be needed within a period of time.

  • Patent number: 5834599
    Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies are revealed which bind to the gp 120 protein on the envelope of HIV-1. These antibodies neutralize HIV-1. They inhibit the infection of T cells, and also inhibit syncytium formation. Further, the antibodies are group-specific and neutralize different strains and isolates of HIV-1. These antibodies have a variety of uses, including the treatment and prevention of AIDS and ARC. The antibodies are used in immunotoxins which are specifically toxic to HIV-1 infected T cells.
