  • Patent number: 12297444
    Abstract: Disclosed are AAV viral-based vector compositions useful in delivering a variety of nucleic acid segments, including those encoding therapeutic polypeptides to selected mammalian host cells for use in therapeutic autoimmune modalities, including, for example, the in vivo induction of immunological tolerance via a liver-directed AAV-based gene therapeutic regimen for treating and/or ameliorating autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. Further disclosed are nucleic acid segments encoding therapeutic polypeptides that have been codon-optimized for expression in human cells.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230263909
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of administering AAV viral-based vector compositions useful in delivering a variety of nucleic acid segments and compositions comprising an agent, such as an immunosuppressive agent. Methods and compositions comprising a combination therapy are provided. The disclosed AAV vector compositions include those encoding therapeutic polypeptides to selected mammalian host cells for use in therapeutic autoimmune modalities, including, for example, the in vivo induction of immunological tolerance via a liver-directed AAV -based gene therapeutic regimen for treating and/or ameliorating autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. The compositions comprising an agent may comprise a sphingosine analog, a glucococorticoid, an mTOR inhibitor, and/or a targeted biologic.
