  • Patent number: 10967067
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising a lysosomal enzyme conjugated to a negatively charged scavenger receptor ligand. In some embodiments, the lysosomal enzyme is conjugated to the scavenger receptor ligand by way of a linker. The present invention also relates to a composition comprising lysosomal enzyme encapsulated by a liposome, said liposome externally comprising a negatively charged scavenger receptor ligand. The invention further encompasses a method of treating a lysosomal storage disease with the compositions listed above. The ionvention further encompasses a method of treating a lysosomal storage disease with an acylated, acetylated, or aconitylated lysosomal enzyme.

  • Patent number: 10851360
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of purifying recombinant alpha-galactosidase A. The method includes obtaining a lysate from cells recombinantly expressing alpha-galactosidase A grown in a cell culture medium having non-precipitating phosphate; contacting said lysate with a first chromatography media that binds ?-D-mannopyranosyl or ?-D-glucopyranosyl; eluting alpha-galactosidase A from the first chromatography media to generate a first eluate having alpha-galactosidase A, wherein said eluting includes at least one elution pause between 4 and 16 hours; contacting the first eluate with a second chromatography media that binds galactose binding proteins; and eluting alpha-galactosidase A from said second chromatography media to generate a second eluate containing said recombinant alpha-galactosidase A.

  • Patent number: 5179023
    Abstract: Fabry disease results from an X-linked deficiency in the enzyme .alpha.-galactosidase A. The present invention is directed to recombinant human .alpha.-galactosidase A and provides baculovirus expression vectors and recombinant virus that provide stable expression of extracellular and intracellular levels of this enzyme in an insect cell culture. The recombinant-derived enzyme can be used in enzyme replacement therapy to treat Fabry patients. Composition useful in therapeutic administration of .alpha.-galactosidase A are also provided.
