  • Publication number: 20230405096
    Abstract: An ADAMTS13 mutant protein having an improved escaping rate against an autoantibody and a composition that is suitable for preventing or treating thrombotic diseases are disclosed. By efficiently avoiding autoantibodies known to have high binding affinity to the main domain of ADAMTS13, the ADAMTS13 variant protein of the present invention can be used as an effective therapeutic composition for various thrombotic diseases, such as TTP (thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura), in which the presence of such autoantibodies is the main etiology, and can stably maintain the biological activity thereof when administered into a body. In addition, a newly identified site within ADAMTS13, which is recognized by an autoantibody can be used in screening novel ADAMTS13 variants having an improved autoantibody escaping rate by applying a combination of various mutations within the corresponding site.

  • Publication number: 20210161111
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a factor VIII or factor IX gene knockout rabbit, a method for preparing the same and a use thereof and, more particularly, to a transgenic rabbit whose factor VIII or factor IX gene has been knocked out through the CRISPR/Cas9 system, a method for preparing the same and a use thereof. According to the present invention, in the transgenic rabbit, whose factor VIII and/or factor IX gene has been knocked out, the functions of factor VIII and/or factor IX, which are proteins that perform critical functions for the development of hemophilia, are inhibited, such that the transgenic rabbit is useful for the development of hemophilia treatments.
