  • Publication number: 20240052051
    Abstract: Provided, in part, are an anti-human transferrin receptor antigen-binding proteins and fusion proteins comprising an anti-human transferrin receptor antigen-binding proteins (e.g., in scFv, Fab or antibody format) which may be fused to a payload for delivery of the payload to a targeted tissue (e.g., past the blood-brain barrier and to the brain). Payloads include, for example, alpha-glucosidase (GAA) polypeptide. Methods for treating various diseases with such molecules, e.g., glycogen storage diseases, such as Pompe Disease, with the fusions are provided.

  • Publication number: 20230345919
    Abstract: Non-human animal cells and non-human animals comprising a humanized Asgr1 locus and methods of using such non-human animal cells and non-human animals are provided. Non-human animal cells or non-human animals comprising a humanized Asgr1 locus express a human ASGR1 protein or an Asgr1 protein, fragments of which are from human ASGR1. Methods are provided for using such non-human animals comprising a humanized Asgr1 locus to assess in vivo efficacy of human-ASGR1-mediated delivery of therapeutic molecules or therapeutic complexes to the liver and to assess the efficacy of therapeutic molecules or therapeutic complexes acting via human-ASGR1-mediated mechanisms.

  • Publication number: 20230338477
    Abstract: Nucleic acid constructs and compositions that allow insertion of a multidomain therapeutic protein (e.g., GAA fusion protein) coding sequence into a target genomic locus such as an endogenous ALB locus and/or expression of the multidomain therapeutic protein (e.g., GAA fusion protein) coding sequence are also provided. The nucleic acid constructs and compositions can be used in methods of integration of a multidomain therapeutic protein (e.g., GAA fusion protein) nucleic acid into a target genomic locus, methods of expression of a multidomain therapeutic protein (e.g., GAA fusion protein) in a cell, methods of reducing glycogen accumulation, methods of treating Pompe disease or GAA deficiency in a subject, and method of preventing or reducing the onset of a sign or symptom of Pompe disease in a subject, including neonatal cells and subjects.

  • Publication number: 20230220100
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for delivering a therapeutic protein to the central nervous system (CNS), in order to treat diseases and disorders that impair the CNS, such as treating lysosomal storage diseases, are disclosed. Therapeutic proteins delivered via a therapeutically effective amount of a nucleotide composition encoding the therapeutic protein conjugated to a cell surface receptor-binding protein, e.g., anti-TfRCscfv:GAA, that crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB) are provided.

  • Publication number: 20230149563
    Abstract: Nucleic acid constructs and compositions that allow insertion of a FIX coding sequence into a target genomic locus such as an endogenous ALB locus and/or expression of the FIX coding sequence are provided. The nucleic acid constructs and compositions can be used in methods of introducing a F9 nucleic acid into a cell, methods of integration of a F9 nucleic acid into a target genomic locus, methods of expression of FIX in a cell, and in methods of treating hemophilia B or FIX deficiency in a subject.

  • Publication number: 20220267477
    Abstract: The present invention provides multispecific antigen-binding molecules and methods of making or selecting same. The multispecific antigen-binding molecules comprise a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds a target molecule, and a second antigen-binding domain that specifically binds an internalizing effector protein. The multispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention can, in some embodiments, be bispecific antibodies that are capable of binding both a target molecule and an internalizing effector protein. In certain embodiments of the invention, the simultaneous binding of the target molecule and the internalizing effector protein by the multispecific antigen-binding molecule of the present invention results in the attenuation of the activity of the target molecule to a greater extent than the binding of the target molecule alone.

  • Publication number: 20220195011
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating enzyme-deficiency diseases are disclosed. Multidomain therapeutic proteins containing an internalization effector binding domain and a lysosomal replacement enzyme activity are disclosed. The multidomain therapeutic proteins are capable of entering cells, segregating to the lysosome, and delivering the replacement enzyme activity to the lysosome.
