Abstract: The present application provides a single-chain blood coagulation factor VIII including a B region which is partially deleted to contain at least four glycosylation sites, but not a region to be cleaved by furin, or a single-chain blood coagulation factor VIII in which the A or B region has some residues pegylated. A single-chain blood coagulation factor VIII according to the present application not only retains intact therapeutic efficacy and can be easily produced on mass scale because of its single chain form, but also has an increased half-life in vivo through pegylation, thus enhancing convenience for patients as a therapeutic agent for hemophilia A and bringing about a reduction of medical expenses through reduction in production cost.

Abstract: A chimera protein according to the present application has a significantly increased in vivo half-life when administered because of a vWF domain coupled to FVIII, such that when used as a hemophilia A therapeutic agent, convenience for patients can be increased and medical expenses can be reduced.

Abstract: Provided is an expression vector having an improved ability to express a gene. Also provided are cells transformed by the expression vector and a method for mass-producing a target protein by using the cells. The expression vector contains a simian virus 40 promoter, a scaffold attachment region or matrix attachment region element, and a chimeric intron. The vector shows an improved ability to express a gene, and thus, can attain a significantly increased expression of a heterogeneous gene.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an expression vector having an improved ability to express a gene, cells transformed by the expression vector, and a method for mass-producing a target protein by using the cells. The expression vector according to the present invention shows a more excellent ability to express a gene than a typical animal cell expression vector, and thus, protein expression of a heterogeneous gene can be significantly increased.

Abstract: A humanized antibody is produced by process comprising the steps of: (a) selecting a specificity determining residue (SDR) of the complementarity determining region (CDR) of murine monoclonal antibody heavy chain and light chain variable regions; and (b) grafting said SDR to at least one of the corresponding amino acid sequences in human antibody variable regions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing the fucose content of a recombinant protein, which comprises expressing in an animal cell the recombinant protein and FUCA1, an FUCA1 mutant, FUCA2, or a fragment of FUT8 localization domain; or with a fusion protein of a fragment of FUT8 localization domain and a fragment of FUCA1, a FUCA1 mutant or FUCA2. Therefore, the antibody expressed according to the method of the present invention exhibits a reduced fucose content in their Fc regions, which leads to the improvement in the therapeutic effect thereof.
