Abstract: The invention lies in the field of treatment and prophylaxis of muscle wasting disorders, in particular the ones involving a genetic factor that can be targeted by a delivery of a therapeutic nucleic acid into the muscle cells. In line with the latter aspect, disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions and advantageous components thereof that substantially enhance the effective delivery and release of a therapeutic nucleic acid into the correct internal compartment of the muscle cell, such as the cytosol and/or the nucleus, in which compartment it can reach and act upon its genetic target. As disclosed herein, this substantially enhanced delivery and release is achieved by a provision of an endosomal-escape-enhancing saponin that is specifically targeted to muscle cells by covalent conjugation with a ligand of an endocytic receptor present on a muscle cell, into a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutic nucleic acid.

Abstract: The present invention provides influenza neuraminidase (NA)-binding human antibodies, which are capable of neutralizing at least one influenza A virus strain comprising NA of the N1 subtype, and antigen-binding fragments thereof. In certain embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments furthermore are capable of neutralizing at least one influenza A virus strain comprising NA of the N2 subtype. The invention furthermore relates to the use of said antibodies or antigen-binding fragments in the diagnosis, prophylaxis and/or treatment of influenza infection.

Abstract: Influenza neuraminidase (NA)-binding human antibodies, which are capable of neutralizing at least one influenza A virus strain containing NA of the N1 subtype, and antigen-binding fragments thereof are described. Certain antibodies or antigen-binding fragments described herein furthermore are capable of neutralizing at least one influenza A virus strain comprising NA of the N2 subtype. Also described is the use of said antibodies or antigen-binding fragments in the diagnosis, prophylaxis and/or treatment of influenza infection.
