Abstract: Disclosed is a method for production of recombinant human iduronate 2-sulfatase (rhI2S) (the 26th to 550th amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 10) in a large scale, with a high purity, and mannose 6-phosphate residues. The method comprises the steps of (a) culturing rhI2S (the 26th to 550th amino acids of SEQ ID NO: 10)-producing mammalian cells in a serum-free medium, (b) collecting culture supernatant, (c) subjecting the culture supernatant to cation-exchange column chromatography, (d) to dye affinity column chromatography, (e) to anion-exchange column chromatography, and (f) to a column chromatography employing as solid phase a material having affinity for phosphate group, and (g) to gel filtration column chromatography, in the order.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method for producing a frozen pharmaceutical composition prepared from cultured human mesenchymal stem cells and a pharmaceutical composition containing human mesenchymal stem cells. This method is a method for producing a frozen pharmaceutical composition containing human mesenchymal stem cells, which comprises the following steps in this order: (a) adding trypsin to human mesenchymal stem cells in a culture vessel to detach the cells from the surface of the culture vessel; (b) adding a bicarbonate Ringer's solution containing human serum albumin to the detached cells to terminate the reaction with trypsin, and washing the cells with the bicarbonate Ringer's solution containing human serum albumin; (c) suspending the cells in a bicarbonate Ringer's solution containing human serum albumin and dimethyl sulfoxide; (d) putting the resulting suspension in a container which allows freezing of what is contained therein, and sealing the container; and (e) freezing the suspension put in the container.

Abstract: The invention provides an isolated and purified DNA set forth as SEQ ID NO:15 in the Sequence Listing and an antisense oligonucleotide complementary to the DNA. The DNA represents the splicing enhancer sequence (SES) in exon 45 of human dystrophin gene, and serves as a template in preparation of the antisense oligonucleotide, which is used to induce exon 45 skipping in certain group of patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to restore the reading frame of dystrophin mRNA.
