  • Publication number: 20230323371
    Abstract: The invention relates to mRNA therapy for the treatment of Fabry disease. mRNAs for use in the invention, when administered in vivo, encode human the ?-galactosidase A (GLA), isoforms thereof, functional fragments thereof, and fusion proteins comprising GLA. mRNAs of the invention are preferably encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to effect efficient delivery to cells and/or tissues in subjects, when administered thereto. mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of GLA expression and/or activity in subjects. mRNA therapies of the invention further decrease levels of toxic metabolites associated with deficient GLA activity in subjects, namely Gb3 and lyso-Gb3.

  • Publication number: 20230027864
    Abstract: The disclosure features immune cell delivery lipid nanoparticle (LNP) compositions that allow for enhanced delivery of agents, e.g., nucleic acids, such as therapeutic and/or prophylactic RNAs, to immune cells, in particular T cells, as well as B cells, dendritic cells and monocytes. The LNPs comprise an effective amount of an immune cell delivery potentiating lipid such that delivery of an agent by an immune cell delivery LNP is enhanced as compared to an LNP lacking the immune cell delivery potentiating agent. Methods of using the immune cell delivery LNPs for delivery of agents, e.g., nucleic acid delivery, for protein expression, for modulating immune cell activity and modulating immune responses are also disclosed.
