  • Patent number: 10035994
    Abstract: A new, reliable, easily scalable and reproducible method for the production of recombinant butyrylcholinesterase (rBuChE) is provided. Through the utilization of a plant transfection procedure, various plant strains have been shown to generate effective and scalable amounts of rBuChE under acceptable manufacturing processes to permit reliable levels of such enzymes for desired nerve agent protection requirements (including tetrameric products). As well, such methods in engineered plant lines have shown suitable production of these enzymes in tetramer form with glycan formation and sialylation (for terminal groups) to allow for optimal potency against organophosphorus agent exposure as well as proper immunogenic response within the plant sources. The overall production method, including the transfection and production within mammalian cells, as well as the process steps involved for such a reliable sourcing platform from plants is thus encompassed within the invention.

  • Publication number: 20140248684
    Abstract: In some aspects, the present invention relates to compositions and methods for the production of human cholinesterases. More particularly, it relates to methods for the production of human cholinesterases using transient expression and vectors for producing the same. In one aspect, the present invention relates to a plant viral vector encoding a plant codon-optimized DNA sequence that results in accumulation of the cholinesterase in a plant leaf at levels greater than 20 mg, and in some embodiments greater than 200 mg, of the enzyme per kilogram of the plant leaf.

  • Publication number: 20060013831
    Abstract: A composition and method for enhancing immune response in a living organism is disclosed. In particular, the present disclosure provides an adjuvant peptide for use in raising an immune response to an antigen. The adjuvant peptide is selected from a group of peptides with an HIV-related sequence. Additionally, the adjuvant peptide can comprise a fusion-protein that acts as a mucosal adjuvant. The adjuvant peptide can be transformed into one or more living cells, such that the mucosal adjuvant can be produced in living cells and then administered by systemic, mucosal or epidermal delivery.
