  • Publication number: 20240108743
    Abstract: A linker peptide for constructing a fusion protein. The linker peptide comprises a flexible peptide and a rigid peptide. The flexible peptide consists of one or more flexible units. The rigid peptide consists of one or more rigid units. The flexible unit comprises two or more amino acid residues selected from Gly, Ser, Ala, and Thr. The rigid unit comprises a human chorionic gonadotropin ?-subunit carboxy-terminal peptide (CTP) bearing a plurality of glycosylation sites. The linker peptide can more effectively eliminate mutual steric hindrance of two fusion molecules, decreasing a reduction/loss of polymerization or activity resulting from improper folding of an active protein or a conformational change. On the other hand, the negatively charged, highly sialylated CTP can resist renal clearance, further prolonging a half-life of a fused molecule and enhancing bioavailability of a fused protein.

  • Patent number: 11655295
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of treatment of diseases and immunology. Specifically, the present invention relates to an anti-LAG-3 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, nucleic acid molecules for encoding said antibody and fragment, and method for preparing said antibody and fragment. The anti-LAG-3 antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof according to the present invention has high specificity and high affinity to LAG-3, can effectively block the binding of LAG-3 to MHC II and/or FGL1, and can inhibit and/or block intracellular signaling mediated by LAG-3 binding to MHC II and/or FGL1. Therefore, the present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof, and use of the pharmaceutical composition in the preparation of drugs.

  • Patent number: 11655292
    Abstract: The invention provides an antibody and/or an antigen binding fragment that binds to NGF, and the amino acid sequences of the heavy chain and light chain variable regions of the antibody. The NGF antibody and/or its antigen binding fragment provided by the invention has high affinity for NGF and can effectively block the binding between NGF receptor and NGF. This antibody and/or its antigen binding fragment can inhibit the binding activity of NGF and its receptor in vitro, and is suitable for the treatment of pain diseases which are related to the haughty expression or increased expression of NGF.

  • Publication number: 20220033476
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fusion protein of a mutated recombinant single-chain human coagulation factor VIII (FVIII), a preparation method therefor, and a use thereof. The fusion protein sequentially comprises, from an N-terminus to a C-terminus, a mutated single-chain human FVIII having a partially deleted B-domain, a flexible peptide linker, at least one rigid unit of a carboxyl-terminal peptide of a human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit, and a half-life prolonging moiety (preferably an IgG Fc variant). The fusion protein has a similar biological activity to a recombinant FVIII, a prolonged active half life in vivo, and better stability in vitro and in vivo, and thus improves the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of the fusion protein.
