  • Patent number: 10273266
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-functional peptide benefiting expression, purification, stabilization and catalytic efficiency of recombinant proteins, which relates to the field of enzyme engineering and protein purification. The present invention provides a self-assembling amphipathic peptide, which fused with proteins including alkaline polygalacturonate lyase (PGL), lipoxygenase (LOX) and green fluorescent protein (GFP), which leads to successful purification by the nickel affinity chromatography with recovery rates were 47.01%, 39.01% and 56.1%, respectively. Furthermore, the expression quantity and thermostability of the three proteins were enhanced in different degree. Of which the half-life of the PGL-S1v1 and LOX-S1v1 were 2.3 and 3.8-fold as compared with the corresponding wild-type and the specific activity were 1.1 and 1.9-fold increase, respectively. The crude enzyme activity of PGL-S1v1 was 9-fold increase than the PGL.

  • Patent number: 10273267
    Abstract: ?-Hairpin peptidomimetics of the general formula cyclo(-Xaa1-Xaa2-Thr3-Xaa4-Ser5-Xaa6-Xaa7-Xaa8-Xaa9-Xaa10-Xaa11-Xaa12-Xaa13-) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, with Xaa1, Xaa2, Xaa4, Xaa6, Xaa7, Xaa8, Xaa9, Xaa10, Xaa11, Xaa12 and Xaa13 being amino acid residues of certain types which are defined in the description and the claims, have elastase inhibitory properties, especially against human neutrophil elastase, and can be used for preventing infections or diseases related to such infections in healthy individuals or for slowing infections in infected patients. The compounds of the invention can further be used where cancer, or immunological diseases, or pulmonary diseases, or cardiovascular diseases, or neurodegenerative diseases, or inflammation, or diseases related to inflammation, are mediated or resulting from elastase activity. These peptidomimetics can be manufactured by a process which is based on a mixed solid- and solution phase synthetic strategy.

  • Patent number: 10273268
    Abstract: Immunogenic compositions containing a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) gp140 protein, sorbitol, polysorbate 20, and histidine buffer are described. The described immunogenic compositions are advantageous in that they are stable at refrigerated temperature for extended periods of time, and are compatible with an adjuvant. Also described are methods of using the immunogenic compositions to induce an immune response against an HIV in a subject. The immunogenic compositions can be administered alone, or in combination with one or more additional HIV antigens, or one or more adenovirus vectors encoding the one or more additional HIV antigens.

  • Patent number: 10273270
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to create a novel engineered Protein A ligand having better antibody dissociation properties in the acidic condition compared with known engineered Protein A ligands. The present invention provides a protein having an affinity for an immunoglobulin, including an amino acid sequence obtained by introducing, into an amino acid sequence derived from any of E, D, A, B and C domains of Protein A, at least one amino acid substitution at any one or more of amino acid residues corresponding to positions 31 to 37 of the A, B and C domains (positions 29 to 35 of the E domain, positions 34 to 40 of the D domain), which are conserved in all the domains, the protein having a lower affinity for an Fab region of an immunoglobulin than a protein having the amino acid sequence before introduction of the substitution.
