The method for preparing the polymyxin derivative comprises the following steps: (1) an Fmoc-AA-OP side chain free amino group of a protected basic amino acid reacting with a halogenated resin to obtain an Fmoc-AA-OP-resin; (2) the Fmoc-AA-OP-resin being coupled one by one to obtain a linear peptide-resin; (3) the linear peptide-resin selectively removing a protective group, and carrying out solid-phase cyclization to obtain a cyclic peptide-resin; (4) the cyclic peptide-resin undergoing acidic hydrolysis and ether precipitation to obtain a crude product of a cyclic polypeptide; (5) the crude product being purified and/or salt transferred and lyophilized to obtain a pure product of the cyclic polypeptide.

  • Publication number: 20190315808
    Abstract: Producing adenovirus gene therapy vector in producer cells that express or over-express adenoviral polypeptide IX enables one to produce pIX-deleted adenovirus in suspension cell culture. Using producer cells that express or over-express adenoviral polypeptide IX also increases the yield of adenovirus vector, regardless of whether that adenovirus is pIX-deleted. Using producer cells that express or over-express adenoviral polypeptide IX also improves the resulting vector's transduction kinetics, reducing the number of pfu/target cell required to achieve a given level of transduction/infection, shortening the time the vector requires to transduce or infect a target cell, and shortening the time an infected target cell produces progeny virus.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasmid-based CTX phage replication system and Vibrio cholerae strain that can be infected by CTX phage and can be used for cholera toxin production. More particularly, the present invention provides a Vibrio cholera variant strain, which expresses a toxT protein in which tyrosine at position 139 is substituted by phenylalanine through the point mutation of a toxT gene using a plasmid-based CTX phage replication system, and is used as a receptor strain which can improve CTX phage infection efficiency and allows a plurality of CTX prophages to simultaneously infect the strain and to be inserted into the chromosome thereof, which the consequent provision of the effect of increasing the production yield of a cholera toxin.
