  • Patent number: 10526365
    Abstract: A method of making and a modified allergen having reduced allergenicity and preserved immunogenicity compared to corresponding native allergenic material. The preserved immunogenicity is elicited by a IgG-mediated antibody response, all or part of the primary amine groups of the lysine residues of the native allergenic material are functionalized with carbamoyl or thiocarbamoyl moieties, and all or part of the primary amine groups of the arginine residues of the carbamoyl- or thiocarbamoyl functionalized allergenic material are further functionalized with dialdehyde or diketal moieties. The raw allergenic material is selected from the group consisting of DP mites extract, Der p1, ovalbumin and Lipid Transfer Protein (LTP), the average percentage of modified primary amine groups of the lysine ranges between 75% and 100%; and the average percentage of the substituted arginine residues ranges between 25% and 10%.

  • Patent number: 10526367
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to affinity chromatography devices that separate a targeted protein or antibody from an aqueous mixture containing the targeted protein or antibody. The chromatography device may contain a stacked membrane assembly or a wound membrane assembly. The membrane assemblies include (1) at least one polymer membrane that contains therein inorganic particles and (2) at least one impermeable layer (e.g., a thermoplastic polymer in a solid state). The polymer membrane and/or the inorganic particles have an affinity ligand bonded thereto. The affinity ligand may be a protein, an antibody, or a polysaccharide that reversibly binds to the targeted protein or antibody. The chromatography device may be repeatedly used and may be cleaned with a caustic solution between uses. The chromatography devices has a dynamic binding capacity (DBC) of at least 30 mg/ml (or 0.07 micromol/ml) at 10% breakthrough at a residence time of 20 seconds or less.

  • Patent number: 10526369
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cell penetrating peptide dimer by oxidative modification, in which each monomer is connected with each other by the disulfide linkage. The drugability of the peptide dimer has been improved through enhancing stability, reducing proteolysis, retaining permeability and increasing heparan sulfate binding specificity. The modified peptide products can be used to deliver drug molecules as a suitable drug carrier for targeted therapy.

  • Patent number: 10526370
    Abstract: A pentapeptide associated with integrin receptor ?v?3, which has a sequence of arginine-tryptophan-arginine-asparagine-methionine. The pentapeptide targets tumor cells highly expressing ?v?3, but not tumor cells lowly expressing ?v?3 and normal cells. Accordingly, the pentapeptide is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers.
