  • Publication number: 20200407398
    Abstract: We evaluated the antibacterial activity of synthetic short proline-rich lipopeptides (SPRLPs) against clinically-relevant Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. The short peptide sequence of SPRLPs were inspired by the repeating PXP motif apparent in longer PRAMPs. We assessed the potential of these SPRLPs to serve as adjuvants in combination with clinically-used antibiotics against P. aeruginosa. Our results revealed an amphiphilic non-hemolytic non-cytotoxic L-lipopeptide lead sequence that strongly potentiates minocycline and rifampicin against MDR/XDR P. aeruginosa. Furthermore, the adjuvant potency is retained in its enantiomeric D-SPRLP counterpart.

    Abstract: Novel peptide analogs of a ?-defensin have been developed that provide a biphasic effect in treating disseminated fungal disease and/or associated septic shock. These analogs are active at concentrations below those needed to provide a fungicidal effect, and function by initially mobilizing effector cells of the immune system to address the infective organism followed by regulation of the immune system to down regulate the inflammatory response. These novel ?-defensin analogs are protective at concentrations where naturally occurring ?-defensins have no apparent effect, and include a core set of structural and sequence features not found in native ?-defensins.

  • Publication number: 20200407405
    Abstract: As disclosed herein, the assistance of a new generation of immunotoxins (split-immunotoxins) the range of cancers susceptible to elimination by oncolytic viruses and the specific toxicity of the latter can be expanded without compromising the selectivity of targeting. To accomplish this goal, a polypeptide chain of a potent bacterial toxin (including, but not limited to a catalytic subunit of a Diphtheria toxin, DTA) can be split into two benign parts, which can then be delivered to the cytoplasm of cancer cells via two independent cancer-specific pathways: (1) together with an oncolytic virus (encoded in its genome); (2) as a split-immunotoxin delivered via receptor-specific toxin entry pathways. The two parts are fused into a functional toxin only in the cytoplasm of dually targeted cancer cells by means of intein-catalyzed trans-splicing.

  • Publication number: 20200407407
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an orally-administered gene carrier, and more specifically, to an orally-administered gene carrier having cationic protamine connected to an immunoglobulin Fc region by an SMCC linker, the cationic protamine enabling the condensation of an anionic gene. The orally-administered gene carrier enables protamine, which is a protein having cationic properties, to bind to an Fc region and be condensed with a gene having anionic properties, and thus may effectively induce the in vivo expression of the gene, and when orally administered, may enable the gene to be transferred to the small intestine by protecting the gene from a degradation reaction resulting from an immune action of white blood cells and stomach acid, and may enable the half-life of the gene to be relatively long when the gene is expressed in the small intestine, and thus a potential for a long-term treatment effect has been confirmed.

  • Publication number: 20200407417
    Abstract: A method of recovering a population of extracellular vesicles from a biological sample comprising extracellular vesicles and contaminants is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises: a) removing contaminants from the sample, wherein said contaminants are relatively larger or more dense than the extracellular vesicles; b) contacting the sample of step a) with a plurality of binding compositions, each binding composition having first and/or second moieties capable of binding a recognition motif of the target entities under conditions to allow complexing of the extracellular vesicles with the plurality of binding compositions to form a complexed population of extracellular vesicles, the complexed population of extracellular vesicles having an increased volume and/or higher density in comparison to the extracellular vesicles in individual form; and c) recovering the complexed population of extracellular vesicles.

  • Publication number: 20200407425
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of stabilizing a protein. The method includes a step of causing a protein contained in a specimen derived from a living body to coexist with an arylboronic acid. The protein contained in the specimen derived from the living body is at least one type selected from the group consisting of hemoglobin, haptoglobin, and a hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex. According to the present invention, it is possible to stabilize a protein such as a blood protein contained in the specimen derived from a living body. The present invention further provides a stabilizing solution for stabilizing a protein contained in a specimen derived from a living body and a method and a kit for detecting a protein contained in a specimen derived from a living body.

  • Publication number: 20200407426
    Abstract: Neutralizing antibodies through recombinant protein expression were identified by mining antibody repertoires by high-throughput second generation sequencing. Sequencing across the majority of light and heavy chain variable regions of chicken immunoglobulins was performed at two immunological time points: a non-immune (naive) state and a post-hyperimmunization state. The mRNA was extracted from unsorted and unselected PBMC populations and identification of antigen-specific antibody sequences leveraged the significant disparity of abundance of an individual B cell clone in non-immune and immunized states. Through bioinformatic analysis, candidate amino acid sequences for variable heavy chain and light chains were identified. Recombinant polypeptides with the binding domains having the identified amino acid sequences for variable heavy chain and light chains were expressed and screened using immunoassays to confirm antigen-specificity.
