Cellular Delivery Agent

US Patent:
6995255, Feb 7, 2006
Filed:
Mar 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/382176
Inventors:
Lee W. Riley - Berkeley CA, US
Sangwei Lu - Berkeley CA, US
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C07H 21/04, C07H 21/02, A61K 39/04
US Classification:
536 237, 424 91, 424 92, 4242341, 4242481, 435 41, 4353201, 435440, 435471, 536 231
Abstract:
One aspect of the present invention relates to a nucleic acid construct which includes a first nucleic acid and a second nucleic acid operatively coupled to the first nucleic acid. The first nucleic acid molecule encodes a first peptide that has the sequence of InvX or another sequence incorporating the 58 amino acid cellular import region of Mce1A and confers on an ability to enter mammalian cells. The second nucleic acid molecule encoding a second peptide. Expression of the nucleic acid construct produces a fusion protein comprising the first peptide coupled to the second peptide. The second peptide may be a therapeutic or a diagnostic peptide. An alternative embodiment of the nucleic acid construct includes the first nucleic acid and an insertion site suitable for incorporation of the second nucleic acid molecule into this version of the construct. The present invention further relates to the fusion protein per se, screening methods for identifying fusion proteins having a protective effect against a pathogen, and therapeutic fusion proteins.

Dna Molecule Conferring On Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Resistance Against Antimicrobial Reactive Oxygen And Nitrogen Intermediates

US Patent:
6177086, Jan 23, 2001
Filed:
Apr 28, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/067626
Inventors:
Lee W. Riley - Berkeley CA
Carl F. Nathan - Larchmont NY
Sabine Ehrt - Berkeley CA
Assignee:
Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
A61K 3904, A61K 3902, C12P 2106, C12P 2104, C12N 120
US Classification:
4242481
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a DNA molecule conferring on Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance to antimicrobial reactive oxygen intermediates and reactive nitrogen intermediates. The protein encoded by this DNA molecule is useful in vaccines to prevent invention by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, while the antibodies raised against this protein can be employed in passively immunizing those already infected by the organism. Both these proteins and antibodies may be utilized in diagnostic assays to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis in tissue or bodily fluids. The protein or polypeptide is also useful as a therapeutic in treating conditions mediated by the production of reactive oxygen intermediates and nitrogen intermediates.

Dna Molecule Encoding For Cellular Uptake Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis And Uses Thereof

US Patent:
6072048, Jun 6, 2000
Filed:
Aug 6, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/907229
Inventors:
Lee W. Riley - Berkeley CA
Assignee:
Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
C07H 2104, C07H 1900, A61K 3900, G01N 3353
US Classification:
536 235
Abstract:
The present invention relates to DNA molecules associated with conferring on Mycobacterium tuberculosis an ability to enter mammalian cells. The protein encoded by these DNA molecules are useful in vaccines to prevent infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, while the antibodies raised against this protein can be employed in passively immunizing those already infected by the organism. Both these proteins and antibodies may be utilized in diagnostic assays to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis in tissue or bodily fluids. The protein of the present invention can be associated with various other therapeutic materials, for administration to mammals, particularly humans, to achieve uptake of those materials by such cells.
