20140308699 | YEAST ARTIFICIAL CHROMOSOME CARRYING THE MAMMALIAN GLYCOSYLATION PATHWAY - A Yeast Artificial Chromosome (YAC) directing the expression of one or more activities of the humanized glycosylation pathway is provided. The said YAC comprises one or more expression cassettes for fusion proteins of heterologous glycosylation pathway and an ER/Golgi retention sequence. The invention also relates to new yeast cells which contain the said YAC. Finally, the invention also provides a method for producing recombinant target glycoproteins. | 10-16-2014 |
20100167315 | METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING THE RESPONSE TO A TREATMENT WITH A MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY - The invention relates to steps for the development or the quality control of recombinant monoclonal antibodies (MoAbr) used as medicaments, and also to the selection of the patients liable to effectively respond to a treatment with a given monoclonal antibody. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for evaluating, in vitro, the effector functions of NK cells in response to a test monoclonal antibody, comprising at least the following steps: (i) the NK cells are brought into contact with said monoclonal antibody, which is fixed on a support, in the presence of an agent for inhibiting the secretion of cytokines by said cells; (ii) by way of positive control for the activation of the NK cells, the same experiment is carried out using, in place of the test monoclonal antibody, a monoclonal antibody directed against the Fc RIIIa receptor; (iii) after an incubation period of at least 1 hour, the response of the NK cells is observed by measuring the presence of the CD107 marker at the cell surface, and also the presence of intracellular IFN and/or of intracellular TNF. | 07-01-2010 |
20100137565 | GENETICALLY MODIFIED YEASTS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HOMOGENOUS GLYCOPROTEINS - The present application relates to genetically modified yeasts for the production of glycoproteins having optimized and homogeneous glycan structures. These yeasts comprise an inactivation of the Och 1 gene, the integration by homologous recombination, into an auxotrophic marker, of an expression cassette comprising a first promoter, and an open reading frame comprising the coding sequence for an α-1,2-mannosidase I, and the integration of a cassette comprising a second promoter different from said first promoter and the coding sequence for an exogenous glycoprotein. These yeasts make it possible to produce EPO with an optimized and 98% homogeneous glycosylation. | 06-03-2010 |
