Abstract:
Among other things, the present invention provides methods and compositions of treating Sanfilippo syndrome type B (Sanfilippo B) by, e.g., intrathecal (IT) administration of a Naglu protein. A suitable Naglu protein can be a recombinant, gene-activated or natural protein. In some embodiments, a suitable Naglu protein is a recombinant Naglu protein. In some embodiments, a recombinant Naglu protein is a fusion protein containing a Naglu domain and a lysosomal targeting moiety. In some embodiments, the lysosomal targeting domain is an IGF-II moiety.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a method of concentrating a composition comprising a polypeptide of interest and the use of such a concentrated composition for the treatment of diseases in mammals, in particular by subcutaneous injection.

Abstract:
The invention relates to virus like particles (VLP) associated with an enzyme abnormally expressed in particular leukodystrophies or an expression vector encoding the enzyme or an mRNA encoding the enzyme or a combination thereof which are used in a method for the treatment of the particular leukodystrophies in a subject in the need thereof, preferably a human. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition for use in a method for the treatment of the particular leukodystrophies, to an expression vector encoding the abnormally expressed enzyme and to a method of associating a VLP with the enzyme, an expression vector encoding the enzyme or an mRNA encoding the enzyme or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an effective and less invasive approach for direct delivery of therapeutic agents to the central nervous system (CNS). In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods including a step of administering intrathecally to a subject suffering from or susceptible to a lysosomal storage disease associated with reduced level or activity of a lysosomal enzyme, a composition comprising a replacement enzyme for the lysosomal enzyme.
