Problems solved by technology

However, as noted above, TeNT causes muscle contraction, which precludes its use, with or without PEGylation, for the treatment of inappropriate muscle contraction disorders
[0005] Wan et al., Process Biochemistry (2017) 52:183-191 disclosed the effect of PEGylation on the anti-PEG immune response generated by administration of PEGylated proteins, but did not use its findings for any treatment

Embodiment 1

[0171] Embodiment 1: the preparation of PEG-TeNT-c ( figure 1 A)

[0172] In this example, TeNT-c was generated by mutating the surface serine residues to surface cysteine ​​residues to facilitate directed PEG conjugation at immunogenic epitopes. figure 1 A molecule. The mutations will be: S963C, S1041C, S1155C and S1187C.

[0173] Genes for TeNTs with surface serine→cysteine ​​substitutions S963C, S1041C, S1155C and S1187C will be synthesized by a commercial provider such as Integrated DNA Technologies. The gene was subcloned into the pRSET-A expression vector by restriction digestion to add a 6x histidine tag from the vector to the N-terminus of the mutein.

[0174] TeNTs comprising S963C, S1041C, S1155C and S1187C were expressed, PEGylated and purified according to Example 5 to generate PEG-TeNT-c.

Embodiment 2

[0175] Embodiment 2: the preparation of PEG-TeNT-HC ( figure 1 B)

[0176]In this example, TeNT-HC was generated by mutating the surface serine residues to surface cysteine ​​residues to facilitate directed PEG conjugation at immunogenic epitopes. figure 1 Molecule of B. The mutations will be: S600C, S963C, S1041C, S1155C and S1187C (Figure 24, SEQ ID NO: 16).

[0177] Genes for TeNTs with surface serine→cysteine ​​substitutions S600C, S963C, S1041C, S1155C and S1187C will be synthesized by a commercial provider such as Integrated DNA Technologies. The gene was subcloned into the pRSET-A expression vector (FIG. 25, SEQ ID NO: 17, Figure 26 ) to add a 6×histidine tag from the vector to the N-terminus of the mutein.

[0178] TeNTs comprising S600C, S963C, S1041C, S1155C and S1187C were expressed, PEGylated and purified according to Example 5 to generate PEG-TeNT-HC.

Embodiment 3

[0179] Embodiment 3: the preparation of PEG-TeNT-LC-c ( figure 1 c)

[0180] In this example, LC and c were generated by mutating the surface serine residues to surface cysteine ​​residues to facilitate directed PEG conjugation at immunogenic epitopes. figure 1 Molecules of C. The mutations are: S81C, S120C, S144C, S248C, S335C, S428C, S963C, S1041C, S1155C and S1187C (Figure 21 , SEQ ID NO: 14).

[0181] Genes for TeNTs with surface serine → cysteine ​​substitutions S81C, S120C, S144C, S248C, S335C, S428C, S963C, S1041C, S1155C and S1187C in LC and c were synthesized by a commercial provider (Integrated DNA Technologies). The gene was subcloned into the pRSET-A expression vector (FIG. 22, SEQ ID NO: 15, Figure 23 ) to add a 6×histidine tag from the vector to the N-terminus of the mutein.

[0182] TeNTs comprising S81C, S120C, S144C, S248C, S335C, S428C, S963C, S1041C, S1155C and S1187C were expressed, PEGylated and purified according to Example 5 to generate PEG-TeNT-LC-...

Abstract

The invention relates to a composition comprising a first PEGylated tetanus neurotoxin (PEG-TeNT) comprising tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) conjugated to polyethylene glycol (PEG) and a second TeNT. The invention also relates to various PEG-TeNTs. The invention also relates to a method of treating hypotonia using the composition or various PEG-TeNTs, and a kit comprising the composition or various PEG-TeNTs. In one embodiment, the hypotonia is obstructive sleep apnoea.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a composition comprising: a first pegylated tetanus neurotoxin (PEG-TeNT) comprising a tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) conjugated to polyethylene glycol (PEG) and the second TeNT. The invention also relates to a method of treating hypotonia using said composition. Background technique [0002] Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) is produced by Clostridium tetani. TeNT acts on the spinal cord and blocks the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine, which are inhibitory neurotransmitters, at spinal inhibitory interneurons. Thus, TeNT can cause spastic paralysis. TeNT does not exist in multiple serotypes. [0003] Therapeutics have been proposed to exploit the biological properties of TeNT or at least TeNT fragments. However, long-term treatment with protein therapeutics often results in a targeted immune response. Since only one serotype of TeNT is known, TeNT-based therapy cannot select for serotype switching to circu...
