The present invention comprises non-human vertebrate cells and non-human mammals having a genome comprising an introduced partially human immunoglobulin region, said introduced region comprising human V_H coding sequences and non-coding V_H sequences based on the endogenous genome of the non-human mammal.

A series of protein A mutants having high alkali resistance, and methods of using the protein A mutants are provided. The protein A mutants have a high binding affinity for regions of immunoglobulin proteins other than the complementarity determining regions. The protein A mutants can be coupled to a solid support for immunoglobulin isolation, or conjugated to a label for immunoglobulin detection. This series of protein A mutants has high chemical stability under alkaline conditions of pH 13-14, and can also be used as chromatography ligands for purification procedures that use alkaline solutions under harsh conditions, such as Clean-In-Place (CIP). Also provided are methods of immunoglobulin separation and purification, and alkali regeneration of affinity chromatography medium that uses protein A as a ligand.

The present invention relates to Fc-OB fusion protein compositions, methods of preparation of such compositions and uses thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to a genetic or chemical fusion protein comprising the Fc immunoglobulin region, derivative or analog fused to the N-terminal portion of the OB protein, derivative or analog.

A modified protein of an extracellular domain of protein A, which has the reduced ability to bind to immunoglobulin in an acidic region, compared with the wild-type extracellular domain of protein A, without impairing a selective antibody-binding activity in a neutral region. On the basis of three-dimensional structure coordinate data on a complex of the extracellular domain of protein A bound with the Fc region of immunoglobulin G, the modified protein is obtained by the substitution of amino acid residues that are located within the range of 10 angstroms from the Fc region and have a 20% or more ratio of exposed surface area, by histidine residues. Preferably, the modified protein is obtained by the substitution of amino acid residues at sites identified from the analysis of sequences selected from a library constituted by the protein group, by histidine residues. These substitutions may be combined.

A non-replicating recombinant adeno-associated associated virus (rAAV) having an AAV capsid having packaged therein a vector genome which comprises AAV inverted terminal repeat sequences and at least one nucleic acid sequence encoding four different immunoglobulin regions (a), (b), (c) and (d) is provided. The rAAV-expressed immunoglobulins are useful for providing passive immunization against influenza A and influenza B. Also described herein are compositions containing the rAAV. Methods of vaccinating patients against influenza are provided.

The invention relates to polypeptides consisting of amino acid sequences represented by the following formulas 1 to 4, which have binding activity to an Fc region of immunoglobulin G and can be favorably used in detecting, purifying, immobilizing or removing an antibody, immunoglobulin G or a protein containing an Fc region of immunoglobulin G,

where x represents any amino acid residue; and amino acid residues within the square brackets indicate that any one of the amino acid residues is selected.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an interleukin-7 fusion protein to which an immunoglobulin Fc region has been fused for preventing or treating diseases caused by influenza virus A. The fusion protein comprising the immunoglobulin Fc region and IL-7 according to the present invention protects the body from infection due to influenza virus A and thus can treat diseases which can be caused by the virus.

One aspect of the present invention provides a compound in which a functional group capable of binding to a globulin Fc region or a physiologically active polypeptide is introduced at one end of a non-peptidic polymer and a functional group capable of a click reaction is introduced at the other end; a polypeptide conjugate in which a physiologically active polypeptide binds to one end of the compound; a physiologically active polypeptide conjugate in which a physiologically active polypeptide and an immunoglobulin Fc region bind to both ends thereof by using the compound as a linker; and methods for preparing the same compound, polypeptide conjugate, and physiologically active polypeptide conjugate.

The invention relates to the technical field of fusion protein, in particular to SIRPalpha-Fc fusion protein. The fusion protein comprises a SIRPalphaD1 structural domain variant and an immunoglobulin Fc region. The fusion protein disclosed by the invention has the potential of treating SIRPalpha-CD47 signal channel related diseases.

This disclosure provides a method of preventing, alleviating, or treating a condition (i.e., neutropenia) in a patient in need thereof, the condition characterized by compromised white blood cell production in the patient. The method includes administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a protein complex comprising a modified human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) covalently linked to an immunoglobulin Fc region via a non-peptidyl polymer. The non-peptidyl polymer is site-specifically linked to an N-terminus of the immunoglobulin Fc region, and the modified hG-CSF comprises substitutions in at least one of Cys17 and Pro65.
