ポリヌクレオチド療法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009540017
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
This invention provides methods of treating an autoimmune disease in a subject associated with one or more self-protein(s), polypeptide(s), or peptide(s) present in the subject non-physiologically comprising administering to the subject: a self-vector comprising an immunosuppressive vector backbone and a polynucleotide encoding the self-protein(s), polypeptide(s) or peptide(s) associated with the autoimmune disease; and a divalent cation at a concentration greater than physiological levels. Administration of the self-vector comprising a polynucleotide encoding the self-protein(s), polypeptide(s) or peptide(s) modulates an immune response to the self-protein(s), polypeptide(s) or peptide(s) expressed from administration of the self-vector This invention further provides a method of treating multiple sclerosis by administering a self-vector comprising a BHT-1 vector backbone, for example, self-vector BHT-3009 encoding human myelin basic protein (MBP). The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising: a BHT-1 vector backbone and a polynucleotide encoding one or more self-protein(s), polypeptide(s), or peptide(s) associated with an autoimmune disease; and a divalent cation at concentrations greater than physiological levels. This invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a self-vector comprising a BHT-1 vector backbone, for example, self-vector BHT-3009 encoding human myelin basic protein (MBP), and methods of administering a BHT-1 self-vector, for example BHT-3009, to a subject.
