  • Publication number: 20230348852
    Abstract: The present invention provides ocular cells, genetically modified by a CRISPR system targeting the expression of B2M for ocular cell therapy. The invention further provides methods of generating an expanded population of genetically modified ocular cells, for example limbal stem cells (LSCs) or corneal endothelial cells (CECs), wherein the cells are expanded involving the use of a LATS inhibitor and the expression of B2M in the cells has been reduced or eliminated. The present invention also provides cell populations, preparations, uses and methods of therapy comprising said cells.

  • Patent number: 10098949
    Abstract: Immunopotentiators can be adsorbed to insoluble metal salts, such as aluminum salts, to modify their pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, intramuscular retention time, and/or immunostimulatory effect. Immunopotentiators are modified to introduce a moiety, such as a phosphonate group, which can mediate adsorption. These modified compounds can retain or improve their in vivo immunological activity even when delivered in an adsorbed form.
