This application is related and claims priority to US. Provisional Application
Serial No. 61/546,248, filed r 12, 2011, the entire contents of which are expressly
incorporated herein by this reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Sanfilippo Syndrome B is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease
(LSD) caused by a deficiency in a lysosomal enzyme known as N-acetyl-alpha-D-
glucosaminidase (NaGlu). NaGlu is required for the degradation of heparan sulfate as
part of the se breakdown of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in the lysosome. The
deficiency or absence of NaGlu leads to accumulation and urinary excretion of heparan
sulfate. With over 70 different mutations identified to date, Sanfilippo Syndrome B
ts extensive molecular and genetic heterogeneity.
imately 1 out of 200,000 births is ed by Sanfilippo Syndrome B and
the deficiency mainly manifests in young children. After initial symptom-free interval,
patients suffering from Sanfilippo Syndrome B usually present with a slowing of mental
development and behavioral problems, followed by progressive intellectual e
resulting in severe mental retardation, dementia and motor disease. Acquisition of
speech is slow and incomplete. Profoundly affected patients may present d
psychomotor and speech development as early as 2 years of age. The disease usually
progresses to increasing behavioral disturbance and sleep disturbance. Although the
clinical features are mainly neurological, ts often develop diarrhea, carious teeth,
an enlarged liver and spleen, stiffjoints, hirsteness and/or coarse hair and may exhibit
blood-clotting ms. In the final stage of the illness, ts become immobile and
unresponsive and p swallowing difficulties and seizure. The life-span of an
affected child typically does not extend beyond late teens to early twenties.
Different approaches have been attempted to e the missing enzyme in
patients. To produce NaGlu for enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), human NaGlu has
been expressed in various mammalian cell culture systems. However, in contrast to the
naturally occurring NaGlu which trafficks to the lysosome intracellularly, inant
NaGlu proteins produced and secreted from mammalian cells were found to contain no
or only a trace amount of mannose 6—phosphate (M6P). The absence or scarcity of M6P
moieties in the secreted NaGlu has been known to prevent its ent internalization
into target cells (e. g., human skin lasts), which have M6P receptors on the surface
on its plasma membrane (see, Zhao et al., Protein Expression and Purification, 19:202-
211 (2000); and Weber et al., Protein Expression and Purification, 21:251-259 (2001)).
The low degree of orylation was seen in secreted mouse NaGlu expressed in
CHO cells, secreted human NaGlu expressed in HeLa cells, secreted human NaGlu
expressed in human fibroblasts, and secreted human NaGlu expressed in human
embryonic kidney (HEK) cell line 293 (see, Zhao et al., Protein Expression and
Purification, 19:202-211 (2000); Yogalingam et al., Biochim Biophys. Acta 1502: 415-
425; and Weber et al., Protein Expression and Purification, 21:251-259 (2001)). No or
weak phosphorylation of N-glycans in the NaGlu proteins secreted from the mammalian
cells has posed a major obstacle for the development of a recombinant human NaGlu
protein suitable for enzyme replacement therapy as all the aforementioned attempts has
failed to produce an enzyme which is efficiently taken up by target cells as the
tration of the internalized proteins, if able at all, was nearly a thousand
times less than wild-type levels (see, Zhao et al., Protein Expression and Purification,
19:202-211 (2000)). To date, no approved product is available for the treatment of
Sanfilippo Syndrome B.
Direct stration of mammalian cell—produced recombinant human NaGlu
protein lu) having the native amino acid sequence into the central nervous
system (CNS) (e. g., intrathecal administration into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)) of
NaGlu deficient mice has been attempted, but failed to trate successful
biodistribution of the enzyme to the brain due to excessive accumulation of the protein
on the ependymal ling of the ventricles as well as lack of requisite M6P residues for
efficient ar uptake. Similarly, systemic administration (i.e., intravenous (IV)
injection) of mammalian cell-produced rhNaGlu having the native amino acid sequence
also failed to demonstrate sful localization of the protein to the brain. In addition
to known risks associated with highly invasive intrathecal administration, these obstacles
in targeting rhNaGlu to the brain have been too great a challenge to achieve effective
therapy for the treatment of Sanfilippo Syndrome B.
Therefore, there is a need to provide a stable NaGlu protein which is
enzymatically active and has physical properties that allow for the protein to cross the
blood brain barrier (BBB) and for ive internalization of the protein into the
lysosomes of target cells. There is also a need for a high expressing and robust protein
production platform which can provide a recombinant human NaGlu that effectively
crosses the blood brain barrier and is efficiently internalized into human target cells.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is drawn to itions sing recombinant human
NaGlu protein (rhNaGlu) useful for therapy, for example, in the treatment of Sanfilippo
Syndrome B. The present invention is based on the surprising and unexpected ery
that the rhNaGlu described herein has one or more glycosylation patterns that allow the
rhNaGlu to efficiently cross the blood brain barrier (BBB), and be taken up into cells
within the central s system (CNS) of animals deficient in the enzyme, resulting in
a ic increase in (x-N-acetylglucosaminidase ty in the brain, as well as a
reduction of substrate levels. Moreover, the rhNaGlu described herein is efficiently
taken up into a mammalian cell (6g, human cell), resulting in an increased tic
activity as compared to NaGlu proteins produced and secreted from unmodified
mammalian cells that are not designed to produce specific glycosylation. The increased
cellular uptake of the NaGlu protein also es benefits for the use in enzyme
replacement therapy for a human patient ing from Sanfilippo Syndrome B by
minimizing the need for an increased amount and frequency of dose, and thereby greatly
reducing the potential risk of immunogenicity.
The rhNaGlu protein described herein contains sufficient amount of
oligosaccharides (e. g., mannose and phosphorylated mannose (i. e., M6P)) to allow
efficient cellular uptake via mannose and/or M6P receptor-mediated endocytosis and be
correctly targeted into human cells. In one embodiment, the rhNaGlu contains at least
one mole of n, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 moles of M6P per mole of protein. In
one embodiment, rhNaGlu can be internalized into a NaGlu deficient human cell such
that the internalized protein fully (100% or more) restores normal levels (i.e., wild-type
levels) of NaGlu activity in the NaGlu deficient cell.
Also disclosed herein are methods for producing a transgenic avian that
expresses rhNaGlu which benefits from orylation of mannose. In particular, a
transgenic avian that expresses u protein in t cells, secretes into the lumen
of the oviduct and ts the protein into egg white. Avian eggs that contain such
rhNaGlu are also included in the present invention.
The present invention also contemplates s and host cells that contain a
transgene ng u as well as ceutical compositions comprising
rhNaGlu to be used in the application of such rhNaGlu for the treatment of Sanfilippo
Syndrome B.
In one aspect, the invention es a composition comprising an isolated
mixture of recombinant human N-acetyl-alpha—D-glucosaminidase (rhNaGlu)
comprising the amino acid sequence 24-743 of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein at least 10 % of
the rhNaGlu in the mixture comprises at least one glycan structure having mannose
phosphate (M6P). In one embodiment, the rhNaGlu having M6P is capable of being
taken up into a mammalian cell deficient in NaGlu such that internalized rhNaGlu
restores at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 100% of normal NaGlu activity observed
in a wild-type mammalian cell of the same type. In another embodiment, the glycan

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present ion provides compositions sing recombinant human
NaGlu protein lu) useful for therapy, for example, in the treatment of NaGlu
associated es, e. g., Sanfilippo Syndrome B. The present invention is based on a
discovery that the rhNaGlu protein described herein contains sufficient amount of
oligosaccharides (e.g., mannose and phosphorylated mannose (i.e., M6P)) to allow
efficient cellular uptake via mannose and/or M6P receptor-mediated endocytosis and be
correctly targeted into human cells. Since the rhNaGlu of the invention is more
efficiently taken up into a human cell, the rhNaGlu of the invention exhibits increased
enzymatic activity as compared to NaGlu proteins produced and secreted from
fied mammalian cells that are not designed to produce specific glycosylation.
Additionally, the rhNaGlu described herein has one or more glycosylation patterns that
allow the rhNaGlu to efficiently cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) when administered
intravenously. The increased cellular uptake of the rhNaGlu protein of the invention
minimizes the need for large and frequent dosing, thereby greatly ng the potential
risk of immunogenicity.
Some of the definitions and abbreviations used herein include the following: aa,
amino acid(s); bp, base pair(s); CDS, coding sequence cDNA, DNA complementary to
an RNA; GalNac, N-acetylgalactosamine; Gal, galactose; , N-acetylglucosamine;
nt, nucleotide(s); kb, 1,000 base pairs; pg, microgram; mL, iter; ng, am; and
nt, nucleotide
Certain definitions are set forth herein to rate and define the meaning and
scope of the various terms used to describe the invention herein.
The term “avian” as used herein refers to any species, subspecies or strain of
organism of the taxonomic class ava, such as, but not limited to, chicken, turkey, duck,
goose, quail, pheasants, parrots, finches, hawks, crows and ratites including h, emu
and cassowary. The term includes the s known strains of Gallus gallus, or
ns, (for example, White Leghorn, Brown Leghorn, Barred-Rock, Sussex, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Ausstralorp, Minorca, Amrox, California Gray, Italian
Partridge-colored), as well as strains of turkeys, pheasants, quails, duck, ostriches and
other poultry commonly bred in commercial quantities.
The phrases “based on” and “derived from” typically mean obtained from, in
whole or in part. For example, a retroviral vector being based on or derived from a
particular irus or based on a nucleotide sequence of a particular retrovirus mean
that the genome of the retroviral vector contains a substantial portion of the nucleotide
sequence of the genome of the particular retrovirus. The substantial portion can be a
particular gene or nucleotide sequence such as the nucleotide sequence encoding the
gag, pol and/or env proteins or other structural or functional nucleotide sequence of the
virus genome such as sequences encoding the long terminal s (LTRs) or can be
substantially the complete retrovirus genome, for example, most (e.g., more than 60% or
more than 70% or more than 80% or more than 90%) or all of the retrovirus genome, as
will be apparent from the context in the specification as the dge of one skilled in
the art. Examples of retroviral vectors that are based on or derived from a irus are
the NL retroviral vectors (e. g., NLB) which are derived from the avian leukosis

genome or are introduced at a non—native site in the organism’s genome are referred to
as “foreign” nucleotide sequences, “heterologous” nucleotide sequences, “recombinant”
nucleotide sequences or “exogenous” nucleotide sequences. In addition, a nucleotide
sequence that has been isolated and then reintroduced into the same type (e.g., same
species) of organism is not considered to be a naturally occurring part of a ular
organism’s genome and is therefore considered exogenous or heterologous.
“Heterologous proteins” or “exogenous proteins” can be proteins encoded by n,

nucleic acid that does not occur naturally as part of a chromosome, a genome or cell in
which it is present or which is found in a location(s) and/or in amounts that differ from
the location(s) and/or amounts in which it occurs in nature. It can be nucleic acid that is
not endogenous to the genome, chromosome or cell and has been exogenously
introduced into the genome, chromosome or cell. Examples of heterologous DNA
e, but are not limited to, DNA that s a gene product or gene product(s) of
interest, for example, for production of an encoded protein. es of heterologous
DNA include, but are not limited to, DNA that encodes traceable marker proteins, DNA
that encodes therapeutic ns. The terms “heterologous” and “exogenous” can refer
to a biomolecule such as a nucleic acid or a n which is not normally found in a
n cell, tissue or substance produced by an sm or is not normally found in a
certain cell, tissue or substance produced by an organism in an amount or location the
same as that found to occur naturally. For example, a protein that is heterologous or
exogenous to an egg is a protein that is not normally found in the egg.
The term “construct” as used herein refers to a linear or circular nucleotide
sequence such as DNA that has been assembled from more than one segments of
nucleotide ce which have been ed from a natural source or have been
chemically synthesized, or combinations thereof.

that can form specific interactions with one another. In the specific interactions, an
adenine base within one strand of a nucleic acid can form two hydrogen bonds with
thymine within a second nucleic acid strand when the two nucleic acid strands are in
opposing polarities. Also in the specific interactions, a guanine base within one strand
of a nucleic acid can form three hydrogen bonds with cytosine within a second nucleic

cells. The “gene expression controlling regions” may precede, but is not limited to
preceding, the region of a nucleic acid sequence that is in the region 5’ of the end of a
coding sequence that may be transcribed into mRNA.
As used herein, “host cells” refers to cells that harbor vectors constructed using
recombinant DNA techniques and encoding at least one heterologous gene.
The term “isolated nucleic acid” as used herein , for example, (a) a DNA

(PCR), ligase chain reaction (LCR) or chemical synthesis, or a restriction fragment; (d) a
recombinant nucleotide sequence that is part of a hybrid gene, i.e., a gene ng a
fusion protein, and (e) a recombinant nucleotide sequence that is part of a hybrid
sequence that is not naturally ing. Isolated nucleic acid molecules of the t

les modified by nucleotide deletions, insertions, ions, or substitutions.
The term “nucleic acid” as used herein refers to any linear or sequential array of
nucleotides and nucleosides, for example cDNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, tRNA,
oligonucleotides, oligonucleosides and derivatives thereof. For ease of discussion, non-
naturally occurring nucleic acids may be referred to herein as constructs. Nucleic acids

transformation vectors such as, animal viral vectors such as, but not d to, modified
adenovirus, influenza virus, polio virus, pox Virus, retroviruses such as avian leukosis
virus (ALV) retroviral vector, a murine leukemia virus (MLV) retroviral vector, and a
lentivirus vector, and the like and fragments thereof. In addition, the nucleic acid can be

(MLV) retroviral vector, or a lentivirus vector and fragments thereof. Nucleic acids can
also include NL vectors such as NLB, NLD and NLA and fragments thereof and
synthetic oligonucleotides such as chemically synthesized DNA or RNA. Nucleic acids
can include ed or derivatized nucleotides and nucleosides such as, but not limited
to, halogenated tides such as, but not only, 5—bromouracil, and derivatized
nucleotides such as biotin-labeled nucleotides.
As used herein, the terms “glycan,’9 66glycan structure, 99 CCglycan moiety,”
“oligosaccharide,9’ 66oligosaccharide structure,99 66glycosylation pattern, 99 ‘6glycosylation
e,” and “glycosylation structure” have essentially the same meaning and each
refers to one or more structures which are formed from sugar residues and are attached
to glycosylated n such as human NaGlu. For example, “N-glycan” or “N-linked
glycan” refers to a glycan structure attached to a nitrogen of gine or arginine side-
chain of the glycosylated n. “O—glycan” or “O—linked glycan” refers to a glycan
structure attached to the yl oxygen of serine, threonine, tyrosine, hydroxylysine,

The term “vector” and “nucleic acid vector” as used herein refers to a natural or
synthetic single or double stranded plasmid or viral nucleic acid molecule that can be
transfected or transformed into cells and replicate independently of, or within, the host
cell genome. A circular double stranded vector can be linearized by treatment with an
appropriate restriction enzyme based on the nucleotide sequence of the vector. A c
acid can be inserted into a vector by cutting the vector with restriction enzymes and
ligating the desired pieces together, as is understood in the art. A typical vector can be
comprised of the following elements operatively linked at appropriate distances for
allowing functional gene expression: replication origin, promoter, enhancer, 5’ mRNA
leader sequence, ribosomal binding site, nucleic acid cassette, ation and
polyadenylation sites, and selectable marker sequences. One or more of these elements
can be omitted in specific applications. The nucleic acid cassette can include a
restriction site for insertion of the nucleic acid sequence to be expressed. In a onal
vector the nucleic acid cassette ns the nucleic acid sequence to be sed
including translation initiation and ation sites. An intron optionally can be
included in the construct, for example, 5’ to the coding sequence. A vector is
constructed so that the particular coding sequence is d in the vector with the
appropriate regulatory sequences, the positioning and orientation of the coding sequence
with respect to the control ces being such that the coding sequence is transcribed
under the “control” of the l or tory ces. Modification of the
ces encoding the particular protein of interest can be desirable to achieve this end.
For example, in some cases it can be necessary to modify the ce so that it can be
attached to the control sequences with the appropriate orientation, or to maintain the
reading frame. The control ces and other regulatory sequences can be ligated to
the coding sequence prior to insertion into a vector. Alternatively, the coding sequence
can be cloned directly into an expression vector which already ns the control
sequences and an appropriate restriction site which is in reading frame with and under
regulatory control of the control sequences.
The term “operably linked” refers to an arrangement of elements wherein the
components so described are configured so as to perform their usual function. Gene
expression controlling regions or promoter(s) (e. g., promoter components) operably
linked to a coding sequence are capable of effecting the expression of the coding
sequence. The controlling sequence(s) or promoter need not be contiguous with the
coding sequence, so long as they function to direct the expression thereof. Thus, for
example, ening slated yet ribed sequences can be present between a
promoter sequence and the coding sequence and the promoter sequence can still be
considered “operably linked” to the coding sequence.

transgenic organisms that exceeds levels of production in normal or ansformed
organisms.
The term ct” or “oviduct tissue” refers to a tissue of an avian oviduct, such

of proteins produced in other tissue of the avian such as liver or kidney tissue.
The term “oviduct-specific promoter” as used herein refers to promoters and
promoter components which are functional, i.e., provide for transcription of a coding
sequence, to a large extent, for example, primarily (i.e., more than 50% of the

produced in t cells) or exclusively in oviduct cells of a bird. Examples of oviduct
specific promoters include, but are not limited to, ovalbumin promoter, ovomucoid
promoter, ovoinhibitor promoter, lysozyme promoter and ovotransferrin er and
functional ns of these promoters, e.g., promoter components. By limiting the
expression of NaGlu protein to the magnum using oviduct ic promoters,
deleterious physiological effects to the bird as result of expression of these enzymes in
other tissues of the bird can be minimized.

NBLAST program, score = 100, wordlength = 12, to obtain nucleotide sequences
homologous to a nucleic acid molecule of the invention. BLAST n searches are
performed with the XBLAST program, score = 50, ngth = 3, to obtain amino acid

target protein or polypeptide. The terms “chimeric ” or “mosaic animal” are used
herein to refer to animals in which a transgene is found, or in which the recombinant
nucleotide sequence is expressed, in some but not all cells of the animal. A germ-line
chimeric animal contains a transgene in its germ cells and can give rise to an ing
transgenic animal in which most or all cells of the offspring will contain the transgene.
As used herein, the term “transgene” means a nucleic acid sequence ing,
for example, a human NaGlu protein) that is partly or entirely heterologous, i.e., n,
to the animal or cell into which it is introduced, or, is partly or entirely homologous to an
endogenous gene of the transgenic animal or cell into which it is introduced, but which
is designed to be ed, or is inserted, into the animal or cell genome in such a way as
to alter the genome of the organism into which it is inserted (e.g., it is inserted at a
location which differs from that of the natural gene or its insertion results in a knockout).
As used herein, the term e replacement therapy (ERT)” refers to a
eutic strategy for correcting an enzyme deficiency in a subject by administering
the missing enzyme to a subject. For mal enzyme replacement therapy to be

in tissues where the storage defect is manifested. In one embodiment, the enzyme may
be administered to the subject intravenously, intrathecally, intracerebrally,
intraventricularly, or intraparenchymaly. In one embodiment, the enzyme is able to
cross the blood brain barrier (BBB). Without intending to be limited by mechanism, it is
believed that as the blood es patient tissues, enzyme is taken up by cells and
transported to the lysosome, where the enzyme acts to eliminate al that has
accumulated in the lysosomes due to the enzyme deficiency.

M6P. In yet another embodiment, at least 98% of the ed rhNaGlu in the mixture
ns M6P. In yet another embodiment, at least 99% of the isolated rhNaGlu in the
mixture contains M6P.
Optionally, the rhNaGlu protein produced from an avian or mammalian
expression system (e.g., CHO, HEK293, or human skin fibroblast cell-line) can be
further modified to achieve a favorable glycosylation pattern (126., an increased amount
of M6P) for cellular uptake while retaining the biological activity. Additional terminal
M6P can be introduced to the rhNaGlu by the general methods applied to other
hydrolases as described in US. Pat. No. 6,679,165, US. Pat. No. 7,138,262, or US.

rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has been ted. Those of ordinary skill in the art
are aware that polypeptides produced in the ER by vertebrate cells generally have a
signal peptide fused to the N-terminus of the polypeptide, which is cleaved from the
complete or “full length” polypeptide to produce a secreted or “mature” form of the
polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the native signal e, e.g., the
MEAVAVAAAVGVLLLAGAGGAAG (1—23 of SEQ ID NO:1) signal peptide of
human NaGlu is used, or a functional derivative of that ce that retains the ability
to direct the secretion of the polypeptide that is operably associated with it.
Alternatively, a heterologous signal peptide (e.g., a heterologous mammalian or avian
signal peptide), or a functional derivative thereof, may be used. For example, the wild-
type leader sequence may be substituted with the leader sequence of, for example,
human tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or mouse B-glucuronidase.
The control elements or regulatory sequences can includes those non-translated
regions of the vector-enhancers, promoters, 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions that interact
with host cellular proteins to carry out transcription and translation. Such ts can
vary in their strength and specificity. Depending on the vector system and host cell
utilized, any number of le transcription and ation elements can be used. For
example, when cloning in bacterial systems, inducible promoters such as the hybrid lac-
Z promoter of the BluescriptTM phagemid (Stratagene, LaJolla, California) or pSportlTM
plasmid (Gibco BRL) and the like can be used. In mammalian cell systems, promoters
from mammalian genes or from mammalian viruses are preferred. If it is necessary to
generate a cell line that contains multiple copies of the sequence encoding NaGlu,
vectors based on SV40 or EBV can be also used with an riate selectable marker
such as puromycin and ampicillin (see, e.g., Figs. 11 and 12).
When the u is produced in a transgenic avian, the present invention
contemplates that the rhNaGlu sequence be placed downstream of a promoter such that
the sequence ng the rhNaGlu can be expressed in a tissue—specific manner in a
transgenic avian. For example, the promoter can be an oviduct-specific promoter that is
largely, but not entirely, specific to the , such as the oviduct-specific promoter,
including but not limited to, ovalbumin, lysozyme, conalbumin, ovomucoid, ovomucoid,
ovomucin and ovotransferrin promoters. In one embodiment, the promoter is an
ovalbumin promoter, a lysozyme promoter, a conalbumin promoter, an ovomucoid
promoter, an ovomucin promoter and/or an ovotransferrin promoter or any functional
portion thereof.
Alternatively, a tutive promoter can be used to express the coding sequence
of human NaGlu in an avian. In this case, expression is not limited to the magnum;
expression also occurs in other tissues within the avian (e.g., blood). The use of such a
ene, which includes a constitutive promoter and the coding sequence of NaGlu, is
also suitable for effecting or driving the expression of a protein in the oviduct and the
uent secretion of the protein into the egg. In one embodiment, the constitutive
promoter can be, for example, a cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, a rous-sarcoma virus
(RSV) er, a murine ia virus (MLV) er, and B-actin promoter. In
one embodiment, the promoter is a CMV promoter, a MDOT promoter, a RSV
promoter, a MLV promoter, or a mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter of
any functional n thereof.
The invention also plates any useful fragment or component of the
promoters described herein. The promoter can be at least one segment, fragment or
ent of a promoter region, such as a segment of the ovalbumin, lysozyme,
conalbumin, ovomucoid, ovomucin, ovotransferrin, CMV, RSV or MLV promoter
region. In a preferred embodiment, the promoter is a segment of the oviduct-specific
promoter region which contains essential elements to direct expression of the coding
sequence in the tubular gland cells. For example, included in the scope of the present
invention is a segment, n or fragment of an oviduct-specific promoter and/or
condensing the critical regulatory elements of the oviduct-specific er so that it
retains sequences required for expression in the tubular gland cells of the magnum of the
oviduct. In one embodiment, a segment of the ovalbumin promoter region is used. This
segment comprises the 5 ing region of the ovalbumin gene.
A vector that contains a coding sequence for human NaGlu can be used for
transfecting blastodermal cells of an avian or mammalian cell to generate stable
integrations into the avian or mammalian genome and to create a germline transgenic
avian or mammalian cell line. A non—limiting example of such vector is shown in Figs.
4A-D and 5. In the avian expression system, the human NaGlu coding sequence is
operably linked to a promoter in a positional relationship to express the coding sequence
in a transgenic avian, ularly in the tubular gland cell of the magnum of the avian
oviduct, such that the recombinant human NaGlu n is expressed and deposited in
egg white of a hard shell egg laid by the enic avian. onal suitable vectors
and methods to making vectors for expressing rhNaGlu in an avian system are also
disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,730,822; U.S. Pat. No. 6,825,396; U.S. Pat. No. 6,875,588;
U.S. Pat. No. 7,294,507; U.S. Pat. No. 7,521,591; U.S. Pat. No. 7,534,929; U.S.
ation No. 2008/0064862A1; and U.S. Patent Publication No. 2006/0185024, the
entire teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference. Non-limiting examples
of other promoters which can be also useful in the present invention include Pol III
promoters (for example, type 1, type 2 and type 3 Pol III promoters) such as H1
promoters, U6 promoters, tRNA promoters, RNase MPR promoters and functional
portions of each of these promoters. Typically, functional terminator sequences are
selected for use in the t invention in accordance with the er that is
employed.
In one embodiment, the vector is a retroviral vector, in which the coding
ce and the promoter are both positioned between the 5’ and 3’ LTRs of the
retroviral vector. In one useful embodiment, the LTRs or retroviral vector is derived
from an avian is virus (ALV), a murine leukemia virus (MLV) or a lentivirus.
One useful retrovirus for randomly introducing a transgene into the avian genome is the
replication-deficient ALV, the replication-deficient MLV, or the replication-deficient
irus.
The present invention also contemplates the use of self-inactivating (SIN)
vectors. SIN vectors can be useful for increasing the quantity of human NaGlu produced
in the oviduct of a transgenic avian. This effect can be further enhanced when the SIN
vector does not contain any selectable marker cassette with a functional promoter
(SIN/SC negative vector). In one ment, a SIN vector is a retroviral vector having
altered genome so that the 5’ LTR of the integrated retroviral vector does not function as
a promoter. In one particular embodiment, a portion or all of the nucleotide sequence of
the retroviral vector that results in the U3 region of the 5’ LTR of the retroviral vector
once integrated can be deleted or altered in order to reduce or eliminate promoter
activity of the 5’ LTR. A non—limiting example of SIN vector which contains an
ovalbumin er region fused to the coding sequence of human u is shown in
Figs. 4A-D and 5. Functional components of the vector are also tabulated in Table 1.

Any of the vectors described herein can include a sequence encoding a signal
peptide that directs ion of the protein expressed by the ’s coding sequence
from, for example, the tubular gland cells of the oviduct of an avian. Where a
recombinant human NaGlu protein would not otherwise be secreted, the vector
containing the coding sequence is ed to comprise a DNA ce comprising
about 60 bp encoding a signal peptide from, for e, the lysozyme gene. The DNA
sequence encoding the signal peptide is inserted in the vector such that it is located at the
N-terminus of the rhNaGlu protein encoded by the DNA.
Further, the coding sequences of vectors used in any of the methods of the
present invention can be ed with a 3’ untranslated region (3’ UTR) to confer
stability to the RNA produced. When a 3’ UTR is added to a retroviral vector, the
orientation of the promoter, the coding sequence and the 3’ UTR is preferably reversed
with respect to the direction of the 3’ UTR, so that the addition of the 3’ UTR does not
interfere with transcription of the full-length genomic RNA. In one embodiment, the 3’
UTR may be that of the ovalbumin gene, me gene or any 3’ UTR that is
functional in a magnum cell, i.e., the SV40 late region.
111. Transgenic Avians
enes described herein can be introduced into avian embryonic
blastodermal cells to produce a transgenic chicken, transgenic turkey, transgenic quail
and other avian s that carry the ene encoding recombinant human NaGlu in
the genome of its germ-line tissue. In one aspect of the invention, a transgenic avian
that produces rhNaGlu is created by transduction of embryonic blastodermal cells with
replication-defective or replication—competent iral les carrying the transgene
between the 5’ and 3’ LTRs of the retroviral vector. For instance, an avian leukosis
virus (ALV) retroviral vector or a murine leukemia virus (MLV) retroviral vector can be
used. An RNA copy of the modified retroviral vector packaged into viral particles can
be used to infect embryonic blastoderms which develop into transgenic avians.
By the methods of the present invention, transgenes can be introduced into
embryonic blastodermal cells of various avian species. For example, the methods can be
applied to produce a transgenic chicken, transgenic turkey, transgenic quail, transgenic
duct, and other avian species, that carry the transgene in the genome of its germ-line
tissue in order to produce proteins of the invention. The dermal cells are typically
stage VII-XII cells as defined by Eyal-Giladi and Kochav (1976), or the equivalent
f. In a red embodiment, the blastoderm cells are at or near stage X.
In one method of transfecting blastodermal cells, a packaged iral-based
vector can be used to deliver the vector into embryonic blastodermal cells so that the
vector is ated into the avian genome. Such viral particles (i.e., transduction
particles) are ed for the vector and d to determine the appropriate
concentration that can be used to inject embryos. In one embodiment, avian eggs are
windowed according to the procedure described in US. Pat. No. 5,897,998, the
disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and the eggs are
injected with transducing particles at or near stage X.
The transgenic avians of the invention which produce rhNaGlu are developed
from the dermal cells into which the vector has been introduced. The resulting
embryo is d to develop and the chick d to mature. At this stage, the
transgenic avian produced from blastodermal cells is known as a founder and is chimeric
with respect to the cells carrying the transgene and is referred to G0. G0 founder avians
are typically chimeric for each inserted transgene. That is, only some of the cells of the
G0 transgenic bird contain the transgene. Some founders carry the transgene in tubular
gland cells in the magnum of their oviducts. These avians express the rhNaGlu protein
encoded by the transgene in their oviducts. The NaGlu protein may also be expressed in
other s (e.g., blood) in addition to the oviduct. Some founders are ine
founders that carry the transgene in the genome of the germ-line tissues, and may also
carry the transgene in oviduct magnum tubular gland cells that express the exogenous
protein.
The transgenic avian can carry the transgene in its germ-line providing
transmission of the exogenous transgene to the avian’s offspring stably in a Mendelian
n. The G0 generation is typically hemizygous for the transgene encoding
rhNaGlu. The G0 generation can be bred to non—transgenic animals to give rise to G1
enic offspring which are also hemizygous for the transgene and contain the
transgene in ially all of the bird’s cells. The G1 hemizygous offspring can be bred
to non-transgenic animals giving rise to G2 hemizygous offspring or may be bred
together to give rise to G2 offspring homozygous for the transgene. Substantially all of
the cells of avians which are positive for the transgene that are derived from G1
offspring contain the ene. In one embodiment, hemizygotic G2 offspring from the
same line can be bred to produce G3 offspring homozygous for the transgene. In
another embodiment, hemizygous G0 or G1 s, for example, are bred together to
give rise to homozygous G1 offspring containing two copies of the transgene(s) in each
cell of the animal. These are merely examples of certain useful breeding methods and
the present invention contemplates the employment of any useful breeding method such
as those known to duals of ordinary skill in the art.
IV. Production of rhNaGlu
The rhNaGlu can be produced using a transgenic avian that contains in the
genome a ene encoding rhNaGlu. In one embodiment, the transgenic avian is a
germline transgenic chicken, quail, duck or . In one particularly useful
embodiment, the invention is drawn to the production of NaGlu which can be produced
in the oviduct of a chicken.
Production of rhNaGlu with or without modification in the avian system (e.g., in
the avian oviduct) is within the scope of the invention. In one embodiment, the
unmodified rhNaGlu comprises the wild-type amino acid sequence 3 of SEQ ID
NO:1) with a glycosylation structure (i. e., M6P) that enables efficient uptake by human
cells. In another ment, the modified protein can be an rhNaGlu fusion protein
having a glycosylation pattern (i. e., M6P) that s efficient uptake by human cells.
A suitable avian vector that contains a nucleic acid sequence encoding a NaGlu
protein, operably linked to a tissue—specific or constitutive promoter that drives
expression of the ng sequence in the chicken oviduct are introduced into chicken
embryonic cells at or near stage X as bed herein. The transformed embryonic cells
are incubated under conditions conducive to hatching live chicks. Live chicks are
nurtured into a mature chimeric chicken which are mated with a non-transgenic chicken
naturally or via artificial nation. A transgenic chicken is identified by screening
progeny for germline incorporation of the protein encoding sequence. The enic
progeny can be mated with another transgenic or a non-transgenic n to produce a
fully germline transgenic hen that lays eggs.
The rhNaGlu can be produced in a tissue-specific manner. For example,
u can be expressed in the oviduct, blood andfor other cells or tissues of the
enic avian. In one embodiment, the NaGlu is expressed in the tubular gland cells
of the magnum of the oviduct of the transgenic avian, secreted into the lumen of the
oviduct, and deposited into egg white. In one embodiment, egg white containing
rhNaGlu is harvested and stored in bulk at a temperature ranging from 4°C to -20°C.
The NaGlu is then isolated and purified from the contents of the eggs using various
s known in the art.
One aspect of the present invention relates to avian hard shell eggs (e.g., chicken
hard shell eggs) which contain the rhNaGlu protein. The rhNaGlu produced and
secreted by the transgenic avian is glycosylated in a manner favorable to cellular uptake
by a human cell. The n may be present in any useful amount. In one embodiment,
the protein is present in an amount in a range between about 0.01 pg per hard-shell egg
and about 1 gram per hard-shell egg. In another embodiment, the protein is present in an
amount in a range of n about 1 pg per hell egg and about 1 gram per hard-
shell egg. For example, the protein may be present in an amount in a range of between
about 10 pg per hard-shell egg and about 1 gram per hard-shell egg (e.g., a range of
between about 10 ug per hard-shell egg and about 400 milligrams per hard-shell egg).
In one embodiment, the rhNaGlu is present in the egg white of the egg. In one
embodiment, the u is present in an amount in a range of between about 1 ng per
milliliter of egg white and about 0.2 gram per milliliter of egg white. For example, the
rhNaGlu may be present in an amount in a range of between about 0.1 ug per milliliter
of egg white and about 0.2 gram per milliliter of egg white (e.g., the rhNaGlu may be
present in an amount in a range of between about 1 ug per milliliter of egg white and
about 100 milligrams per milliliter of egg white. In one embodiment, the u is
present in an amount in a range of between about 1 ug per milliliter of egg white and
about 50 milligrams per iter of egg white. For example, the rhNaGlu may be
present in an amount in a range of about 1 pg per milliliter of egg white and about 10
milligrams per iter of egg white (e.g., the rhNaGlu may be t in an amount in
a range of between about 1 pg per milliliter of egg white and about 1 milligrams per
milliliter of egg white). In one embodiment, the rhNaGlu is present in an amount of
more than 0.1 ug per milliliter of egg white. In one embodiment, the rhNaGlu is present
in an amount of more than 0.5 ug per milliliter of egg white. In one embodiment, the
rhNaGlu is present in an amount of more than 1 pg per milliliter of egg white. In one
embodiment, the protein is present in an amount of more than 1.5 pg per milliliter of egg
white. In one embodiment, the rhNaGlu is present in an amount of more than 0.5 pg per
milliliter of egg white. In one embodiment, the protein is present in an amount of more
than 0.1 pg per milliliter of egg white.
In one embodiment, the rhNaGlu is present in an amount of 20 mg/L, 30mg/L,
40mg/L, 50 mg/L, 60 mg/L, 7‘0 mg/L, 80 mg/L, 90 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 120 mg/L, 130
mg/L, 140 mg/L, 150 mg/L, 160 mg/L, 170 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 300mg/L, 400 mg/L, 500
mg/L, 600 mg/L, 700 mg/L, 800 mg/L, 900 mg/L, or 1,000 mg/L egg white. In one
embodiment, the rhNaGlu is present in an amount of about 100 mg/L of egg white. In
one embodiment, the rhNaGlu is present in an amount of about 200 mg/L of egg white.
V. Host Cells
The present invention also contemplates rhNaGlu produced in any useful protein
expression system including, t limitation, cell culture (e.g., avian cells, CHO
cells, HEK293 cells and COS cells), yeast, bacteria, and plants.
A host cell strain can be chosen for its ability to modulate the expression of the
ed sequences or to process the expressed NaGlu in the desired fashion. Such
modifications of the polypeptide of NaGlu include, without limitation, glycosylation,
phosphorylation, or lipidation. Different host cells such as CHO, COS, HeLa, MDCK,
HEK293 and W138, which have specific cellular ery and teristic
isms for such post-translational activities, can be chosen to ensure the correct
modification and processing of the fusion protein of the present ion. An avian
tumor cell line is also contemplated as a host cell for expressing the polypeptide of the
present invention. Examples of a useful avian cell line (e.g., an avian t tumor cell
line) are described in US. Pat. Publication No. 2009/0253176, the entire teachings of
which are incorporated herein by reference.
VI. Pharmaceutical Compositions
The present invention also features pharmaceutical compositions comprising
ed and substantially ed u or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The recombinant human NaGlu proteins may be administered using one or more
carriers, e.g., as part of a pharmaceutical formulation, or without a carrier. The carrier(s)
must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the
formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. itions comprising such
carriers, including composite molecules, are ated by well—known conventional
methods (see, for example, ton’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 14th Ed., Mack
Publishing Co., Easton, Pa.), the entire ngs of which are orated herein by
reference. The carrier may comprise a diluent. In one embodiment, the ceutical
carrier can be a liquid and the protein may be in the form of a solution. The
pharmaceutical carrier can be wax, fat, or alcohol. In another embodiment, the
pharmaceutically acceptable r may be a solid in the form of a powder, a
lyophilized powder, or a tablet. In one embodiment, the carrier may comprise a
liposome or a microcapsule.
In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising recombinant
human NaGlu protein r comprises a buffer. Exemplary buffers include acetate,
ate, citrate and glutamate buffers. Exemplary buffers also include lithium citrate,
sodium citrate, potassium citrate, calcium citrate, lithium lactate, sodium lactate,
potassium lactate, calcium lactate, lithium phosphate, sodium phosphate, potassium
phosphate, calcium phosphate, lithium maleate, sodium maleate, potassium maleate,
calcium maleate, lithium tartarate, sodium tartarate, potassium tartarate, calcium
tartarate, lithium succinate, sodium succinate, ium succinate, m ate,
lithium acetate, sodium acetate, potassium acetate, calcium acetate, and mixtures
thereof. In some embodiments, the buffer is trisodium citrate dihydrate. In some
embodiments, the buffer is citric acid monohydrate. In some embodiments, a
pharmaceutical composition ses trisodium citrate dehydrate and citric acid
monohydrate.
In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising recombinant
human NaGlu protein further comprises a stabilizer. Exemplary stabilizers include
albumin, ose, , amino acids, polyols, cyclodextrins, salts such as sodium
chloride, magnesium de, and calcium chloride, lyoprotectants, and mixtures
thereof. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprises human serum
In some embodiments, it is desirable to add a surfactant to the pharmaceutical
ition. Exemplary surfactants include nonionic surfactants such as Polysorbates
(e.g., Polysorbates 20 or 80); poloxamers (e.g., poloxamer 188); Triton; sodium dodecyl
sulfate (SDS); sodium laurel sulfate; sodium octyl glycoside; —, myristyl-, linoleyl-,
or stearyl-sulfobetaine; lauryl-, myristyl-, linoleyl- or stearyl-sarcosine; linoleyl-,
myristyl-, or cetyl-betaine; lauroamidopropyl-, cocamidopropyl-, linoleamidopropyl-,
myristamidopropyl-, palmidopropyl-, or isostearamidopropyl-betaine (e.g.,
lauroamidopropyl); myristamidopropyl-, palmidopropyl-, or isostearamidopropyl-
dimethylamine; sodium methyl cocoy1—, or disodium methyl ofeyl-taurate; and the
MONAQUATTM series (Mona Industries, Inc., Paterson, N.J.), polyethyl glycol,
polypropyl glycol, and copolymers of ethylene and propylene glycol (e.g., ics,
PF68, etc). Typically, the amount of surfactant added is such that it reduces aggregation
of the protein and minimizes the formation of particulates or effervescences. For
example, a surfactant may be present in a formulation at a concentration from about
0.001 - 0.5% (e.g., about 0.005 - 0.05%, or 0.005 - . In particular, a surfactant
may be present in a ation at a concentration of approximately 0.005%, 0.01%,
0.02%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, or 0.5%, etc. Ranges and values ediate to the
above recited ranges and values are also plated to be part of the invention.
In some embodiments, suitable pharmaceutical compositions of the invention
may further include one or more bulking agents, in particular, for lyophilized
ations. A "bulking agent" is a nd which adds mass to the lyophilized
mixture and butes to the physical structure of the lyophilized cake. For example, a
bulking agent may improve the appearance of lyophilized cake (6. g., essentially uniform
lized cake). Suitable bulking agents include, but are not limited to, sodium
chloride, lactose, mannitol, glycine, sucrose, trehalose, hydroxyethyl starch. Exemplary
trations of bulking agents are from about 1% to about 10% (e. g., 1.0%, 1.5%,
2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, 3.5%, 4.0%, 4.5%, 5.0%, 5.5%, 6.0%, 6.5%, 7.0%, 7.5%, 8.0%,
8.5%, 9.0%, 9.5%, and 10.0%). Ranges and values intermediate to the above recited
ranges and values are also contemplated to be part of the invention. The pharmaceutical
compositions can be in the form of a sterile lyophilized powder for injection upon
reconstitution with a diluent. The diluent can be water for injection, bacteriostatic water
for ion, or sterile saline. The lyophilized powder may be produced by freeze drying
a solution of the fusion protein to produce the protein in dry form. As is known in the
art, the lyophilized protein generally has increased stability and a longer shelf-life than a
liquid solution of the protein.
Pharmaceutical formulations include those suitable for oral, rectal, nasal, topical
(including buccal and sub-lingual), ] or parenteral administration. Preferably, the
pharmaceutical formulations of the invention include those suitable for administration
by injection including intrathecal, intraparenchymal, intracerebral, intraventricular,
intramuscular, sub-cutaneous and intravenous administration. In one embodiment, the
formulations of the invention are suitable for intravenous administration. In another
embodiment, the formulations of the ion are suitable for intrathecal
stration. The pharmaceutical formulations of the ion also e those
suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation. The formulations can, where
appropriate, be conveniently presented in discrete dosage units and can be prepared by
any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. The s of producing the
pharmaceutical formulations typically include the step of bringing the therapeutic
proteins into association with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both and
then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation.
Recombinant human NaGlu proteins of the invention can also be formulated for
parenteral administration (6. g., by injection, for example bolus injection or continuous
infusion) and can be ted in unit dose form in ampoules, pre-filled syringes, small
volume infusion or in multi-dose containers with an added preservative. The eutic
ns can be injected by, for example, subcutaneous injections, intramuscular
ions, intrathecal injections, intracerebral injections, intraparenchymal injections,
intraventricular injections, and intravenous (IV) infusions or injections.
In one embodiment, the recombinant human NaGlu n is stered
intravenously by IV infusion by any useful method. In one e, the recombinant
human NaGlu protein can be administered by intravenous infusion through a peripheral
line. In another example, the recombinant human NaGlu protein can be administered by
intravenous infusion through a peripherally inserted central catheter. In another
example, the recombinant human NaGlu protein can be administered by intravenous
infusion facilitated by an ambulatory infusion machine attached to a venous vascular
access port. In one ment of intravenous infusion, the medication is stered
over a period of 1 to 8 hours depending on the amount of medication to be d and
the patient‘s previous infusion—related reaction history, as determined by a physician
skilled in the art. In another embodiment, the recombinant human NaGlu protein is
administered intravenously by IV injection. In another embodiment, the recombinant
human NaGlu protein can be administered via intraperitoneal or intrathecal injection.
In some embodiments, the therapeutic proteins are administered by on, and
the infusion can occur over an extended time period, for example, 30 minutes to 10
hours. Thus, the on can occur, for example, over a period of about 1 hour, about 2
hours, about 3 hours, about 4 hours, or about 5 hours. The infusion can also occur at
various rates. Thus, for example, the infusion rate can be about 1 mL per hour to about
20 mL per hour. In some embodiments, the infusion rate is 5 mL to 10 mL per hour. In
one embodiment, the infusion rate is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,
18, 19 or 20 mL per hour. In one embodiment, the infusion rate is 0.1 to 5 hr. In
one embodiment, the infusion rate is about 0.1, about 0.2, about 0.3, about 0.5, about
1.0, about 1.5, about 2.0, or about 3 mg/kg/hr. Ranges and values intermediate to the
above recited ranges and values are also contemplated to be part of the invention.
The therapeutic proteins can take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or
emulsions in oily or aqueous es, and can contain formulatory agents such as
suspending, stabilizing and/or sing agents. The recombinant human NaGlu
proteins can be in powder form, obtained by aseptic isolation of sterile solid or by
lyophilization from on, for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e. g., sterile,
pyrogen-free water, before use.
Formulations in accordance with the present invention can be assessed based on
product quality analysis, reconstitution time (if lyophilized), quality of reconstitution (if
lyophilized), high lar weight, moisture, and glass transition temperature.
Typically, protein quality and product analysis include t degradation rate is
using s including, but not limited to, size exclusion HPLC (SE-HPLC), cation
exchange-HPLC (CEX-HPLC), X—ray diffraction (XRD), modulated differential
scanning calorimetry (mDSC), reversed phase HPLC (RP-HPLC), multi-angle light
scattering (MALS), fluorescence, ultraviolet absorption, nephelometry, capillary
electrophoresis (CE), SDS-PAGE, and ations thereof. In some embodiments,
evaluation of product in accordance with the present invention may e a step of
evaluating appearance (either liquid or cake appearance).
Generally, formulations (lyophilized or aqueous) can be stored for extended
periods of time at room temperature. Storage temperature may typically range from 0°C
to 45°C (e. g., 4°C, 20°C, 25°C or 45°C). Formulations may be stored for a period of
months to a period of years. Storage time generally will be 24 months, 12 months, 6
, 4.5 months, 3 months, 2 months or 1 month. Formulations can be stored
directly in the container used for administration, eliminating transfer steps. Ranges and
values intermediate to the above recited ranges and values are also contemplated to be
part of the invention.
Formulations can be stored directly in the lyophilization container (if
lyophilized), which may also function as the reconstitution vessel, eliminating transfer
steps. Alternatively, lized product formulations may be ed into smaller
increments for e. Storage should generally avoid circumstances that lead to
ation of the proteins, including but not limited to exposure to sunlight, UV
radiation, other forms of electromagnetic radiation, excessive heat or cold, rapid thermal
shock, and mechanical shock. The ceutical compositions according to the
invention can also contain other active ingredients such as immunosuppressive agents,
antimicrobial agents, or preservatives, discussed in more detail below.
VII. Methods of Treatment
The present invention also provides methods of treating associated
diseases, e. g., Sanfilippo Syndrome B. Recombinant NaGlu employed in accordance
with the invention includes recombinant NaGlu which can be produced in any useful
protein expression system including, without tion, cell culture (e.g., CHO cells,
COS cells), bacteria such as E. coii, transgenic animals such as mammals and avians
(e. g., ns, duck, and turkey) and in plant systems (e.g., duck weed and tobacco
plants). In one embodiment, the recombinant NaGlu is produced in a transgenic animal,
such as an avian.
In one embodiment, the method comprises stering to the subject a
recombinant human NaGlu protein (rhNaGlu), for ce a recombinant human NaGlu
protein ning a sufficient amount of oligosaccharides (e. g., mannose and
phosphorylated mannose (i.e., M6P)), in an amount sufficient to treat (e.g., ,
ameliorate) or prevent one or more symptoms of a NaGlu deficiency or NaGlu
associated disease. The recombinant human NaGlu protein can be administered
therapeutically or prophylactically, or both. The recombinant human NaGlu protein
(rhNaGlu) can be administered to the subject, alone or in combination with other
therapeutic modalities as described herein.
The terms “treat,’7 66treating,” and “treatment” refer to methods of alleviating,
abating, or ameliorating a e or symptom, preventing an additional symptom,
ameliorating or preventing an underlying cause of a symptom, inhibiting a disease or
condition, arresting the development of a disease or ion, relieving a disease or
condition, causing regression of a disease or condition, relieving a condition caused by
the disease or condition, or stopping a m of the disease or condition either
prophylactically and/or after the symptom has occurred.
“Therapeutically effective dose” as used herein refers to the dose (e.g., amount
and/or interval) of drug required to e an intended therapeutic response (e.g.,
reduction of heparan e levels and/or increase in NaGlu activity in a target tissue).
A therapeutically effective dose refers to a dose that, as compared to a corresponding
t who has not received such a dose, results in improved treatment, healing,
prevention, or amelioration of a e, disorder, or side effect, or a decrease in the rate
of the occurrence or advancement of a disease or disorder. The term also includes
within its scope, doses effective to enhance physiological functions.
As used herein, the term “subject” or “patient” is intended to include human and
non-human animals. Non-human animals include all vertebrates, e.g., mammals and
non-mammals, such as non-human primates, sheep, dogs, cats, cows, horses, ns,
amphibians, and es. Preferred subjects include human ts having a NaGlu
deficiency or NaGlu associated disease.
As used herein a “NaGlu associated e” is a disease or condition which is
mediated by NaGlu activity or is associated with aberrant NaGlu expression or activity.
An example of an NaGlu associated disease includes, but is not d to, NaGlu
deficiency such as Sanflippo me B (also known as lysaccharidosis type
IIIB).
The therapeutic methods of the present invention encompass any route of
administration which facilitates the uptake or transport of the recombinant human NaGlu
protein into the pertinent organs and tissues. In one embodiment, the methods of the
invention e delivering the recombinant human NaGlu proteins of the invention to
the CNS al nervous system), the kidney, or the liver of a subject for the treatment
of a NaGlu associated disease (e. g., NaGlu deficiency). For example, the recombinant
human NaGlu protein may be administered to the patient intravenously (e.g., via
intravenous injection or intravenous infusion) and surprisingly crosses the blood brain
barrier (BBB) of the subject having NaGlu ency. In another embodiment of the
ion, the inant human NaGlu protein is administered to the t
intrathecally.
A. Device for Intrathecal Delivery
Various devices may be used for intrathecal delivery according to the present
invention. In some embodiments, a device for intrathecal administration contains a fluid
access port (6. g., injectable port); a hollow body (e.g., catheter) having a first flow
orifice in fluid communication with the fluid access port and a second flow orifice
configured for insertion into spinal cord; and a securing mechanism for securing the
insertion of the hollow body in the spinal cord. As a non—limiting example, a suitable
securing mechanism contains one or more nobs mounted on the surface of the hollow
body and a sutured ring able over the one or more nobs to prevent the hollow body
(e.g., catheter) from slipping out of the spinal cord. In s embodiments, the fluid
access port comprises a reservoir. In some embodiments, the fluid access port comprises
a mechanical pump (e.g., an infusion pump). In some embodiments, an implanted
catheter is connected to either a reservoir (e. g., for bolus delivery), or an infusion pump.
The fluid access port may be implanted or external.
In some embodiments, intrathecal stration may be performed by either
lumbar puncture (i.e., slow bolus) or via a port-catheter delivery system (i.e., infusion or
bolus). In some embodiments, the catheter is inserted n the laminae of the
lumbar vertebrae and the tip is threaded up the thecal space to the desired level
ally L3-L4).
ve to intravenous administration, a single dose volume suitable for
intrathecal administration is typically small. Typically, intrathecal delivery according to
the present invention maintains the balance of the composition of the CSF as well as the
intracranial pressure of the subject. In some embodiments, intrathecal delivery is
performed absent the corresponding removal of CSF from a subject. In some
embodiments, a suitable single dose volume may be e.g., less than about 10 mL, 8 mL, 6
mL, 5 mL, 4 mL, 3 mL, 2 mL, 1.5 mL, 1 mL, or 0.5 mL. In some embodiments, a
suitable single dose volume may be about 0.5—5 mL, 0.5-4 mL, 0.5-3 mL, 0.5-2 mL, 0.5-
1 mL, 1-3 mL, 1-5 mL, 1.5-3 mL, 1-4 mL, or 0.5—1.5 mL. In some embodiments,
intrathecal delivery ing to the present ion involves a step of removing a
desired amount of CSF first. In some embodiments, less than about 10 mL (e.g., less
than about 9 mL, 8 mL, 7 mL, 6 mL, 5 mL, 4 mL, 3 mL, 2 mL, 1 mL) of CSF is first
removed before intrathecal administration. In those cases, a suitable single dose volume
may be e.g., more than about 3 mL, 4 mL, 5 mL, 6 mL, 7 mL, 8 mL, 9 mL, 10 mL, 15
mL, or 20 mL. Ranges and values intermediate to the above recited ranges and values
are also contemplated to be part of the invention.
Various other devices may be used to effect intrathecal stration of a
therapeutic composition. For example, formulations containing desired enzymes may be
given using an Ommaya reservoir which is in common use for intrathecally
administering drugs for meningeal carcinomatosis (Lancet 2: 983—84, 1963). More
specifically, in this method, a ventricular tube is ed through a hole formed in the
anterior horn and is connected to an Ommaya reservoir installed under the scalp, and the
reservoir is subcutaneously punctured to intrathecally deliver the particular enzyme
being ed, which is ed into the reservoir. Other devices for hecal
administration of therapeutic compositions or formulations to an individual are
described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,217,552, the entire contents of which, as they relate to these
devices, are incorporated herein by nce. Alternatively, the drug may be
intrathecally given, for example, by a single injection, or continuous infusion. It should
be understood that the dosage treatment may be in the form of a single dose
administration or multiple doses.
For injection, formulations of the invention can be formulated in liquid solutions.
In addition, the NaGlu enzyme may be formulated in solid form and re—dissolved or
suspended ately prior to use. Lyophilized forms are also included. The injection
can be, for example, in the form of a bolus injection or continuous infusion (e.g., using
infusion pumps) of the NaGlu enzyme.
In one embodiment of the invention, the NaGlu enzyme is administered by
lateral cerebro ventricular injection into the brain of a subject. The injection can be
made, for example, through a burr hole made in the subj ect's skull. In another
embodiment, the enzyme andfor other ceutical formulation is administered
through a surgically ed shunt into the cerebral ventricle of a subject. For example,
the injection can be made into the lateral ventricles, which are larger. In some
ments, injection into the third and fourth smaller ventricles can also be made.
In yet another embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions used in the present
invention are administered by injection into the cistema magna, or lumbar area of a
subject.
In another embodiment of the method of the invention, the pharmaceutically
acceptable formulation es sustained delivery, e.g., "slow release" of the enzyme or
other pharmaceutical composition used in the present invention, to a subject for at least
one, two, three, four weeks or longer periods of time after the pharmaceutically
acceptable formulation is stered to the t.
As used , the term “sustained delivery” refers to continual delivery of a
pharmaceutical ation of the ion in viva over a period of time following
administration, preferably at least several days, a week or l weeks. Sustained
delivery of the composition can be demonstrated by, for example, the continued
therapeutic effect of the enzyme over time (e.g., sustained delivery of the enzyme can be
demonstrated by continued reduced amount of storage granules in the subject).
Alternatively, sustained delivery of the enzyme may be demonstrated by detecting the
presence of the enzyme in viva over time.
B. Intravenous ry
As discussed above, one of the surprising features of the present invention is that
the recombinant human NaGlu ns of the invention are able to effectively and
extensively diffuse across the blood brain barrier (BBB) and brain surface and penetrate
various layers or regions of the brain, including deep brain regions, when administered
intravenously. The methods of the present invention effectively deliver the rhNaGlu
proteins to various tissues, neurons or cells of the central s system (CNS), which
are hard to target by existing CNS delivery methods. Furthermore, the methods of the
present invention r sufficient s of the recombinant human NaGlu proteins
to the blood stream and various peripheral organs and tissues.
“Intravenous injection,” often medically referred to as IV push or bolus injection,
refers to a route of administration in which a syringe is connected to the IV access
device and the medication is injected directly, typically rapidly and occasionally up to a
period of 15 minutes if it might cause tion of the vein or a too-rapid effect. Once a
medicine has been injected into the fluid stream of the IV tubing, there must be some
means of ensuring that it gets from the tubing to the patient. Usually this is
accomplished by allowing the fluid stream to flow normally and thereby carry the
ne into the bloodstream. However, in some cases a second fluid injection,
sometimes called a ” is used following the first injection to facilitate the entering
of the medicine into the bloodstream.
“Intravenous infusion” refers to a route of administration in which medication is
red over an extended period of time. For example, the medication can be
red to a patient over a period of time n 1 and 8 hours. The medication can
also be delivered to a patient over a period of about 1, about 2, about 3, about 4, about 5,
about 6, about 7, or about 8 hours. To accomplish an intravenous infusion, an IV gravity
drip or an IV pump can be used. IV infusion is typically used when a patient requires
medications only at certain times and does not require additional intravenous fluids (e. g.,
water solutions which can contain sodium, chloride, glucose, or any combination
thereof) such as those that restore olytes, blood sugar, and water loss.
C. Target Tissues
In some embodiments, the rhNaGlu of the invention is delivered to the central
nervous system (CNS) of a subject. In some embodiments, the rhNaGlu of the invention
is delivered to one or more of target s of brain, spinal cord, and/or peripheral
organs. As used herein, the term t " refers to any tissue that is affected by
the NaGlu associated disease to be treated or any tissue in which the deficient NaGlu is
normally expressed. In some embodiments, target tissues include those tissues in which
there is a detectable or abnormally high amount of enzyme substrate, for example stored
in the cellular lysosomes of the tissue, in patients suffering from or susceptible to the
NaGlu associated disease. In some embodiments, target tissues include those tissues
that display a disease-associated pathology, symptom, or feature. In some embodiments,
target tissues include those tissues in which the deficient NaGlu is normally expressed at
an elevated level. As used herein, a target tissue may be a brain target tissue, a spinal
cord target tissue and/or a peripheral target tissue. Exemplary target tissues are described
in detail below.

brainstem, which resembles a stalk on which the cerebrum is attached. At the rear of the
brain, beneath the cerebrum and behind the tem, is the cerebellum.
The phalon, which is located near the midline of the brain and above the
mesencephalon, contains the thalamus, metathalamus, hypothalamus, lamus,
prethalamus, and pretectum. The mesencephalon, also called the midbrain, contains the
tectum, tegumentum, ventricular mesocoelia, and cerebral peduncels, the red nucleus,
and the cranial nerve III nucleus. The mesencephalon is associated with vision, g,
motor control, sleep/wake, alertness, and ature regulation.

H. Treatment of Sanfilippo Syndrome
Sanfilippo syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis III (MPS III), is a rare genetic
disorder characterized by the ency of enzymes involved in the degradation of
glycosaminoglycans (GAG). In the absence of enzyme, partially degraded GAG
molecules cannot be cleared from the body and accumulate in lysosomes of various
s, resulting in progressive widespread somatic dysfunction (Neufeld and Muenzer,
2001).
Four distinct forms of MPS III, designated MPS IIIA, B, C, and D, have been
identified. Each represents a deficiency in one of four enzymes involved in the
degradation of the GAG n sulfate. All forms e varying degrees of the same
clinical symptoms, including coarse facial features, hepatosplenomegaly, corneal
clouding and skeletal deformities. Most notably, however, is the severe and progressive
loss of cognitive ability, which is tied not only to the accumulation of n sulfate in
neurons, but also the subsequent elevation of the gangliosides GM2, GM3 and GD2
caused by primary GAG accumulation (Walkley 1998).
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (MPS IIIB; Sanfilippo syndrome B) is an
autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-
yl-glucosaminidase (NaGlu). In the e of this enzyme, GAG heparan sulfate
accumulates in lysosomes of neurons and glial cells, with lesser accumulation e
the brain.
A defining clinical feature of this disorder is central nervous system (CNS)
degeneration, which s in loss of, or e to attain, major developmental
milestones. The progressive ive decline culminates in dementia and premature
mortality. The disease typically manifests itself in young children, and the lifespan of an
affected individual generally does not extend beyond late teens to early es.
Compositions and methods of the present invention may be used to effectively
treat individuals suffering from or susceptible to Sanfilippo syndrome B. The terms,
“treat” or “treatment,” as used herein, refers to amelioration of one or more symptoms
associated with the disease, prevention or delay of the onset of one or more symptoms of
the disease, and/or lessening of the ty or frequency of one or more symptoms of
the disease.
In some embodiments, treatment refers to partial or complete alleviation,
amelioration, relief, inhibition, delaying onset, reducing severity and/or incidence of
neurological impairment in a ippo syndrome B patient. As used herein, the term
“neurological impairment” includes various symptoms associated with impairment of
the central nervous system (e.g., the brain and spinal cord). ms of neurological
impairment may include, for example, developmental delay, progressive cognitive
impairment, hearing loss, impaired speech development, deficits in motor skills,
hyperactivity, siveness and/or sleep disturbances, among others.
Thus, in some embodiments, treatment refers to decreased lysosomal storage
(e.g., of GAG) in various tissues. In some embodiments, treatment refers to sed
lysosomal storage in brain target tissues, spinal cord neurons, and/or peripheral target
tissues. In certain embodiments, lysosomal storage is decreased by about 5%, 10%, 15%,
%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%,
95%, 100% or more as compared to a control. In some ments, lysosomal e
is decreased by at least 1-fold, 2—fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 6-fold, 7-fold, 8-fold, 9-fold
or 10-fold as compared to a control. In some embodiments, lysosomal e is
determined by LAMP-1 staining. Ranges and values intermediate to the above recited
ranges and values are also contemplated to be part of the invention.
In some embodiments, treatment refers to d vacuolization in neurons
(e. g., s containing Purkinje . In certain embodiments, ization in
neurons is decreased by about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%,
55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100% or more as compared to a

fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 6-fold, 7-fold, 8-fold, 9-fold or 10-fold as compared to a l.
Ranges and values intermediate to the above recited ranges and values are also
contemplated to be part of the ion.
In some embodiments, treatment refers to increased NaGlu enzyme activity in
various tissues. In some ments, treatment refers to increased NaGlu enzyme
activity in brain target tissues, spinal cord neurons and/or peripheral target tissues. In

ranges and values are also contemplated to be part of the invention.
In certain embodiments, treatment according to the present invention results in a
reduction (e.g., about a 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%,
70%, 75%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 97.5%, 99% or more reduction) or a complete elimination
of the presence, or alternatively the accumulation, of one or more pathological or
biological markers which are associated with the NaGlu associated disease. Such
ion or elimination may be particularly t in the cells and tissues of the CNS
(e. g., neurons and oligodendrocytes). For example, in some embodiments, upon
stration to a subject the pharmaceutical compositions of the t invention
trate or achieve a reduction in the accumulation of the ker lysosomal
associated membrane protein 1 (LAMPl) in the CNS cells and s of the subject
(6. g., in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, caudate nucleus and putamen, White matter
and/or us). LAMPl is a glycoprotein highly expressed in lysosomal membranes
and its ce is elevated many patients with a lysosomal storage disorder (Meikle et
al., Clin. Chem. (1997) 43: 1325—1335). The presence or absence of LAMP 1 in patients
(e.g., as determined by LAMP staining) with a lysosomal storage disease therefore may
provide a useful indicator of lysosomal activity and a marker for both the diagnosis and
monitoring of lysosomal storage diseases.
Accordingly, some ments of the present invention relate to s of
reducing or otherwise eliminating the presence or accumulation of one or more
pathological or ical markers associated with the NaGlu associated disease.
rly, some embodiments of the invention relate to methods of increasing the
degradation (or the rate of degradation) of one or more pathological or biological
markers (e.g., LAMPl) associated with lysosomal storage diseases.
In some embodiments, treatment refers to decreased progression of loss of
cognitive ability. In certain embodiments, progression of loss of cognitive ability is
decreased by about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%,
65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100% or more as ed to a control. In
some embodiments, treatment refers to sed developmental delay. In certain
embodiments, developmental delay is decreased by about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%,
%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%
or more as compared to a control. Ranges and values ediate to the above d
ranges and values are also contemplated to be part of the invention.
In some embodiments, ent refers to increased survival (e.g., survival time).
For example, treatment can result in an increased life expectancy of a patient. In some
embodiments, treatment according to the present invention results in an increased life
expectancy of a patient by more than about 5%, about 10%, about 15%, about 20%,
about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%,
about 60%, about 65 %, about ?0%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%,

expectancy of a patient by more than about 6 month, about 7 months, about 8 ,
about 9 months, about 10 months, about 11 months, about 12 , about 2 years,
about 3 years, about 4 years, about 5 years, about 6 years, about 7 years, about 8 years,
about 9 years, about 10 years or more, as compared to the average life expectancy of one
or more control individuals with similar disease without treatment. In some
ments, treatment according to the present invention results in long term survival
of a patient. As used herein, the term "long term survival" refers to a survival time or life
expectancy longer than about 40 years, 45 years, 50 years, 55 years, 60 years, or longer.
Ranges and values intermediate to the above recited ranges and values are also
contemplated to be part of the invention.
The terms, “improve,” “increase” or “reduce,” as used herein, indicate values
that are relative to a l. In some embodiments, a suitable control is a baseline
measurement, such as a measurement in the same individual prior to initiation of the
treatment described herein, or a measurement in a control individual (or multiple control
individuals) in the absence of the treatment described herein. A "control individual" is an
individual ed with Sanfilippo syndrome B, who is about the same age and/or
gender as the individual being treated (to ensure that the stages of the disease in the
treated individual and the l individual(s) are comparable).
The individual (also referred to as “patient” or “subject”) being treated is an
individual , infant, child, adolescent, or adult human) having Sanfilippo syndrome
B or having the potential to develop Sanfilippo syndrome B. The individual can have
residual nous NaGlu expression and/or activity, or no measurable activity. For
example, the individual having Sanfilippo me B may have NaGlu expression
levels that are less than about 30-50%, less than about 25-30%, less than about 20-25%,
less than about 15-20%, less than about 10-15%, less than about 5-10%, less than about
0.1-5% of normal NaGlu expression levels. Ranges and values intermediate to the
above recited ranges and values are also contemplated to be part of the invention.
In some embodiments, the individual is an dual who has been recently
sed with the disease. Typically, early ent ment commencing as soon as
possible after diagnosis) is important to minimize the effects of the disease and to
maximize the benefits of treatment.
I. Combination Therapies
Recombinant human NaGlu proteins, for instance a recombinant human NaGlu
protein ning a sufficient amount of oligosaccharides (e.g., mannose and
phosphorylated mannose (i.e., M6P)), can be used alone or in combination to treat
NaGlu associated diseases (e. g., Sanfilippo Syndrome B). It should be understood that
the recombinant human NaGlu proteins of the invention can be used alone or in
combination with an additional procedure, e.g., surgical procedure, or agent, e.g.,
therapeutic agent, the onal procedure or agent being selected by the skilled artisan
for its intended purpose. For instance, the additional procedure or agent can be a
therapeutic procedure or agent art-recognized as being useful to treat the disease or
condition being d by the recombinant human NaGlu protein of the present
invention. The additional ure or agent also can be an agent that imparts a
beneficial attribute to the therapeutic composition, e. g., an agent which affects the
viscosity of the composition.
It should also be understood that the combinations which are ed within this
invention are those combinations useful for their intended purpose. The agents and
procedures set forth below are for illustrative es and not intended to be limiting to
the present invention. The combinations, which are part of this invention, can be the
inant human NaGlu proteins of the present invention and at least one additional
agent or procedure selected from the lists below. The combination can also include
more than one additional agent or procedure, e.g., two or three additional agents if the
combination is such that the formed composition can perform its intended function.
The combination therapy can include surgical procedures, gene therapy, or
enzyme-replacement therapy. Additionally, the recombinant human NaGlu protein can
be coformulated with one or more additional therapeutic agents, e.g., other recombinant
proteins or antibodies or drugs capable of ting or reducing the accumulation of
undegraded ates (e.g., ate reduction therapy).
In one or more embodiments, the combination therapy can include co-
administration with immunosuppresants, as discussed in further detail below.
Immunosuppresants such as, but not limited to, antihistamines, corticosteroids,
sirolimus, voclosporin, ciclosporin, methotrexate, IL—2 receptor directed antibodies, T-
cell receptor directed dies, TNF-alpha directed antibodies or fusion proteins (e.g.,
infliximab, etanercept, or adalimumab), CTLAIg (e.g., abatacept), anti-OX-40
antibodies can also be administered before, during, or after administration of a
recombinant human protein, such as a recombinant human NaGlu protein, for example,
if an anaphylactic reaction or adverse immune response is ed or experienced by a
patient.
J. Immunogenicity
The ceutical compositions of the present ion are characterized by
their tolerability. As used herein, the terms “tolerable” and “tolerability” refer to the
ability of the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention to not elicit an
adverse reaction in the subject to whom such composition is stered, or
alternatively not to elicit a serious adverse reaction in the subject to whom such
composition is administered. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of
the present invention are well tolerated by the t to whom such compositions is
administered.
Generally, administration of a rhNaGlu protein according to the t
invention does not result in severe adverse effects in the subject. As used herein, severe
adverse effects induce, but are not limited to, substantial immune se, ty, or
death. As used herein, the term antial immune se” refers to severe or
serious immune responses, such as adaptive T-cell immune responses.
Thus, in many embodiments, inventive methods according to the present
invention do not involve concurrent immunosuppressant therapy (i. 6., any
immunosuppressant therapy used as pre-treatmentipre-conditioning or in parallel to the
method). In some embodiments, inventive methods according to the present invention
do not involve an immune tolerance induction in the subject being treated. In some
embodiments, inventive methods according to the present invention do not involve a
pre-treatment or ditioning of the subject using T-cell immunosuppressive agent.
However, in some embodiments, a subject mounts an immune response after
being stered the rhNaGlu of the invention. Thus, in some embodiments, it may be
useful to render the subject receiving the rhNaGlu of the invention tolerant to the
enzyme replacement y. Immune tolerance may be induced using various methods
known in the art. For example, an initial 30-60 day regimen of a T-cell
immunosuppressive agent such as cyclosporin A (CsA) and an oliferative agent,
such as, azathioprine (Aza), combined with weekly intrathecal ons of low doses of
a desired replacement enzyme may be used.
Any immunosuppressant agent known to the skilled artisan may be employed
together with a combination therapy of the invention. Such immunosuppressant agents
include but are not limited to cyclosporine, FK506, rapamycin, CTLA4-Ig, and anti-TNF
agents such as etanercept (see e. g., Moder, 2000, Ann. Allergy Asthma Immunol. 84,
280-284; , 2000, Curr. Opin. Pediatr. 12, 146-150; Kurlberg et al., 2000, Scand. J.
Immunol. 51, 224-230; Ideguchi et al., 2000, Neuroscience 95, 217-226; et al.,
1999, Ann. NY. Acad. Sci. 875, 159-174; Slavik et al., 1999, l. Res. 19, 1-24;
Gaziev et al., 1999, Bone Marrow Transplant. 25, 6; Henry, 1999, Clin.
Transplant. 13, 209-220; Gummert et al., 1999, J. Am. Soc. Nephrol. 10, 1366-1380; Qi
et al., 2000, Transplantation 69, 1275—1283). The anti-1L2 receptor (or-subunit) antibody
daclizumab (e. g., ZenapaxTM), which has been demonstrated effective in transplant
patients, can also be used as an immunosuppressant agent (see e. g., Wiseman et al.,
1999, Drugs 58, 1029-1042; Beniaminovitz et al., 2000, N. Engl J. Med. 342, 613-619;
Ponticelli et al., 1999, Drugs R. D. 1, 55—60; Berard et al., 1999, Pharmacotherapy 19, 1
127-1 137; Eckhoff et al., 2000, Transplantation 69, 1867—1872; Ekberg et al., 2000,
l. Int. 13, 15 1- 159). Additional immunosuppressant agents include but are not
limited to anti-CD2 (Branco et al., 1999, lantation 68, 1588-1596; Przepiorka et
al., 1998, Blood 92, 4066-40?1), anti-CD4 (Marinova-Mutafchieva et al., 2000, Arthritis
Rheum. 43, 638-644; Fishwild et al., 1999, Clin. Immunol. 92, 138-152), and anti-CD40
ligand (Hong et al., 2000, Semin. Nephrol. 20, 108-125; Chirmule et al., 2000, J. Virol.
74, 3345-3352; Ito et al., 2000, J. Immunol. 164, 1230-1235).
In other embodiments, the invention es methods comprising co-
administration of the NaGlu proteins of the present invention with agents which
decrease or suppress an immune response to the NaGlu protein, e. g.,
immunosuppresants. Immunosuppresants such as, but not limited to, antihistamines,
osteroids, sirolimus, voclosporin, ciclosporin, methotrexate, IL-2 receptor directed
antibodies, T-cell receptor directed antibodies, TNF-alpha directed antibodies or fusion
ns (e. g., infliximab, cept, or umab), -Ig (e.g., ept), anti-
OX-40 antibodies can also be administered before, , or after administration of a
recombinant human protein, such as a recombinant human NaGlu protein, for example,
if an anaphylactic reaction or adverse immune response is expected or experienced by a
patient.
In one embodiment, the invention provides for a pretreatment procedure to
minimize or prevent any potential anaphylactic reactions that can be incurred by
administration of the recombinant protein in accordance with the invention. In one
embodiment, to prevent a ial anaphylactic reaction, an H-1 receptor antagonist,
also known as an antihistamine (e. g., diphenhydramine) is administered to the patient.
In one embodiment, the H-1 receptor antagonist is administered in a dose of about 1 mg
to about 10 mg per kilogram of body weight. For example, an antihistamine can be
administered in a dose of about 5 mg per kilogram. In one embodiment, the
antihistamine is administered in a dose of between about 0.1 mg and about 10 mg per
kilogram of body weight. In one ment, the antihistamine is administered in a
dose between about 1 mg and about 5 mg per kilogram of body weight. For example the
dose can be 1 mg, 2 mg, 3 mg, 4 mg, or 5 mg per kilogram of body weight. The
antihistamine can be administered by any useful method. In one embodiment, the
antihistamine is administered intravenously. In another embodiment, the antihistamine
is stered in pharrnaceutically acceptable capsules.
Administration of the antihistamine can be prior to the stration of the
recombinant NaGlu in accordance with the invention. In one embodiment, the H-1
receptor nist is administered about 10 to about 90 minutes, for example, about 30
to about 60 minutes prior to the stration of recombinant NaGlu. The H-l receptor
antagonist can be administered using an ambulatory system connected to a ar
access port. In one embodiment, the antihistamine is administered about 90 minutes
prior to the administration of recombinant NaGlu. In one ment, the antihistamine
is administered between about 10 and about 60 minutes prior to the administration of
recombinant NaGlu. In another embodiment, the antihistamine is administered between
about 20 and about 40 minutes prior to administering recombinant NaGlu. For example,
the antihistamine can be administered 20, 25, 30, 35, or 40 minutes prior to the
administration of recombinant NaGlu.
In one embodiment, the antihistamine administered is diphenhydramine. Any
useful antihistamine can be used. Such antihistamines include, without limitation,
clemastine, doxylamine, dine, atidine, fexofenadine, pheniramine, cetirizine,
ebastine, promethazine, chlorpheniramine, levocetirizine, olopatadine, quetiapine,
meclizine, dimenhydrinate, embramine, dimethidene, and dexchloropheniramine.
In another embodiment, with reference to intravenous infusion, the potential for
anaphylactic reactions can be reduced by administering the infusions using a ramp-up
protocol. In this context, a ramp-up protocol refers to slowly increasing the rate of the
on over the course of the infusion in order to desensitize the patient to the infusion
of the tion.
K. Administration
The methods of the present invention contemplate single as well as multiple
administrations of a therapeutically effective amount of the rhNaGlu of the invention
described herein. The rhNaGlu of the invention can be administered at regular intervals,
depending on the , severity and extent of the subject's condition. In some
embodiments, a therapeutically ive amount of the rhNaGlu protein of the t
invention may be administered intravenously or intrathecally periodically at regular
intervals (e. g., once every year, once every six , once every five months, once
every three months, bimonthly (once every two months), monthly (once every month),
biweekly (once every two weeks) or weekly).
In some embodiments, intrathecal administration may be used in conjunction
with other routes of administration (e.g., enous, subcutaneously, intramuscularly,
parenterally, trans dermally, or transmucosally (e.g., orally or nasally)). In some
embodiments, those other routes of administration (e.g., intravenous administration) may
be performed no more frequent than biweekly, monthly, once every two months, once
every three months, once every four months, once every five months, once every six
months, annually stration.
As used herein, the term "therapeutically effective amount" is largely determined
based on the total amount of the therapeutic agent contained in the pharmaceutical
compositions of the present invention. lly, a therapeutically effective amount is
sufficient to achieve a meaningful benefit to the subject (e.g., treating, ting,
, preventing and/or rating the underlying disease or condition). For
example, a therapeutically effective amount may be an amount sufficient to achieve a
desired therapeutic and/or prophylactic effect, such as an amount sufficient to modulate
lysosomal enzyme receptors or their activity to thereby treat such lysosomal storage
disease or the symptoms thereof (e.g., a reduction in or elimination of the ce or
incidence of “zebra bodies” or cellular vacuolization following the administration of the
compositions of the present invention to a subject). Generally, the amount of a
therapeutic agent (e.g., the rhNaGlu of the invention) administered to a subject in need
thereof will depend upon the characteristics of the subject. Such characteristics include
the condition, disease severity, general health, age, sex and body weight of the subject.
One of ordinary skill in the art will be readily able to determine appropriate dosages
depending on these and other d factors. In addition, both objective and subjective
assays may optionally be employed to identify optimal dosage ranges.
A therapeutically effective amount is commonly administered in a dosing
regimen that may comprise multiple unit doses. For any particular therapeutic n, a
therapeutically ive amount (and/or an riate unit dose within an effective
dosing regimen) may vary, for example, depending on route of administration, on
combination with other pharmaceutical . Also, the specific eutically
effective amount (and/or unit dose) for any particular patient may depend upon a y
of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the
—67-
activity of the specific pharmaceutical agent employed; the specific composition
ed; the age, body weight, l health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of
administration, route of administration, and/0r rate of excretion or metabolism of the
specific fusion protein employed; the duration of the treatment; and like factors as is
well known in the medical arts.
In some embodiments, the therapeutically effective dose ranges from about 0.005
mg/kg body weight to 500 mg/kg body weight, e.g., from about 0.005 mg/kg body
weight to 400 mg/kg body weight, from about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 300 mg/kg
body , from about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 200 mg/kg body weight, from
about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 100 mg/kg body weight, from about 0.005 mg/kg
body weight to 90 mg/kg body weight, from about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 80
mg/kg body weight, from about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 70 mg/kg body weight,
from about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 60 mg/kg body weight, from about 0.005 mg/kg
body weight to 50 mg/kg body weight, from about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 40
mg/kg body weight, from about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 30 mg/kg body weight,
from about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 25 mg/kg body weight, from about 0.005 mg/kg
body weight to 20 mg/kg body weight, from about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 15
mg/kg body weight, from about 0.005 mg/kg body weight to 10 mg/kg bra body in
weight. Ranges and values intermediate to the above recited ranges and values (e.g., 10-
50 mg/kg, 1-5 mg/kg, 2-8 mg/kg, 5—10 mg/kg, 0.1-10 mg/kg, 0.3-30 mg/kg, 0.3-50
mg/kg, 0.5-10 mg/kg, 5-30 mgikg, or 6-27 mg/kg) are also contemplated to be part of
the invention.
In some embodiments, the therapeutically effective dose is greater than or at least
about 0.1 mg/kg body weight, greater than or at least about 0.2 mg/kg body ,
greater than or at least about 0.3 mg/kg body weight, greater than or at least about 0.4
mg/kg body weight, greater than or at least about 0.5 mg/kg body weight, greater than or
at least about 1.0 mg/kg body , greater than or at least about 3 mg/kg body
, greater than or at least about 5 mg/kg body weight, greater than or at least about
6 mg/kg body , greater than or at least about 7 mg/kg body weight greater than or
at least about 10 mg/kg body weight, greater than or at least about 15 mg/kg body
weight, greater than or at least about 20 mg/kg body weight, greater than or at least
about 30 mg/kg body weight, greater than or at least about 40 mg/kg body weight,
greater than or at least about 50 mg/kg body weight, greater than or at least about 60
mg/kg body weight, greater than or at least about 70 mg/kg body , greater than
about or at least 80 mg/kg body weight, greater than or at least about 90 mg/kg body
weight, greater than or at least about 100 mg/kg body weight. Ranges and values
intermediate to the above recited ranges and values are also contemplated to be part of
the invention.
In some embodiments, the eutically ive dose may also be defined by
mg/kg brain weight. As one skilled in the art would appreciate, the brain s and
body s can be ated (see, e. g., Dekaban AS. "Changes in brain weights
during the span of human life: relation of brain weights to body heights and body
weights," Ann Neurol 1978; 42345—56).
In some embodiments, the therapeutically effective dose may also be defined by
mg/15 cc of CSF. As one skilled in the art would appreciate, therapeutically effective
doses based on brain weights and body weights can be converted to mg/15 cc of CSF.
For example, the volume of CSF in adult humans is approximately 150 mL (Johanson
CE, et a1. "Multiplicity of cerebrospinal fluid functions: New challenges in health and
e," Cerebrospinal Fluid Res. 2008 May 14;5: 10). Therefore, single dose
injections of 0.1 mg to 50 mg protein to adults would be approximately 0.01 mg/15 cc of
CSF (0.1 mg) to 5.0 mg/15 cc of CSF (50 mg) doses in adults.
It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage
regimens should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the
professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of
the enzyme replacement therapy and that dosage ranges set forth herein are exemplary
only and are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed invention.
VIII. m
The present invention further provides kits or other articles of manufacture which
contain the recombinant human NaGlu of the t invention and provide instructions
for its reconstitution (if lized) and/or use. Kits or other articles of manufacture
may include a container, a catheter and any other articles, s or equipment useful in
intrathecal administration and associated surgery. Suitable containers include, for
example, bottles, vials, syringes (e.g., pre-filled syringes), s, cartridges,
reservoirs, or lyo-j ects. The container may be formed from a variety of materials such as
glass or c. In some embodiments, a container is a pre—filled syringe. Suitable pre-
filled es include, but are not limited to, licate glass syringes with baked
silicone coating, borosilicate glass syringes with sprayed ne, or plastic resin
es without silicone.
Typically, a label on, or associated with, the container may te directions for
use and/or reconstitution. For example, the label may indicate that the formulation is
reconstituted to protein concentrations as described above. The label may further
indicate that the formulation is useful or intended for, for example, intravenous or
intrathecal administration. In some embodiments, a container may contain a single dose
of a stable formulation containing a replacement enzyme (e.g., a recombinant NaGlu
protein). In various embodiments, a single dose of the stable formulation is present in a
volume of less than about 15 mL, 10 mL, 5.0 mL, 4.0 mL, 3.5 mL, 3.0 mL, 2.5 mL, 2.0
mL, 1.5 mL, 1.0 mL, or 0.5 mL. Alternatively, a container holding the ation may
be a multi-use vial, which allows for repeat administrations (e.g., from 2-6
administrations) of the formulation. Kits or other articles of manufacture may further
include a second container comprising a suitable diluent (e.g., BWPI, saline, buffered
saline). Upon mixing of the diluent and the formulation, the final protein concentration
in the reconstituted formulation will generally be at least 1 mg/mL (e. g., at least 5
mg/mL, at least 10 mg/mL, at least 25 mg/mL, at least 50 mg/ mL, at least 75 mg/mL, at
least 100 mg/mL).
Kits or other articles of cture may further include other materials
desirable from a commercial and user oint, including other buffers, diluents,
filters, s, catheters, es, and package inserts with instructions for use.
Ranges and values intermediate to the above recited ranges and values are also

EW/m2 for each filter. The hold volume of membrane is 2 L/m2 for T2600 and 4-5 L/m2
for PDFl. In the process, the hold volume was discarded before the filtered EW
collected. The buffer (20 mM Phosphate/137 mM NaCl, pH 6) equivalent to the
membrane hold volume was used to chase EW left on the filters.
A phenyl-HIC (hydrophobic interaction chromatography) column was applied as
a e step. Since most of egg white proteins are hydrophilic, 99% of egg white
proteins passed through the HIC column into flow through. rhNaGlu has a higher
hydrophobicity binding to phenyl—HIC.
Egg white containing u was loaded onto the column with a ratio of 30:1.
After completion of loading, the column was washed with the equilibration buffer, 5
mM phosphate buffer, pH 6, and 5 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.2. rhNaGlu was eluted with
% propylene glycol, pH 7.2. After the completion of loading, the column was washed
with equilibration buffer and 5 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6). rhNaGlu was eluted with
% propylene glycol with 5 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.2). The column binding capacity is
approximately 4.5 mg/mL. The purity of rhNaGlu h the phenyl-HIC column can
be reached to >95% (950 time increase). The recovery is approximately 80% with 30%
of ene glycol elution.
The eluted u fraction was adjusted to pH 5 with l M acetic acid and then
loaded onto a GigaCap S column (EW: column size=10:l). The column was
equilibrated with 50 mM NaOAc buffer (pH 5). After completion of loading, the
column was washed with the equilibration buffer. The rhNaGlu was eluted with 50 mM
NaOAc/60 mM NaCl (pH 5).
The protein characterization was med using purified rhNaGlu. The
molecular weight of rhNaGlu (~90 kDa) purified from egg white was analyzed on SDS-
PAGE (Fig. 6). The average expression level of rhNaGlu in egg white is shown in Fig.
7. The characteristics of rhNaGlu produced from the transgenic avian are summarized
in Table 2.

Stability ofrhNaGlu in egg white
A single egg was cracked 7‘ days post-lay and analyzed for activity. Contents
were divided in half and each half was subject to rd egg white clarification. Both
untreated and clarified egg whites were ted and stored at 4°C and -20°C for
enzyme activity stability. rhNaGlu in egg white showed stable enzyme activity at least
up to 50 days.
Freeze/thaw cycle stability was assessed. The purified rhNaGlu was frozen in
liquid nitrogen for 10 seconds and thawed at 37 0C for 2 min. The enzyme activity
showed no change for 10 cycles.
The purified rhNaGlu was dialyzed into different pH buffers to measure the
stability of pure enzyme. The results showed that pure rhNaGlu was stable between pH
-8 for 12 days.

Oligosaccharide Profiling
ephosphate (M6P) is a terminal monosaccharide of N—linked
oligosaccharides that is an important part of the tertiary structure of glycoprotein and,
when incorporated in the glycoprotein’s final oligosaccharide, is recognized by and
bound to the M6P receptors present on the cell surface, subsequently allowing
internalization into the lysosomes. Thus, M6P is an ive epitope for the targeting of
glycoproteins to the lysosomes.
Analysis of protein glycosylation is an important part of rotein
characterization. Oligosaccharides can be linked to a protein through a serine or a
threonine as O-lined glycans or through an asparagine as N-linked glycans.
To analyze the structure of oligosaccharides, various chromatographic and
spectroscopic techniques were performed. erformance anion exchange
chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC—PAD) was employed.
Using this technique, oligosaccharides were y separated into general groups based
on charge (i.e., neutral, singly charged, or multiply charged) and their structures were
determined by comparison to pure standards.
All methods were based on protocols bed by Hardy and nd (Hardy,
M. R., and Townsend, R. R., “High—pH exchange chromatography of
glycoprotein-derived carbohydrates”, 1994, Methods Enzymol. 230: 208-225). Purified
samples of transgenic avian derived rhNaGlu were ed using a Tube-O-Dialyzer
against nanopure water at 4°C for about 24 hours to remove salts and other
contaminants. Nanopure water was replaced four times during the entire dialysis period.
After dialysis, each of the s was divided into three aliquots. The t intended
for neutral and amino sugars analysis was hydrolyzed with 2 N trifluoroacetic acid
(TFA) at 100°C for 4 hours and the aliquot for ephosphate analysis was
yzed with 6.75 N TFA at 100°C for 1.5 hours. The hydrolysates were then dried
under N2, re-dissolved with 50 uL H20, sonicated for 7 min in ice and transferred to an
injection vial.
A mix of rds for neutral and amino sugars, and for mannose—6—phosphate
with a known number of moles was hydrolyzed in the same manner and at the same time
as the sample. Four ent concentrations of the neutral and amino sugar standard
mix and ephosphate were prepared to establish a calibration equation. The
number of moles of each sugar in the sample was quantified by linear interpolation from
the calibration equation.
The oligossacharide profile and mannose—6—phosphate profile were analyzed
separately by HPAEC-PAD. Instrument l and data acquisition were accomplished
using Dionex chromeleon software. HPAEC—PAD analysis of hydrolyzed rhNaGlu
ed M6P. The mean measured amount of M6P was 3.8 ug (CV 3.7%) per 210 ug
of hydrolyzed protein. Converting to moles resulted in 13.4 nmol of M6P per 2.8 nmol
of protein which was equivalent to a ratio of 3.2 moles of M6P per mole of protein.
The oligosaccharide profile was also obtained for rhNaGlu (Gallus) using
HPAEC—PAD (see Fig. 8). The profiles demonstrated good repeatability of the PNGase
F reaction on the single sample. Peak clusters were observed in s corresponding
to neutral oligosaccharides (~10 min to ~20 min). A group of significantly smaller
peaks eluting between ~25 and ~35 min were also observed, which were possibly
attributed to singly charged species.
The monosaccharide composition analysis results ed from samples of
rhNaGlu produced from a transgenic avian (Callus) are summarized in Table 3, which
tabulates the average molar ratio of each monosaccharide analyzed for rhNaGlu.

Cellular Uptake into Fibroblasts
Wild-type human fibroblasts and mucopolysaccharidosis III B (NaGlu ent)
human fibroblasts were placed in a 24—well plate (2.5 x 104 cells per well) and incubated
for overnight at 37°C in 5% C02. Conditioned media containing fibroblast basal
medium and fibroblast growth kit having low serum were used. Various amounts of
rhNaGlu (30, 10, 3.0, 1.0, 0.3 and 0 pg/mL) were co-incubated for 24 hours at 370C
with 5% C02 to determine levels of cellular uptake by the human lasts (see, Fig.
9). The wells were washed three times with PBS. 100pL1ysis buffer was added per
well and the plate was incubated for 10 min at 37°C. Cell lysate was transferred into 1.5
mL centrifuge tube. One cycle of freezing and thawing was med. The cell lysate
was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min. 25pL of supernatants were used for the
assay. The assay time was 2 hours. The enzyme activity was measured using the
methods known in the art and according to the methods described in Marsh et al.,
Clinical Genetics (1985) 27: 258—262, Chow et al., Carbohydrate Research (1981)
96:87-93; Weber et al., Protein Expression and Purification, (2001)21:251-259).
As shown in Fig. 9, negative control (i.e., MPS IIIB) did not exhibit any NaGlu
activity while positive l (i.e., wild—type human fibroblast) showed NaGlu activity.
MPS IIIB cells treated with 0.3 ug/mL of rhNaGlu exhibited approximately 50% of the
normal ty level observed in wild-type last cells. MPS IIIB cells treated with
1 ug/mL of rhNaGlu demonstrated NaGlu ty that was approximately 4-fold higher
than that ed in wild-type cells. Surprisingly, MPS IIIB cells treated with 30
pg/mL of rhNaGlu showed NaGlu activity that was at least 40-fold higher than that
observed in wild-type cells. This result indicated that u produced from a
enic avian (Gallus) was efficiently internalized into human fibroblasts at a high
level.
To determine whether internalization of rhNaGlu is via M6P receptor mediate
endocytosis, M6P inhibition assays were med. For the M6P inhibition assays,
various concentrations of free M6P were added to human MPS IIIB fibroblasts treated
with 30ug/mL of rhNaGlu and enzymatic activity was measured as described above As
shown in Fig. 10, human MPS IIIB fibroblasts did not exhibit any NaGlu activity,
suggesting effective inhibition of NaGlu uptake by free M6P. In contrast, MPSIII
fibroblasts treated with 30 ugImL of rhNaGlu in the absence of free M6P exhibited a
high level of tic ty, suggesting that the protein was efficiently internalized
into the NaGlu deficient fibroblasts and retained activity. This tic activity was
inhibited by the presence of M6P monosaccharide in the medium at the concentration
0.03 mM and higher. The presence of lmM of M6P monosaccharide in conditioned
medium inhibited more than 90% of cellular uptake of the n.
These results indicated that the rhNaGlu produced from a transgenic avian was
efficiently internalized into the MPS IIIB lasts via M6P receptor-mediated
endocytosis and the rhNaGlu competed with M6P ccharides for the receptor
recognition. The results were consistent with the glycan analysis that revealed the
presence of the M6P structures on the rhNaGlu produced from the transgenic avian.
Example 5
Generation ofActive NaGlu Fusion Proteins
Two different rhNaGlu fusion constructs were ed to validate the feasibility
of expressing rhNaGlu fusion proteins in the avian expression .
In one construct, a c acid sequence encoding 8 consecutive aspartic acid
residues (DDDDDDDD) was fused to the nucleic sequence encoding NaGlu protein at
the 5’ end of the full-length NaGlu cDNA sequence (SEQ ID NO:2) using conventional
PCR and DNA recombinant technology. In another construct, a nucleic acid ce
encoding TfRL (i.e., THRPPMWSPVWP; SEQ ID NO:5) was fused to the nucleic
sequence encoding NaGlu at the 3’ end of the full—length NaGlu cDNA sequence. The
—76-
each construct was inserted into the pTT22 expression vector using EcoRI and I
restriction sites. The resulting vectors were each transfected into human embryonic
kidney (HEK) 293 cells and stable clones expressing high levels of the fusion NaGlu
proteins were obtained. An rhNaGlu protein fused to a stretch of 8 consecutive aspartic
acid residues at N—terminus (AAA—NaGlu) and an rhNaGlu protein fused to transferrin
receptor ligand (TfRL) at C—terminus (NaGlu—TfRL) were isolated from conditioned
media.
The enzymatic activity of AAA-NaGlu and NaGlu-TfRL was measured using the
methods known in the art (see, e.g., Marsh et al., Clinical Genetics (1985) 27:258-262;
Chow et al., Carbohydrate Research, (1981) 96:87—93; Weber et al., Protein Expression
and Purification (2001) 21 1251—259; Neufeld et al., Protein Expression and cation
(2000) 19:202-211; and Weber et al., Human Molecular Genetics (1996) 5:771-777.
As shown in Figs. 13 and 14, AAA—NaGlu and NaGlu-TfRL fusion proteins
produced from HEK293 cells showed high levels of tic ty. These results
med the possibility that these constructs can be used to produce NaGlu fusion
proteins that have increased levels of phosphorylated mannose while retaining
enzymatic activity from a transgenic avian expression system.
Example 6
Cellular Uptake into hages
alization of u produced from Gallus into human hage cells
was also measured. NR8383 macrophage cells were incubated with lOug/mL of
rhNaGlu in F12 growth media for 0, 4, 8, 24, 32 and 48 hours at 37 0C with 5% C02.
Samples were red and washed with PBS prior to lysis. 2.5 x 105 cells were lysed
in 1 mL of lysis buffer (10mM of Na Phosphate pH6.0, 0.05% NP40), and lysates
transferred into 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min.
Protein concentration was determined by the Bradford assay and aliquots were frozen
for NaGlu enzyme assays.
Enzyme activity was measured using standard methods. 25mM of substrate (4-
methylumbelliferyl 2-Acetamido—2—deoxy-a-D-glucopyranoside) was diluted to 2mM in
nanopure water to form a working substrate stock. ons of samples were prepared
in assay buffer (1% bovine serum albumin). 25pL of 200mM sodium acetate was
distributed to wells of a multi—well plate. 25pL of standard and 25uL of samples were
added to designated wells. SOuL of the working substrate stock was added to each well
and the plate was gently tapped to mix. The plate was sealed with ve film and
incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. The reaction was then terminated by addition of 50uL
of stop solution (1M Glycine pH 12.5). The plate was placed on a microplate reader
using a fluorescence bottom and the intensity was measured at an excitation 360nm and
an emission 460nm. The level of liberated 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) was measured
by comparison with standards of 4-MU at 0.25mM, 0.125mM, 0.0625mM, 0.0312mM,
0.0156mM, and 0.0078mM.
As depicted in Fig. 15, levels of the NaGlu activity in macrophages incubated
with 10ug/mL of rhNaGlu increased almost linearly over a 48 hour period: The u
uptake by macrophages was rather slow, but steady throughout the entire time period
measured. The relatively slow, extended uptake of NaGlu activity (as compared to other
lysosomal enzymes containing M6P and/or mannose in their ylation structures)
was unexpected and surprising. Equally surprising and unexpected was that a large
amount of rhNaGlu proteins was taken up into the hages over the extended time
period, resulting in intracellular tic ty levels at least 10, 50, 100, 200, 300,
500, or even 1,000—fold higher than the basal levels observed in wild-type macrophages
not exposed to rhNaGlu. The results demonstrate that rhNaGlu is ely stable in
extracellular as well as intracellular environments. Further, these results suggest that
rhNaGlu may s physicochemical characteristics that allow for longer serum half-
life (e.g., longer circulation) and high serum concentrations in vivo, properties which are
ideal for ed uptake into the central nervous system (CNS).

Administration of rhNaGlu into NaGlu deficient mice
Homozygous null mice were generated from breeding pairs of the strain
B6. 129$6-NaGlutm1Efn/J. Control wild—type mice were generated in the same manner.
Genotyping was performed according to a standard PCR protocol. It is bed in the
art that at birth, homozygous naglu(‘/') null mice are viable, normal in size, and do not
display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities, though they exhibited no NaGlu
in all s (see, Li et al., (1999) Proc., Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96:14505-14510). At one
month of age, vacuolated macrophages are found in most tissues. Epithelial cells in
kidney and neurons in some parts of the brain are also affected. The vacuolation
becomes more prominent with age. At 4-5 months, the mice show al behavior in
an open field test. Older animals may have urinary retention and difficulty walking.
Typical life span of the homozygous null nagla 4‘ mice is 8-12 months (see, Li et al.,
(1999) Proc., Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96:14505— 14510).
Intravenous (IV) stration
The intravenous administration of test article and vehicle by tail vein injection
was accomplished as follows. Before injection vasodilation was achieved by gently
warming the animal with an incandescent lamp or by soaking the tail in warm water,
approximately 43°C. The animal was then placed in restraint device. The e of the
tail was disinfected with 70% isopropanol prior to injection. The lateral veins of the tail
are located just under the skin and are fied in the distal part of the tail with the
application of tension. A 27G needle, bevel up, was inserted into the vein for 3 — 4 mm.
The test article or vehicle was then administered as a slow bolus injection over a period
of ten seconds as evidenced by the ed clearing of the vein as the stered
liquid momentarily occupies the vascular space. After removal of needle, gentle
pressure was applied to the puncture site to provide hemostasis. The animal was
monitored immediately ing procedure to assure normal activity.
Intrathecal (IT) administration
The hecal administration of test e and vehicle by lumbar puncture
injection was accomplished as follows. Before injection, animals were anesthetized
using isoflurane that was maintained via nose cone throughout the procedure. The site
of injection was prepared by shaving the fur, as necessary, prior to each injection. The
animal was placed in a prone on on a rm, ensuring the hind limbs were
straddling the platform forming a convex curve of the animals back. The surface of the
back was swabbed with 70% isopropanol and allowed to dry prior to injection. Spinal
column and hip bones were palpated to locate the L4-L5 or L5-L6 margin. A 30G
needle, bevel facing cranially, was inserted into the intervertebral space. Placement was
confirmed by the observation of a tail flick. The test article or vehicle was then
administered as bolus injection. The animal was d to recover from anesthesia and
monitored ately following procedure to assure normal activity and use of limbs.
Results
Twelve-week old naglu mice (B6.129S6-NaglumIEf”/J) were administered
rhNaGlu (Gallus) at dose levels of 6.75 or 27 mg/kg via tail vein injection (IV
administration), once every other day, for a total of 5 doses (at rhNaGlu concentrations
of 1.125, or 4.5 mg/mL, respectively). Similarly, twelve—week old naglu mice were
administered with rhNaGlu (Gaffus) at a dose level of 0.31 mg/kg via lumbar re
injection (IT administration), once every other day, for a total of 5 doses at NaGlu
concentrations of 1.54 mg/mL. Vehicle (10 mM phosphate buffer, 150 mM NaCl and
0.02% 0, pH 55-5.8) was administered to naglu '/' knock-out mice at the same
dose concentration for 5 doses every other day. Untreated wild-type and naglu knock-
out mice were also maintained for the duration of the study.
Animals were sacrificed 4 hours after the fifth and final injection. All animals
were necropsied and the liver, brain, spleen, heart, lung and kidneys were excised. Each
organ was divided sagittally, providing samples for both frozen (-80°C) and formalin-
fixed storage.
Tissue samples were analyzed for: (1) heparan sulfate concentration using an
analytical method based on SAX—HPLC analysis of heparan sulfate disaccharides; and
(2) a-N—acetylglucosaminidase enzyme activity using a cell-based enzyme activity assay.
Histopathologic tion of brain, liver, kidney, spleen, heart and lung tissue
was conducted using formalin—fixed tissue samples, embedded in paraffin, sectioned at 4
pm, mounted on glass slides and stained with xylin and eosin (H&E).
Following the repeated intravenous administration (5 doses over a 10 day period)
of rhNaglu (Gallus) to naglu'l' mice at dose levels of 6.25 and 27 mg/kg body weight,
there was an nt dose-dependent decrease in the concentration of Heparan Sulfate
in the brain, liver and kidney of l' mice (Table 5; Figs. . The relative 0t-N-
glucosaminidase activity was increased in the brain and liver following
intravenous administration (Table 6). These results were unexpected and surprising
because the NaGlu enzymatic activities and resulting substrate clearance were observed
in the brain of the d naglu'/' mice with the IV administration, suggesting that
rhNaGlu (Gallus) administered systemically was distributed to the brain of the naglu'/'
mice and effective to elicit cy even in the present of the blood brain barrier (BBB).
Following the intrathecal administration (5 doses over a 10 day period) of
rhNaGlu (Gallus) to naglu‘l‘ mice at a dose level of 0.31 mg/kg, there was a decrease in
the concentration of Heparan Sulfate in the brain of naglu'/' mice (Table 5; Fig. 19),
suggesting that rhNaGlu (Gallus) was targeted to the brain and effective in reducing the
accumulated ate in the brain of naglu‘/‘ mice.
