Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to non-immunogenic RNA. This RNA forms the basis for the development of therapeutic agents for inducing tolerance towards an autoantigen and thus, for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating an autoimmune disease in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising a non-immunogenic RNA encoding a peptide or polypeptide comprising an autoantigen or a fragment thereof, or a variant of the autoantigen or fragment, wherein the non-immunogenic RNA comprises 1-methyl-pseudouridine, wherein the non-immunogenic RNA is formulated in a F12 liposome, and wherein the composition does not comprise dsRNA. 2. A method of inducing tolerance to autoreactive T cells in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising a non-immunogenic RNA encoding a peptide or polypeptide comprising an autoantigen or a fragment thereof, or a variant of the autoantigen or fragment, wherein the non-immunogenic RNA comprises 1-methyl-pseudouridine, wherein the non-immunogenic RNA is formulated in a F12 liposome, and wherein the composition does not comprise dsRNA. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the subject has an autoimmune disease. 4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the non-immunogenic RNA when administered does not result in activation of dendritic cells, activation of T cells and/or secretion of IFN-alpha. 5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the non-immunogenic RNA is mRNA or in vitro transcribed RNA. 6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the autoantigen is a T cell-antigen, CNS-derived, a myelin antigen, or Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG). 7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the peptide or polypeptide comprising an autoantigen or a fragment thereof, or a variant of the autoantigen or fragment comprises amino acids 35 to 55 of Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG). 8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the non-immunogenic RNA is formulated in a delivery vehicle.
