Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention relates to recombinant CTLA-4 proteins, e.g., soluble CTLA-4 or CTLA-4 fusion toxins, and methods for making and using them.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A fusion toxin comprising: a first part comprising a cytotoxic protein, and a second part comprising a non-N-glycosylated human Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4 (CTLA4) comprising amino acids 39-152 of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein (i) the amino acid at position 113 is not Asparagine (N), and the amino acid at position 115 is neither Threonine (T) nor Serine (S); and (ii) the amino acid at position 145 is not Asparagine (N), and the amino acid at position 147 is neither Threonine (T) nor Serine (S). 2. The fusion toxin of claim 1 , wherein the cytotoxic protein comprises diphtheria toxin, Pseudomonas exotoxin, or portions or variants thereof. 3. The fusion toxin of claim 1 , further comprising a third part comprising a non-N-glycosylated human Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4 (CTLA4). 4. The fusion toxin of claim 1 , further comprising a linker between the first and second parts. 5. A method of treating a subject who has an autoimmune disease, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of the fusion toxin of claim 1 . 6. A method of treating transplant rejection a subject who has undergone or will undergo an organ transplantation procedure, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of the fusion toxin of claim 1 . 7. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the fusion toxin of claim 1 and a physiologically acceptable carrier.
