Treatments using transgenic goat produced antithrombin III
View Patent ↗This invention relates to transgenically produced human Antithrombin III (tgATIII). The human ATIII produced by the transgenic process of the present invention has a monosaccharide composition which comprises N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) along with fucose, N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, mannose, and N-acetylneuraminic acid/N-glycolyneuraminic acid. The monosaccharide composition differs with that of plasma derived ATIII (phATIII). It has been found that tgATIII has an increased clearance rate when compared to phATIII.
1. A method of treating a subject having an ATIII deficiency or inflammation, comprising:
administering to the subject goat mammary gland produced antithrombin III having a monosaccharide composition which comprises a higher level of mannose than plasma derived antithrombin III, wherein thrombin is inhibited.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mammary gland produced antithrombin III further has a monosaccharide composition which comprises fucose.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mammary gland produced antithrombin III further has a monosaccharide composition which comprises GalNAc.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mammary gland produced antithrombin III is produced in the mammary glands of a transgenic goat.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ATIII deficiency is hereditary ATIII deficiency.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ATIII deficiency is acquired ATIII deficiency.
7. A method of treating inflammation in a subject, comprising:
administering to the subject a Moat mammary gland produced antithrombin III having a monosaccharide composition which comprises a higher level of mannose than plasma derived antithrombin III, wherein thrombin is inhibited.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mammary gland produced antithrombin III further has a monosaccharide composition which comprises fucose.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mammary gland produced antithrombin III further has a monosaccharide composition which comprises GaINAc.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mammary gland produced antithrombin III is produced in the mammary glands of a transgenic goat.
