Abstract

This invention provides compositions of active highly phosphorylated lysosomal sulfatase enzymes, their pharmaceutical compositions, methods of producing and purifying such lysosomal sulfatase enzymes and compositions and their use in the diagnosis, prophylaxis, or treatment of diseases and conditions, including particularly lysosomal storage diseases that are caused by, or associated with, a deficiency in the lysosomal sulfatase enzyme.

Claims (1)

1. A method of treating a human subject suffering from Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) comprising administering to the subject in need of said lysosomal sulfatase enzyme an effective amount of said lysosomal sulfatase enzyme, wherein said lysosomal sulfatase enzyme is a recombinant human arylsulfatase A (ARSA) enzyme comprising at least 0.5 bis-phosphorylated oligomannose chains per protein chain and is produced by a CHO-derived END3 complementation group cell.
