    Notes: Humicola lanuginosa lipase (HIL) and Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RrnL), isolated from commercial preparations of Lipolase and Lipozyme, respectively, were solubilized in AOT-stabilized water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions in n-heptane and aspects of their hydrolysis and condensation activity examined. The temperature dependence of HIL hydrolysis activity in unbuffered R = 10 microemulsions matched very closely that for tributyrin hydrolysis by Lipolase in an aqueous emulsion assay. Apparent activation energies were measured as 13 ± 2 and 15 ± 2 kJ mol / respectively. Condensation activity, however, was essentially independent of temperature over the range 5° to 37°C. The stability of HIL over a 30-day period was very good at all pH levels (6.1, 7.2, 9.3) and R values studied (5, 7.5, 10, 20), except when high pHs and low R values were combined. The excellent stability was reflected by the linearity of the productivity profiles which facilitate system optimization. The temperature dependence of RmL hydrolysis activity toward pNPC4 showed a maximum at 40°C and an apparent Eact = 20 ± 2 kJ mol-1 was calculated based on the linear region of the profile (5° to 40°C). RmL esterification activity showed only a slight dependence on temperature over the studied range (0° to 40°C) and an apparent Eact = 5 ± 1 kJ mol-1 was measured for octyl decanoate synthesis. Both RmL and HIL, therefore, have potential for application in low temperature biotransformations in microemulsion-based media. The stability of RmL over a 30-day period was good in R = 7.5 and R = 10 microemulsions containing pH 6.1 buffer, and this was reflected in the linearity of their respective productivity profiles. RmL stability was markedly poorer at more alkaline pH, however, and proved to be sensitive to relatively small changes in the R value. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Although widely used in experimental and industrial situations, genetically engineered plasmids containing the lac promoter from Escherichia coli are subject to catabolite repression when grown in glucose-containing media. Several methods of overcoming this problem have been investigated by studying the expression of the protein A gene from Staphylococcus aureus under the control of the Escherichia coli lac promoter. When glycerol is used as a sole carbon source, the plasmid is unstable and is rapidly lost from the culture. When the bacteria are grown in chemostats under glucose limitation, the plasmid is maintained, even at high dilution rates, and the expression of protein A is similar to that observed when glycerol was used. The balance between metabolic load and protein A expression seems to be maintained by reducing the gene dose to a tolerable level. Depending on the metabolic conditions prevailing in the culture, this is achieved, either by reducing the copy number of the plasmid or in extreme cases by removing the plasmid altogether.

    Notes: Lipolase and Lipozyme are produced in large quantities (as a result of genetic engineering and overexpression) for the detergents market and provide a cheap source of highly active biocatalysts. Humicola lanuginosa lipase (HIL) and Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RmL) have been isolated in partially purified form from commercial preparations of Lipolase and Lipozyme, respectively. These lipases were solubilized in Aerosol-OT (AOT)-stabilized water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions in n-heptane. HIL and RmL activity in these microemulsions was assayed by spectrophotometric measurement of the initial rate of p-nitophenyl butyrate hydrolysis, and by chromatographic determination of the initial rate of octyl decanoate synthesis from 1-octanol and decanoic acid. The hydrolytic activity of HIL in microemulsions measured as a function of buffer pH prior to dispersal, followed a sigmoidal profile with the highest activities observed at alkaline pHs. This broadly matches the pH-activity profile for tributyrin hydrolysis by Lipolase in an aqueous emulsion assay. The hydrolytic activity of RmL in the same microemulsions, measured as a function of pH, gave a bell-shaped profile with a maximum activity at pH 7.5. Again, the observed pH-activity profile was similar to that reported for a purified RmL in a tributyrin-based aqueous emulsion assay. In contrast, the esterification activity exhibited by both HIL and RmL in AOT microemulsions over the available range pH 6.1 to 10.4, decreases as the pH increases, most likely reflecting the effect of substrate ionization. The dependence of the hydrolytic and condensation activity of HIL on R, the mole ratio of water to surfactant, were similar with both profiles exhibiting a maximum at R = 5. The hydrolytic and esterification activities of RmL followed similar R-dependent profiles, but the profiles in this case exhibited a maximum at R = 10. The water activities at these R values were directly measured as 0.78 and 0.9, respectively. Measured water activities were unperturbed by the presence of lipase at the concentrations used in these studies. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Combining membrane technology with biological reactors for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters has led to the development of three generic membrane processes within bioreactors: for separation and recycle of solids; for bubbleless aeration of the bioreactor; and for extraction of priority organic pollutants from hostile industrial wastewaters. Commercial aerobic and anaerobic membrane separation bioreactors already provide a small footprint alternative to conventional biological treatment methods, producing a high-quality effluent at high organic loading rates. Both the bubbleless aeration and extractive membrane bioreactors are in the development stages. The former uses gas-permeable membranes to improve the mass transfer of oxygen to the bioreactor by providing bubbleless oxygen. By using a silicone membrane process, extractive membrane bioreactors transfer organic pollutants from chemically hostile wastewaters to a nutrient medium for subsequent biodegradation. All three membrane bioreactor (MBR) processes are comparatively and critically reviewed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Description: The efficacy and safety of biological molecules in cancer therapy, such as peptides and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), could be markedly increased if high concentrations could be achieved and amplified selectively in tumour tissues versus normal tissues after intravenous administration. This has not been achievable so far in humans. We hypothesized that a poxvirus, which evolved for blood-borne systemic spread in mammals, could be engineered for cancer-selective replication and used as a vehicle for the intravenous delivery and expression of transgenes in tumours. JX-594 is an oncolytic poxvirus engineered for replication, transgene expression and amplification in cancer cells harbouring activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/Ras pathway, followed by cell lysis and anticancer immunity. Here we show in a clinical trial that JX-594 selectively infects, replicates and expresses transgene products in cancer tissue after intravenous infusion, in a dose-related fashion. Normal tissues were not affected clinically. This platform technology opens up the possibility of multifunctional products that selectively express high concentrations of several complementary therapeutic and imaging molecules in metastatic solid tumours in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Breitbach, Caroline J -- Burke, James -- Jonker, Derek -- Stephenson, Joe -- Haas, Andrew R -- Chow, Laura Q M -- Nieva, Jorge -- Hwang, Tae-Ho -- Moon, Anne -- Patt, Richard -- Pelusio, Adina -- Le Boeuf, Fabrice -- Burns, Joe -- Evgin, Laura -- De Silva, Naomi -- Cvancic, Sara -- Robertson, Terri -- Je, Ji-Eun -- Lee, Yeon-Sook -- Parato, Kelley -- Diallo, Jean-Simon -- Fenster, Aaron -- Daneshmand, Manijeh -- Bell, John C -- Kirn, David H -- Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- England -- Nature. 2011 Aug 31;477(7362):99-102. doi: 10.1038/nature10358.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Jennerex Inc., 450 Sansome Street, 16th floor, San Francisco, California 94111, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21886163" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-specific monoclonal antibodies with extraordinary potency and breadth have recently been described. In humanized mice, combinations of monoclonal antibodies have been shown to suppress viraemia, but the therapeutic potential of these monoclonal antibodies has not yet been evaluated in primates with an intact immune system. Here we show that administration of a cocktail of HIV-1-specific monoclonal antibodies, as well as the single glycan-dependent monoclonal antibody PGT121, resulted in a rapid and precipitous decline of plasma viraemia to undetectable levels in rhesus monkeys chronically infected with the pathogenic simian-human immunodeficiency virus SHIV-SF162P3. A single monoclonal antibody infusion afforded up to a 3.1 log decline of plasma viral RNA in 7 days and also reduced proviral DNA in peripheral blood, gastrointestinal mucosa and lymph nodes without the development of viral resistance. Moreover, after monoclonal antibody administration, host Gag-specific T-lymphocyte responses showed improved functionality. Virus rebounded in most animals after a median of 56 days when serum monoclonal antibody titres had declined to undetectable levels, although, notably, a subset of animals maintained long-term virological control in the absence of further monoclonal antibody infusions. These data demonstrate a profound therapeutic effect of potent neutralizing HIV-1-specific monoclonal antibodies in SHIV-infected rhesus monkeys as well as an impact on host immune responses. Our findings strongly encourage the investigation of monoclonal antibody therapy for HIV-1 in humans.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4017780/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4017780/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barouch, Dan H -- Whitney, James B -- Moldt, Brian -- Klein, Florian -- Oliveira, Thiago Y -- Liu, Jinyan -- Stephenson, Kathryn E -- Chang, Hui-Wen -- Shekhar, Karthik -- Gupta, Sanjana -- Nkolola, Joseph P -- Seaman, Michael S -- Smith, Kaitlin M -- Borducchi, Erica N -- Cabral, Crystal -- Smith, Jeffrey Y -- Blackmore, Stephen -- Sanisetty, Srisowmya -- Perry, James R -- Beck, Matthew -- Lewis, Mark G -- Rinaldi, William -- Chakraborty, Arup K -- Poignard, Pascal -- Nussenzweig, Michel C -- Burton, Dennis R -- AI055332/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI060354/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI078526/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI084794/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI095985/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI096040/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI100148/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI10063/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI100663/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI100148/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P40 OD012217/OD/NIH HHS/ -- P51 RR000168/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI084794/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI055332/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R56 AI091514/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007387/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI066305/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI078526/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI095985/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI096040/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- UM1 AI100663/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Nov 14;503(7475):224-8. doi: 10.1038/nature12744.
