Abstract HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is drug-resistant and responsible for viral persistence. To facilitate the development of anti-cccDNA drugs, we developed a minicircle vector (MC)-based technology to produce large quantity recombined cccDNA (rcccDNA) resembling closely its wild-type counterpart both in structure function. The rcccDNA differed (wtcccDNA) only that it carried an extra 36-bp recombinant product attR upstream preC/C gene. Using procedure similar standard...

Minicircle DNA (mcDNA) is a kind of enhanced nonviral vector with excellent profiles in biosafety and transgene expression. Herein, we reported novel amphiphilic polymer comprising polyethylenimine(PEI) modified Poly(β-amino ester) PEI–PBAE(C16) for efficient mcDNA delivery vivo. The synthesized could condense into nanoscaled structure exhibited gene transfection ability without detectable cytotoxicity. Importantly, when injected mouse intraperitoneally, these nanocomplexes were able to...

DNA vectors for human gene therapy have to meet the efficacy and safety requirements. Minicircles (MCs), a class of optimized free plasmid backbone (PB) DNAs, emerged as promising candidates because their superior transgene expression profiles. However, existence impure including unrecombined MC producing (PP) PB circle, in products made using current technologies exceed limit. Here, we report development an enhanced triplex (TriD) technology eliminate almost all DNAs from products. To do...

Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are a class of promising anticancer immunotherapies. Among them, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved blinatumomab (BLI) is very effective in eliminating minimum residual disease (MRD) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), resulting long-term remission many individuals. However, need for months-long intravenous delivery high cost limit its clinical acceptance. Here we demonstrate that these problems can be solved by BsAb expressed one intramuscular...

Breakthroughs have been achieved in cancer immunotherapies recently. Some patients experienced a durable remission or even cure by the treatments activating patients' own T cells. However, these single target technologies failed to result any therapeutic effect large percent of patients, and evidence suggests that further advances depend on effective strategy for coping with heterogeneity dynamics. We hypothesize minicircles, class optimized DNA vectors, are able cope problems; is apply...
