Improved Potency of Hyperactive and Actin-resistant Human DNase I Variants for Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
The ability of recombinant human DNase I (DNase I) to degrade DNA to lower molecular weight fragments is the basis for its therapeutic use in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and its potential use as a treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To increase the potency of human DNase I, we have generated and characterized three classes of mutants: (a) hyperactive variants, which have from one to six additional...
