Erythrocytes as Carriers of Therapeutic Enzymes. [PDF]
Therapeutic enzymes are administered for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. They exert their effects through binding with a high affinity and specificity to disease-causing substrates to catalyze their conversion to a non-noxious product, to ...

Enzyme Replacement Therapy In Hypophosphatasia
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. The disease also imposes a high disease-burden in adult-onset HPP. Asfotase alfa (AA) is the first-in-class, bone-targeted, enzyme- replacement therapy designated to reverse the skeletal mineralisation defects in HPP.

Precocious puberty in patients with Pompe disease
IntroductionThe life expectancy of Pompe disease patients has increased due to improved neonatal screening and enzyme replacement therapy. Nevertheless, the potential effect of frequent medical device exposure on pubertal development in these patients is

Effect of asfotase alfa in the treatment of hypophosphatasia- A systematic review
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a life-threatening disease that occurs due to the mutation of the TNSALP (Tissue nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase) encoding gene. There is no approved treatment for Hypophosphatasia.

Persistent dyslipidemia in treatment of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency
Background Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LALD) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of lipid metabolism characterized by impaired lysosomal hydrolysis and consequent accumulation of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides.

Rapid Immunochromatographic Detection of Serum Anti-α-Galactosidase A Antibodies in Fabry Patients after Enzyme Replacement Therapy. [PDF]
We developed an immunochromatography-based assay for detecting antibodies against recombinant α-galactosidase A proteins in serum. The evaluation of 29 serum samples from Fabry patients, who had received enzyme replacement therapy with agalsidase alpha ...

Enzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher disease [PDF]
Four patients with moderately severe type I Gaucher disease were treated with commercially available mannose terminated glucocerebrosidase (Ceredase; Genzyme, Boston, MA) for up to 13 months. The enzyme was administered at the rate of three to four times weekly at one fourth the total recommended dosage, greatly decreasing the cost.

Engineering of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase for production of highly phosphorylated lysosomal enzymes for enzyme replacement therapy [PDF]
Several lysosomal enzymes currently used for enzyme replacement therapy in patients with lysosomal storage diseases contain very low levels of mannose 6-phosphate, limiting their uptake via mannose 6-phosphate receptors on the surface of the deficient ...
