Definitions
- Monomeric IgM is the first antibody to emerge as the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) on the surface of B cells followed by secreted pentameric IgM from plasma cells.
- BCR B cell antigen receptor
- Class switching upon B cell activation generates different isotypes or subtypes of IgG, which constitute the most abundant, secreted class of antibodies (Engels N, et al. (2016) Immunol Rev. 283: 150-160). Due to the highly diverse BCR repertoire, recognition of self-antigens can sometimes lead to the generation of harmful IgG and IgM autoantibodies leading to autoimmune disease (Suurmond J, et al. (2015) J Clin Invest. 125:2194-2202).
- HLAs human leukocyte antigens expressed on the surface of cells in a transplanted organ
- HLAs human leukocyte antigens
- AAV recombinant adeno-associated viruses
- Another pathophysiological manifestation of autoantibodies in the context of autoimmune disease, organ transplantation or gene therapies is the activation of the complement cascade and lytic components thereof, which can lead to significant tissue damage (Goldberg BS, et al. (2020) Immunol Cell Biol. 98:305-317; Grafals M, et al. (2019) Front Immunol. 10:2380; West C, et al. (2023) Hum Gene Ther. 34:554-566; Smith CJ, et al. (2022) Front Immunol. 13:999-1021).

- the administration can be performed by one who performed the diagnosis.
- B lymphocytes As discussed herein, humoral immunity is mediated by circulating proteins called antibodies, which are produced by B lymphocytes.
- Antibodies exist either as membrane-bound antibodies on the surface of B lymphocytes that function as receptors for the antigen or as secreted antibodies that reside in the circulation, tissues, and mucosal sites to neutralize toxins, prevent the entry and spread of pathogens, and eliminate microbes.
- the activation of B lymphocytes is initiated by the specific recognition of antigens by the surface Ig receptors of these cells. Activation leads to proliferation of antigen-specific cells and their differentiation in cooperation with Th cells, generating memory B lymphocytes and antibody-secreting plasma cells.
- T-dependent antibody response' T-dependent antibody response'
- TDARs antibody responses to multivalent nonproteinic antigens with repeating determinants, such as polysaccharides, some lipids, and nucleic acids, do not involve antigen-specific helper T lymphocytes and are called ‘T-independent antibody responses.’
- TDARs plasma cells or their precursors migrate from germinal centers in the peripheral lymphoid organs, where they are produced, to the bone marrow, where they live for many years and ensure specific protection against microbes for long periods of time.
- immune response refers to the body’s response to foreign agents and infections organisms and includes (i) the body’s innate or non-specific immune system and (ii) the body's adaptive or specific immune system (including B cells, cytotoxic T cells, and helper T cells).
- body's adaptive or specific immune system including B cells, cytotoxic T cells, and helper T cells.
- ‘'primary and secondary antibody responses” to protein antigens differ qualitatively and quantitatively. Primary responses result from the activation of naive B lymphocytes that have not been previously stimulated by the antigen, whereas a secondary' immune response is elicited when the same antigen stimulates antigen-specific memory B lymphocytes.
- the main isotype is IgG instead of IgM, and antibody affinity is much greater.
- the various forms of antibodies (Ig) possess a number of effector functions to engage the antigen. Microbes, tumor cells, or foreign proteins can express several types of antigens and multiple copies of these antigens. If the microbial antigen to which an antibody is directed is associated with the toxic portion of a molecule, then the antibody can neutralize the toxin.
- neutralizing antibodies are frequently a problem in the therapeutic application of biotechnolog -derived recombinant proteins as neutralizing antibodies can become a rate-limiting step during preclinical testing because animals may perceive the recombinant protein, especially when humanized, as non-self.
- IgM and IgG can function to opsonize some microbes independent of complement activation in an antigen-dependent fashion because macrophages and neutrophils have receptors on their surface, which recognize the constant region of Ig (Fc receptors, FcRs).
- FcRs also play a maj or role in the ability' of IgG to participate in a process known as ‘antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity,’ whereby antigen-specific antibody attaches via FcRs to certain types of cells, including NK. cells, enabling these cells to attach intimately to the target cell and trigger cell death.
- FcRs are also the primary effector mechanism for IgE, which is the principal immune defense against certain types of parasitic infections (most notably, helminths) and is produced primarily by the external immune system along secretory surfaces. IgE binds to FcR on the surface of mast cells and basophils. Once bound to FcR, IgE can sen e as an antigen-specific receptor to trigger the release of proinflammatory factors, including vasoactive amines (e.g., histamine) and products of the arachidonic cascade (e.g., leucotrienes and prostaglandins). Systemic immunity is mediated by IgM and IgG, the latter being the major form of Ig found in the blood.
- vasoactive amines e.g., histamine
- arachidonic cascade e.g., leucotrienes and prostaglandins
- AD autoimmune disease
- IgA and IgE inflammatory bowel syndrome
- AD occurs when adaptive immune cells lose their ability to maintain self-tolerance of human cells. As a result, the immune system begins attacking healthy tissues as though they were infectious agents. Some ADs are organ-specific, whereas others can affect multiple parts of the body. Recurrent fever and chronic inflammation can be attributed to autoimmune disease. However, many possible symptoms are unique to AD, including hair loss, dry mouth, temperature sensitivity’, muscle weakness, reproductive issues, and more. A variety of conditions including environment, hormones, injury', infection, and genes can all play a role in initiating autoimmunity.
- AD Alzheimer's disease
- AIF Autoinflammatory
- diseases only involve the innate immune system. AIFs occur when innate immune cells are activated without an infection or injury being present. This mishap kickstarts the release of cytokines and other immune responses, causing fever and inflammation. Recurring episodes of high fever are the primary' symptom of AIF. Similar to some autoimmune diseases, autoinflammatory symptoms can be widespread, affecting the joints, gastrointestinal tract, skin, eyes, and internal organs.
- a "regulatory element” can refer to promoters, enhancers, internal ribosomal entry' sites (IRES), and other expression control elements (e.g., transcription termination signals, such as polyadenylation signals and poly-U sequences).
- Regulatory elements can include those that direct constitutive expression of a nucleotide sequence in many types of host cells and those that direct expression of the nucleotide sequence only in certain host cells (e.g., tissue-specific regulatory' sequences).
- inhibiting mean to diminish or decrease an activity, level, response, condition, severity, disease, or other biological parameter (such as the level of circulating IgG and/or circulating IgM or the level of surface-bound IgM on B cells). This can include, but is not limited to, the complete ablation of the activity', level, response, condition, severity', disease, or other biological parameter (such as the level of circulating IgG and/or IgM or the level of surface-bound IgM on B cells).
- the inhibition or reduction can be a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, or any amount of reduction in between as compared to native or control levels.
- the inhibition or reduction can be 10-20%, 20-30%, 30-40%, 40-50%, 50-60%, 60-70%, 70-80%, 80-90%, or 90-100% as compared to native or control levels.
- the inhibition or reduction can be 0-25%, 25-50%, 50-75%, or 75- 100% as compared to native or control levels.
- a native or control level can be a predisease or pre-disorder level.
- treat or “treating’’ or “treatment” include palliative treatment, that is, treatment designed for the relief of symptoms rather than the curing of the disease, pathological condition, or disorder; preventative treatment, that is, treatment directed to minimizing or partially or completely inhibiting the development of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder; and supportive treatment, that is, treatment employed to supplement another specific therapy directed toward the improvement of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder.

(See, for example, genomes .urv.es/ OPTIMIZER/) .
- a codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that encodes for a specific amino acid in the synthesis of a protein.

- Codon degeneracy leads to many possible ways of encoding a protein, e.g. a typical 375-amino acid protein in humans can be potentially encoded by 10207 different codon sequences. All possible encodings and resulting sequences are not equally likely to be observed in nature; however, as some synonymous codons are more frequently used than others in encoding a particular amino acid in a particular organism. This phenomenon is called ‘codon usage bias’ or ‘codon bias’.
- Leucine is encoded 39.5% of the time with codon CUG in Homo sapiens, whereas the same codon is used 11.1% of the same amino acid’s encoding in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Nakamura et al., 2000).
- immune tolerance refers to a state of unresponsiveness or blunted response of the immune system to substances (e.g., protein replacement therapy, enzyme replacement therapy, recombinant product, a transplanted organ, a vector protein, etc.) that have the capacity to elicit an immune response in a subject.

Immune tolerance can be determined in a subject by measuring antibodies against a particular antigen (such as, for example, to an HLA on a transplanted organ, an enzy me or therapeutic protein as part of replacement therapy, a viral vector, an AAV capsid protein).
- immune tolerance can be established by having IgG antibody titers of less than or equal to about 12,000, 11,500, 11,000. 10.500, 10,000, 9,500. 9,000, 8,500, 8,000, 7.500, 7,000, 6.500, or 6,000 following gene therapy (such as the administration of the transgene encoding, for example, a missing, deficient, and/or mutant protein or enzyme), protein replacement therapy, enzyme replacement therapy, or a recombinant product.
- antibodies can mitigate AAV infection through multiple mechanisms by binding to AAV capsids and blocking critical steps in transduction such as cell surface attachment and uptake, endosomal escape, productive trafficking to the nucleus, or uncoating as well as promoting AAV opsonization by phagocytic cells, thereby mediating their rapid clearance from the circulation.
