Fusion Protein Expressing Constructs
[0059] Nucleic acid constructs for expressing therapeutic protein fusions of the invention can be made recombinantly according to methods known in the art. For example, oligonucleotides complementary to genes encoding the different components described herein can be used to make synthetic genes or to amplify the natural genes and construct gene fusions. In preferred embodiments, proteins of the invention are expressed from a recombinant gene comprising a signal sequence. Examples of useful nucleic acids include nucleic acids that encode IGF targeting moieties of the invention. Such nucleic acids can be based on the sequences of IGF-1 shown in FIG. 4.

Expression and Purification Methods
[0060] Expression product can also be isolated from serum free media using other protozoa, including other Leishmania species. In general, the expression strain is grown in medium with serum, diluted into serum free medium, and allowed to grow for several generations, preferably 2-5 generations, before the expression product is isolated. For example, production of secreted recombinant LSD proteins can be isolated from Leishmania mexicana promastigotes that are cultured initially in 50 mL 1×M199 medium in a 75 cm2 flask at 27° C. When the cell density reaches 1-3×107 / mL, the culture is used to inoculate 1.2 L of M199 media. When the density of this culture reaches about 5×106 / mL, the cells were harvested by centrifugation, resuspended in 180 mL of the supernatant and used to inoculate 12 L of “Zima” medium in a 16 L spinner flask. The initial cell density of this culture is typically about 5×105 / mL. This culture is expanded to a cell density of abo...

Assays for Crossing the Blood Brain Barrier
[0063] According to the invention, a useful model system to determine whether a protein, particularly an LSD protein, tagged with an IGF tag crosses the blood-brain barrier, is the MPSVII mouse model (Wolfe and Sands (1996) Protocols for Gene Transfer in Neuroscience: Towards Gene Therapy of Neurological Disorders Chapter 20: 263-273). For example, recombinant human β-glucuronidase fused to an IGF tag can be produced in any convenient expression system such as Leishmania, yeast, mammalian, bacculovirus and other expression systems. L. mexicana expressing and secreting β-GUS is grown at 26° C. in 100 ml Standard Promastigote medium (M199 with 40 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.1 mM adenine, 0.0005% hemin, 0.0001% biotin, 5% fetal bovine serum, 5% embryonic fluid, 50 units / ml penicillin, 50 μg / ml streptomycin and 50μg / ml nourseothricin). After reaching a density of approximately 5×106 promastigotes / ml, the promastigotes is collected by centrifugation fo...
