The invention concerns a modified enveloped virus wherein said virus has at least one anti-tumor, tumor-specific peptide non-genetically attached to or inserted in/through the viral envelope; a pharmaceutical composition comprising same; and a method of treating cancer using same.

The present invention relates to a novel process of production of purified recombinant cholera toxin B (rCTB) which provides protection against diarrhea caused by various bacteria such as Vibrio cholerae and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). More particularly, the present invention relates to a process of production of rCTB with significantly higher yield and higher purity. The present invention also relates to a vaccine formulation having synergistic protection against Vibrio cholerae and cross protection against ETEC.

The present disclosure relates to the field of biotechnology, and more specifically, to single-chain and multi-chain chimeric polypeptides having a linker domain positioned between two target-binding domains that are useful for a variety of applications including, without limitation, stimulating an immune cell, inducing or increasing proliferation of an immune cell, inducing differentiation of an immune cell, or treating a subject in need thereof (e.g., a subject having cancer or an aging-related disease or condition).

The invention relates to methods, uses, systems, arrays, engineered nucleotide sequences and vectors for inhibiting bacterial population growth or for altering the relative ratio of sub-populations of first and second bacteria in a mixed population of bacteria. The invention is particularly useful, for example, for treatment of microbes such as for environmental, medical, food and beverage use. The invention relates inter alia to methods of controlling microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) or biofouling of a substrate or fluid in an industrial or domestic system.

Genetically engineered bacteria, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of modulating and treating disorders associated with hyperammonemia are disclosed.

Disclosed are insecticidal compositions and associated methods that comprise an insecticide, C.sub.2-4 alkylene carbonate, C.sub.2-6 polyalkylene glycol, and a block co-polymer of C.sub.2-5 polyalkylene glycol and C.sub.3-6 polyalkylene glycol.

Signal sequences useful for targeting proteins and peptides to the surface of endospores produced by Paenibacillus family members and methods of using the same are provided. The display of heterologous molecules, such as peptides, polypeptides and other recombinant constructs, on the spore surface of Paenibacillus family members, using particular N-terminal targeting sequences and derivatives of the same, are also provided.
