Provided herein are compositions, proteins, polynucleotides, expression vectors, host cells, kits, and systems for producing egg white proteins, as well as methods of using the same.

Provided herein are compositions with enhanced protein content, compositions with functional proteins, protein combinations and methods for the preparation thereof.

The present disclosure relates to an immunologically active peptide-biliverdin conjugate (I), a preparation method therefor and an application thereof in cancer diagnosis, and/or tumor immunotherapy, and/or tumor “photothermal immunotherapy” (tumor photothermal therapy combined with immunotherapy). The conjugate to which the present disclosure relates not only may stimulate an organism to generate a tumor-immune effect, but also may relieve and/or eliminate tumor inflammation, remodel a tumor inflammatory microenvironment and achieve photothermal cancer immunodiagnosis and immunotherapy. The conjugate to which the present disclosure relates has high biocompatibility, good stability and an extended half-life. The conjugate is prepared from an immunologically active peptide and biliverdin by means of chemical synthesis. A peptide end of the conjugate exercises the function of immunoregulation, and a pigment end thereof exercises functions such as tumor imaging diagnosis, tumor photo-thermal ablation, immune inflammatory microenvironment regulation and the like. The conjugate may significantly enhance the antitumor effect and effectively inhibit tumor metastasis and recurrence.
