The present disclosure generally relates to nucleic acid molecules for use in regulating gene expression. Disclosed herein include nucleic acid molecules containing one or more structural elements of the viral capsid enhancer operably linked to a coding sequence of a gene of interest. In some embodiments, the viral capsid enhancer comprises a Downstream Loop (DLP) from a viral capsid protein, or a variant of the DLP.

The present invention provides a new antibody against ECSA type Chikungunya virus, WA type Chikungunya virus, and Asian type Chikungunya virus or an antigen-binding fragment of the antibody. The antibody against Chikungunya virus or the antigen-binding fragment of the antibody of the present invention includes a heavy chain variable region or a heavy chain (1), (2), or (3) and a light chain variable region or a light chain (4).

Described herein are single-domain antibodies that might serve as alternatives to conventional monoclonal antibodies for either the detection or treatment of Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV).

A protease of the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) was found to act on a host substrate in addition to the viral substrate. It is contemplated that these findings could be employed to facilitate post-translational silencing at the level of protein (removal of existing proteins) as a protein analog to CRISPR/Cas9 and RNAi/RISC, and further to enable detection of viral infection.
