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).

Provided herein is a method for multiplexed detection of a plurality of targets, including targets associated with a measles (M) virus and a rubella (R) virus, including a M vaccine, a R vaccine, or a MR vaccine. A plurality of capture agents specific to a measles target and a rubella target are provided on a substrate, wherein the capture agents specifically bind to the measles target and the rubella target. Contacting the plurality of capture agents with a sample forms a capture agent-target complex which can be detected by a corresponding spatial pattern of capture agent-target complex.

Provided herein are, inter alia, antibodies, antigen-binding antibody fragments, cells, polynucleotides, compositions, kits, and methods relating to the detection of HBV protein X (HBx), e.g., in vitro and in vivo. Included are antibodies and fragments thereof that bind HBx, as well as kits, cells, and compositions comprising such antibodies and fragments.

Disclosed is a synthetic T cell receptor (TCR) having antigenic specificity for an HLA-A2-restricted epitope of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E7, E7.sub.11-19. Related polypeptides and proteins, as well as related nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, and populations of cells are also provided. Antibodies, or an antigen binding portion thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions relating to the TCRs of the invention are also provided. Also disclosed are methods of detecting the presence of a condition in a mammal and methods of treating or preventing a condition in a mammal, wherein the condition is cancer, HPV 16 infection, or HPV-positive premalignancy.

A new sensitive cell biomarker of solid tumors and viral infection is identified in blood. This biomarker can be used to determine presence of carcinomas, sarcomas, and viruses, rapid determination of treatment response, early detection of cancer, early detection of cancer recurrence, and may be used to determine therapy.

Provided are methods for detecting a target molecule or particle suspected to be present in a sample, comprising (a) contacting the sample with (i) a fusion molecule comprising a ligand capable of binding to the target molecule or particle and a binding domain, and (ii) a polymer scaffold comprising at least one binding motif to which the binding domain is capable of binding, under conditions that allow the target molecule or particle to bind to the ligand and the binding domain to bind to the binding motif; (b) loading the polymer into a device comprising a pore that separates an interior space of the device into two volumes, and configuring the device to pass the polymer through the pore from one volume to the other volume, wherein the device further comprises a sensor adjacent to the pore configured to identify objects passing through the pore; and (c) determining, with the sensor, whether the fusion molecule or particle bound to the binding motif is bound to the target molecule or particle, thereby detecting the presence of the target molecule or particle in the sample.

The present invention provides compositions and methods that can be used to determine a peptide signature for an antibody repertoire in a sample comprising multiple antibodies. The method can be used to characterize a phenotype in a sample, such as providing a diagnosis, prognosis or theranosis of a medical condition.

A composition of matter comprising an isolated soluble polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of a Transferrin receptor protein 1 (TfR1) apical domain is disclosed, the soluble polypeptide being capable of binding an Arenavirus. A fusion protein comprising an amino acid sequence of a TfR1 apical domain and an amino acid sequence of IgG Fc, the fusion protein capable of binding an Arenavirus, is also disclosed.

A method of determining an infection type in a subject is disclosed. The method comprises measuring the concentration of a first determinant selected from the group consisting of the determinants which are set forth in Table 1 and a second determinant selected from the group of the determinants which are set forth in Table 2 in a subject derived sample, wherein the concentration is indicative of the infection type.

Methods for the rapid detection of the presence or absence of BK virus in a biological or non-biological sample are described. The methods can include performing an amplifying step, a hybridizing step, and a detecting step. Furthermore, primers and probes targeting BK virus and kits are provided that are designed for the detection of BK virus.
