The present invention relates to the field of tuberculosis vaccines, and specifically relates to a tuberculosis vaccine, a preparation method thereof, and a use thereof. To address the problem of existing vaccines being unsuitable for patients having weak immunity, the present invention provides a preparation method for a tuberculosis vaccine: first obtaining Mycobacterium single cell bacteria, and using low dosage radiation to irradiate periodically the Mycobacterium single cell bacteria, so as to obtain the tuberculosis vaccine. The present invention completely retains all of the antigen characteristics of the bacteria, and can more rapidly stimulate stronger specific immune responses, thereby achieving effective and long-lasting immunity. The vaccine prepared using the present invention has low toxicity, is rapid-acting and safer, and can be used for the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis for people having immunodeficiency.

The present invention encompasses an effervescent Grape extract plus selenium composition which improves stress response. The invention also encompasses methods of improving stress response, such as stress response to vaccination or weaning, by administration of the composition. The invention also encompasses methods of producing meat with improved quality by raising an animal on a diet supplemented with an effervescent Grape extract plus selenium composition.

In one aspect, the invention relates to a method suitable for administering protein therapeutic molecules orally, sublingually, topically, intravenously, subcutaneously, nasally, vaginally, rectally or by inhalation so as to avoid inactivation, by using VHH polypeptides derived from Camelidae antibodies. The invention further relates to the said therapeutic molecules. The invention further a method for delivering therapeutic molecules to the interior of cells. The invention further relates to anti-IgE therapeutic molecules. In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method wherein an immunoglobulin single variable domain (such as a Nanobody) and/or construct thereof are absorbed in pulmonary tissue. More particularly, the invention provides systemic delivery of an immunoglobulin single variable domain and/or construct thereof via the pulmonary route.

The present disclosure relates to TSLP binding proteins that interact with particular residues of human full length TSLP, or contact particular regions of human full length TSLP. The invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions and medical uses of these TSLP binding proteins.

Compositions comprising mRNA formulated for pulmonary administration and related methods for delivery of the mRNA and/or encoded protein to a non-lung cell or tissue. The compositions and methods may be used to prevent or ameliorate the symptoms of diseases associated with the mRNA encoded protein.

This invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations of therapeutic monoclonal antibody drugs and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of lung cancers including metastatic NSCLC by administration of such formulations using a soft mist inhaler and/or nebulizer. The pharmaceutical formulations comprise (a) a therapeutic monoclonal antibody selected from the group consisting of pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, nivolumab, durvalumab, and bevacizumab, (b) water, and (c) a buffer. The pharmaceutical formulations are delivered locally to the lungs by inhalation for treatment of cancer.

A method of treating pulmonary metastasis of osteosarcoma cells (pOSs) in a subject in need thereof includes administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that interferes with VCAM-1/α4β1 signaling between pOSs expressing VCAM-1 and pulmonary macrophages (MACs) expressing α4β1.

The present disclosure is directed to an aqueous therapeutic protein formulation including: (i) one or more therapeutic proteins, wherein the one or more therapeutic proteins include one or more anti-DNABII antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof in an amount ranging from 10 to 150 mg/mL; (ii) histidine buffer, (iii) NaCl, and (iv) an aqueous carrier, wherein a pH of the aqueous therapeutic formulation ranges from 5.5-8.0, and wherein the formulation is formulated for respiratory tract delivery and produces particles including the one or more therapeutic proteins upon aerosolization. Methods of generating an aerosol and treating biofilm-associated diseases or disorders, e.g., cystic fibrosis, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and acute exarcebations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or chronic bronchitis are also provided.

The present inventors discovered that antibodies having weaker antigen-binding activity at the early endosomal pH in comparison with that at the pH of plasma are capable of binding to multiple antigen molecules with a single antibody molecule, have long half-lives in plasma, and have improved durations of time in which they can bind to antigen.

A method and system for the treatment of Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus Kluk (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) to protect them from various life-threatening conditions, including the negative effects of various pesticides, provides Monarch butterflies with the ability to assimilate and degrade pesticides such as neonicotinoids and fipronil. Certain embodiments involve the inoculation of flowers by honey bees with desired bacteria that are able to degrade pesticides, such that when Monarch butterflies visit such flowers, they are exposed to such bacteria, transforming the microbiome of the Monarch butterflies so that pesticides can be degraded, thus enhancing the health of the Monarch butterflies.
