Disclosed are methods, systems, components, and compositions for cell-free synthesis of glycosylated proteins. The glycosylated proteins may be utilized in vaccines, including anti-bacterial vaccines. The glycosylated proteins may include a bacterial polysaccharide conjugated to a carrier, which may be utilized to generate an immune response in an immunized host against the polysaccharide conjugated to the carrier. The glycosylated proteins may be synthesized in cell-free glycoprotein synthesis (CFGpS) systems using prokaryote cell lysates that are enriched in components for glycoprotein synthesis such as oligosaccharyltransferases (OSTs) and lipid-linked oligosaccharides (LLOs) including OSTs and LLOs associated with synthesis of bacterial O antigens.

Provided is an antibody for treating a cancer, more specifically, an anti-CD43 antibody binding to an extracellular domain of CD43, compositions for treating a cancer or inhibiting a cancer stem cell comprising the antibody as an active ingredient, and methods for screening an agent of inhibiting a cancer stem cell.

A composition for use in the treatment and/or prevention of adverse side effects induced by an anti-cancer compound, said composition comprising an aqueous liquid extract, the aqueous liquid extract comprising Phycocyanin. The present invention also relates to the use of this aqueous liquid extract comprising Phycocyanin and optionally Spirulina polysaccharides, for the treatment and/or prevention of adverse side effects induced by an anti-cancer compound.

Indeed, Phycocyanin, thanks to its antioxidant effects, can reduce the undesirable side effects induced by an anti-cancer compound.

Provided herein are compositions comprising a DR6 peptide; and methods for treating cancer and/or a tumor, including a platinum drug resistant tumor or cancer, in a patient in need thereof.

Provided is a polypeptide containing the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and the present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine. The polypeptide can inhibit the infection with novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV (SARS-CoV-2) and SARS-like viruses, and can thus provide good candidate drugs for the prevention and treatment of 2019-nCoV and SARS-like viruses which may break out in the future. Further provided is a polypeptide derivative having palmic acid or cholesterol modifications.

Provided herein are genetically modified microbes. In one embodiment, a genetically modified microbe includes an exogenous polynucleotide that includes a pheromone-responsive region. In one embodiment, the pheromone-responsive region is derived from a conjugative plasmid from a member of the genus Enterococcus spp. The pheromone-responsive region includes a pheromone-responsive promoter and an operably linked coding region encoding an antimicrobial peptide. In one embodiment, a genetically modified microbe includes an exogenous polynucleotide that includes a promoter and an operably linked coding sequence encoding an antimicrobial peptide, where expression of the coding region is controlled by a modulator polypeptide and is altered by a modulating agent, and where the coding region encodes an antimicrobial peptide.
