Anti-viral compounds and methods of using antiviral compounds are described. The compounds can be used in methods of reducing infection rate of a virus and in methods of treating a viral infection in a subject in need thereof. The virus can be a coronavirus, such as SARS-CoV-2.

Self-assembling, cytocompatible peptides having the ability to form uniform nanorod assemblies are described. These peptides comprise a self-assembling β-sheet peptide and an amino terminal positively charged amino acid or amino acid analog, such as a lysine residue. Constructs comprising an antigen covalently attached to the self-assembling peptide are also disclosed, as well as the use of such constructs as vaccines for inducing an immune response against the antigen.

Disclosed herein is a novel class of isolated binding molecules including monoclonal antibodies that targets a broadly conserved epitope within the marburgvirus species. Certain aspects provide an effective treatment option for hemorrhagic fever caused by marburgviruses.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treatment of coronavirus infections, comprising a delayed-release composition of niclosamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a method for preventing or treating coronavirus infections by using the same.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treatment of coronavirus infections, comprising a delayed-release composition of niclosamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a method for preventing or treating coronavirus infections by using the same.

The present disclosure provides in vitro modified cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) that comprise: a) a T-cell receptor (TCR) specific for a preselected antigen in a human; and b) a nucleic acid(s) encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for a cancer-associated antigen. The present disclosure provides methods of producing the modified CTLs. The present disclosure provides of treating cancer, comprising administering the modified CTLs to an individual in need thereof.

The present invention relates to a novel cocrystal, a pharmaceutical composition comprising same and a preparation method therefor. By using the cocrystal of the present invention, cancers, inflammatory diseases, or viral infection diseases may be effectively prevented and/or treated.

Disclosed are antigen binding polypeptides and antigen binding polypeptide complexes (e.g., antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof) having certain structural features. Also disclosed are polynucleotides and vectors encoding such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes; chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), cells, pharmaceutical compositions and kits containing such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes; and methods of using such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes.

Human monoclonal antibodies directed against B7-H1 and uses of these antibodies in diagnostics and for the treatment of diseases associated with the activity and/or expression of B7-H1 are disclosed. Additionally, hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such antibodies are disclosed.

The present invention is directed to compositions including the cytokines IL-18 and IL-22 or biologically active fragments or variants thereof. In some embodiments, the compositions further include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The compositions can farther include other interleukins such as IL-1β, and IL-1β can be used as a combination therapy with either IL-18 or IL-22 or biologically active fragments or variants thereof.
