Method of treating, reducing, or alleviating a medical condition in a patient
A method of treating, reducing, or alleviating a medical condition in a patient is disclosed herein. The method includes administering to a patient in need thereof a biocompatible drug comprising one or more antiviral medications together with one or more cell pathway inhibitors, the patient having at least one of a respiratory tract inflammatory disease, a central nervous system inflammatory disease, and vasculitis. The one or more antiviral medications preventing an attachment of viruses to cell walls, blocking a penetration of the viruses into cells, and/or inhibiting virus replication by damaging nucleic acids of the viruses. The one or more cell pathway inhibitors blocking an inflammatory response of inflamed tissue without inhibiting an immune response of the patient.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING HUMAN POLYCLONAL ANTIBODIES
The disclosure provides compositions and methods for generating polyclonal antibodies, for example, using circular polyribonucleotides and non-human animals having humanized immune systems.

DNA ANTIBODY CONSTRUCTS FOR USE AGAINST HEPATITIS B VIRUS
Disclosed herein is a composition including a recombinant nucleic acid sequence that encodes an antibody to a Hepatitis B viral antigen. Also disclosed herein is a method of generating a synthetic antibody in a subject by administering the composition to the subject. The disclosure also provides a method of preventing and/or treating a Hepatitis B virus infection in a subject using said composition and method of generation.
Anti-Varicella-Zoster Virus Antibody
The present invention relates to neutralizing monoclonal antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that are specific for and bind with high affinity to Varicella-Zoster Virus, and a preparation method for producing such antibodies. The antibodies of the present invention have high efficiency in neutralizing Varicella-Zoster Virus infection. The present invention also relates to the epitope to which the antibodies bind and the use of the antibodies in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of infected individuals.
ANTI-BK VIRUS ANTIBODY MOLECULES
Anti-BK virus antibody molecules or binding fragments thereof are disclosed. These Anti-BK virus antibody molecules or binding fragments can be used in the treatment or prevention of BK virus infection and/or BK virus associated disorder.
ACE2-Targeted Compositions and Methods for Treating COVID-19
This invention provides a monoclonal antibody that (i) specifically binds to the extracellular portion of human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (hACE2); (ii) specifically inhibits binding of SARS-CoV-2 to the extracellular portion of hACE2; and (iii) does not significantly inhibit the ability of hACE2 to cleave angiotensin II and/or a synthetic MCA-based peptide. This invention also provides related recombinant AAV vectors, recombinant AAV particles, compositions, prophylactic and therapeutic methods, and kits.
CANINE PARVOVIRUS (CPV) NANOBODY CPV-VHH-H1 AND USE THEREOF
The present disclosure provides a canine parvovirus (CPV) nanobody CPV-VHH-H1 and use thereof, belonging to the technical field of immunology. A heavy-chain variable region sequence of the nanobody CPV-VHH-H1 has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1; and a gene encoding the nanobody CPV-VPP-H1 has the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2. In the present disclosure, a nanobody immune library of the CPV is constructed by a phage display technology, a specific anti-CPV nanobody CPV-VHH-H1 is obtained by screening, and it is verified by experiments that the nanobody may specifically bind to the CPV. The present disclosure is expected to develop a new nanobody preparation for use in clinical diagnosis and treatment of the CPV, and provides a certain theoretical reserve for applying the nanobody to the field of veterinary biological products.
Methods for evaluating viral receptor/co-receptor usage and inhibitors of virus entry using recombinant virus assays
Provided are methods for identifying whether a compound inhibits entry of a virus into a cell. The method may include obtaining nucleic acid encoding a viral envelope protein from a patient infected by the virus and co-transfecting it into a first cell along with a viral expression vector which lacks a nucleic acid encoding the envelope protein. The method may further include contacting the viral particles produced by the first cell with a second cell to which the virus binds in the absence and presence of the compound and measuring the amount of signal produced by the second cell.
MASK PEPTIDES AND MASKED ANTI-PTK7 ANTIBODIES COMPRISING SUCH
Mask peptides for use in producing masked antibodies specific to tyrosine-protein kinase-like 7 (PTK7). Also provided herein are masked anti-PTK7 antibodies comprising the mask peptide and therapeutic uses thereof.
