The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

A method for creating a plasmid for use in producing a chimeric antibody, comprising (a) receiving a FAB region of the antibody; (b) receiving a fluorescent protein; (c) receiving a linker having length of at least 5 amino acids; (d) using the Gibson assembly process to join the FAB region, the fluorescent protein, and the linker into an expression plasmid.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to constructs comprising one or more Ca.sub.v3.2 inhibitory polypeptide that blocks Ca.sub.v3.2 T-type calcium channel activity and nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron excitation. Also provided herein are methods for treating pain in a subject in need thereof. In particular, provided herein are methods comprising administering Ca.sub.v3.2 inhibitory peptide constructs to a dorsal root ganglion of the subject, whereby expression of the Ca.sub.v3.2 inhibitory polypeptides partially or fully inhibits Ca.sub.v3.2 T-type calcium channel activity in the DRG.

Provided herein are CRIS-PR/Cas9 complexes and methods of using same.

In order to develop tools and methods useful in a variety of applications, including the research and development of medical treatments which involve the modification of collagen protein and use of the same, the present invention provides a modified collagen protein expressed in a transformed cell and capable of forming collagen fibers outside of the cell, wherein the transformation is performed by introducing, into the cell, polynucleotides coding the modified collagen protein.

The present disclosure provides, inter alia, genetically encoded recombinant peptide biosensors comprising analyte-binding framework portions and signaling portions, wherein the signaling portions are present within the framework portions at sites or amino acid positions that undergo a conformational change upon interaction of the framework portion with an analyte.

Certain universal neoepitopes and cancer specific neoepitopes and methods therefor are presented that may be used in immunotherapy and cancer diagnosis. Preferred therapeutic and diagnostic compositions include antibodies or fragments thereof that bind to neoepitopes on cancer cells.

Novel Coronavirus/MERS-CoV/Influenza Virus A/B Multiple Rapid Detection Kit is disclosed. The kit has the advantages of high sensitivity, good specificity, high speed (3-15 minutes), simplicity and low cost.
