This disclosure provides compositions and methods for expressing and displaying isolated integral membrane proteins (IMPs) or fragments thereof in a native conformation for use in the screening, selecting, and identifying of antibodies or antibody-like molecules that bind to a target IMP of interest.

The present invention describes compositions and methods for priming protective immunity in the presence of pre-existing maternal antibody. In some embodiments, the invention contemplates simultaneously masking vaccines to avoid antibody neutralization while targeting those vaccines to specific cell types in order to elicit an enhanced immune response. In other embodiments, vectors that recruit and activate specific antigen-presenting cells may further enhance the efficacy of those immune responses.

The inventive technology relates to novel paratransgenic strategies for the biocontrol of pathogens in animal systems using interfering RNA molecules expressed in genetically modified bacteria that may be configured to colonize a target host. In one preferred embodiment, the invention includes novel paratransgenic strategies for the biocontrol of pathogens in aquatic organisms raised in aquaculture environments.

The present invention provides AAV capsid proteins comprising a modification in the amino acid sequence and virus vectors comprising the modified AAV capsid protein. The invention also provides methods of administering the virus vectors and virus capsids of the invention to a cell or to a subject in vivo.

The invention provides a gene sequence which can encode and express adenovirus hexon protein in vitro, and is represented as SEQ ID NO: 3. Also invented a protein which was translated and expressed by the gene sequence according to the invention, and the invention also relates to the use of the protein as an antigen to immunize rabbits to obtain a polyclonal antibody. The antibody mentioned above can detect adenovirus with high sensitivity and specificity.

This disclosure provides compositions and methods for expressing and displaying isolated integral membrane proteins (IMPs) or fragments thereof in a native conformation for use in the screening, selecting, and identifying of antibodies or antibody-like molecules that bind to a target IMP of interest.

The present invention is related to a method for identifying a parvovirus mutated structural protein capable of specifically binding to a binder for an antigen, a parvovirus mutated structural protein which comprises at least one B-cell epitope heterologous to the parvovirus, a multimerc structure comprising the protein, a nucleic acid encoding the protein, a virus or cell comprising the protein, a method of preparing the protein, a medicament comprising the protein, nucleic acid or multimeric structure and its use.

Provided are methods of treating a subject in need of treatment for a disease caused by a loss of function or activity of a protein. Also provided are methods of treating a subject in need of treatment for a disease caused by a gain of function, activity or expression, of a protein.

The present disclosure relates to an improved method of treating a patient with a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) by adjunctively administering to the patient via systemic administration a composition comprising at least one antibody or antigen-binding fragments thereof that is capable of neutralizing the non-systemically administered rAAV. The present disclosure further provides kits for the combination therapy.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for retargeting recombinant viral capsid proteins/capsids/vectors, e.g., in vivo, with a multispecific binding molecule, such as a bispecific antibody, that specifically binds a heterologous epitope displayed by the capsid protein and a protein expressed on the cell of interest for the targeted delivery of a nucleotide of interest.
