An embodiment provides a method for treatment of a viral antigen for the COVID-19 virus, including: obtaining a body fluid from a patient; introducing the body fluid to at least one binding antibody, wherein the at least one binding antibody binds to an antigen of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein and comprises a conjugated metal; forming a viral antigen-antibody complex; and removing the viral antigen-antibody complex from the body fluid using a radiofrequency method; and returning the body fluid to the patient. Other aspects are described and claimed.

The present invention provides antibodies that neutralize MERS-CoV and methods of use thereof. The invented antibody is used to treat MERS-CoV infections and symptoms thereof.

The present invention provides antibodies that neutralize MERS-CoV and methods of use thereof. The invented antibody is used to treat MERS-CoV infections and symptoms thereof.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for manufacturing biologically-produced pharmaceutical products. Some of the systems described herein comprise an upstream component comprising a bioreactor and at least one filter (e.g., a filter probe) integrated with a downstream component comprising a purification module comprising at least a first partitioning unit and a second partitioning unit. In some embodiments; these integrated biomanufacturing systems may be operated under continuous or conditions and may be capable of efficiently producing pure, high-quality pharmaceutical products.

Methods and devices are provided herein for identifying a cell population comprising an effector cell that exerts an extracellular effect. In one embodiment the method comprises retaining in a microreactor a cell population comprising one or more effector cells, wherein the contents of the microreactor further comprise a readout particle population comprising one or more readout particles, incubating the cell population and the readout particle population within the microreactor, assaying the cell population for the presence of the extracellular effect, wherein the readout particle population or subpopulation thereof provides a direct or indirect readout of the extracellular effect, and determining, based on the results of the assaying step, whether one or more effector cells within the cell population exerts the extracellular effect on the readout particle. If an extracellular effect is measured, the cell population is recovered for further analysis to determine the cell or cells responsible for the effect.

The present invention includes a vaccine comprising a SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S) or portion thereof, and methods of use thereof.

Provided are multi-specific antigen binding molecules, including bispecific antibodies, that bind to CD3 and an HIV antigen, including HIV envelope protein gp120. Also provided are methods of using such antigen binding molecules to treat or prevent HIV infection.
