NOVEL METHODS OF GENERATING ANTIBODIES
The invention describes a method of generating antibodies to a mixture of peptidogenic proteins wherein the peptidogenic protein has altered conformational dynamics as compared to a starting protein and wherein the peptidogenic protein has a similar conformation to the starting protein. The peptidogenic proteins can be used to induce an immune response, which can lead to the generation of antibodies and/or can be used to vaccinate a mammal.
MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND COCKTAILS FOR TREATMENT OF EBOLA INFECTIONS
Described herein are compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of ebolavirus infection. In certain embodiments of the present invention, monoclonal antibodies substantially similar to those described herein, as well as affinity matured variants thereof, alone or in combination, provide therapeutic efficacy in a patient against multiple species of ebolavirus.

Production of seleno-biologics in genomically recoded organisms
Polypeptides that fold into biologies are stabilized by diselenide bonds between selenocysteine amino acids. Methods to produce such polypeptides in genomically recoded organisms (GRO) can be scaled up for industrial production. Since diselenides have the same geometric bond angles and torsions as disulfides, as well as very similar bond lengths, they can be substituted into polypeptides without disrupting the three dimensional structure of the polypeptides. Diselenides render the polypeptides resistant to reduction when they are exposed to blood serum or to reducing components of blood serum or to reducing components components within cells.
Formulations for enteric delivery of therapeutic agents
Formulations containing pH-sensitive nanoparticles for the enteric delivery of therapeutic agents are provided. The nanoparticles include a pH-sensitive polymer that protects the therapeutic agent against degradation in the stomach and allows it to be released in the small intestine or colon. The nanoparticle formulation is particularly effective at protecting sensitive biotherapeutic agents from degradation when administered orally, and makes it possible to avoid administration of such agents by injection. Also provided are methods for producing the formulations, as well as methods of treating diseases employing the formulations.
Broadly neutralizing anti-HIV-1 antibodies that bind to an N-glycan epitope on the envelope
This invention relates to novel anti-HIV antibodies that can be used in the treatment and detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). These antibodies exhibit a high degree of sensitivity and can provide a broad range of specificity.
Methods for quantitating individual antibodies from a mixture
The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a method of quantitating an amount of an antibody molecule from a mixture comprising two or more antibody molecules, comprising separating each of the two or more antibody molecules from the mixture by hydrophobic interaction chromatography high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC) and quantitating an amount of each antibody molecule, wherein the molecular weight of each antibody molecule is within 15 kDa of any other antibody molecule in the mixture and either each antibody molecule is different from another antibody molecule in the mixture by more than about 0.25 unit on the Kyte & Doolittle hydropathy scale or each of the antibody molecules when nm alone on HIC-HPLC elutes at distinct run time with little overlap from the other antibody molecules in the mixture, or both.
