Methods and composition for neutralization of influenza
Provided herein are anti-neuraminidase agents useful for neutralization of influenza virus infection, and methods of use and manufacture thereof. In particular, compositions comprising anti-neuraminidase agents (e.g., antibodies) that are cross-reactive with multiple influenza strains are provided, as well as methods of treatment and prevention of influenza infection therewith.
ANTIGEN BINDING POLYPEPTIDES, ANTIGEN BINDING POLYPEPTIDE COMPLEXES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
Disclosed are antigen binding polypeptides and antigen binding polypeptide complexes (e.g., antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof) having certain structural features. Also disclosed are polynucleotides and vectors encoding such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes; host cells; chimeric antigen receptors (CARs); immune cells; pharmaceutical compositions and kits containing such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes; and methods of using such polypeptides and polypeptide complexes.
FILOVIRUS ANTIBODIES AND METHODS
An antibody that binds to a filovirus glycoprotein generally includes include a complementarity determining region (CDR) of any one of SEQ ID NO:27-36 or a combination of such CDRs. The antibody may be used in to detect filovirus in a biological sample obtained from a subject. The antibody also may be formulated into a pharmaceutical composition for administering to a subject having, or at risk of having, a filovirus infection.
Method of treating influenza A
Provided herein are methods for treating, reducing or preventing influenza A virus infection in a patient, as well as compositions and articles of manufacture for treating, reducing or preventing influenza A virus infection in a patient.
METHOD FOR SELECTING ANTIBODY FRAGMENTS, RECOMBINANT ANTIBODIES PRODUCED THEREFROM, AND USES THEREOF
Disclosed herein are methods for selecting an antibody fragment specific to an influenza virus. According to certain embodiments of the present disclosure, the influenza virus may be influenza virus type A (IAV) or influenza virus type B (IBV). Also disclosed herein are the selected antibodies, recombinant antibody produced from the selected antibodies, and the uses thereof in the diagnosis of influenza virus infection.
Chimeric antigen receptor-modified NK-92 cells
Provided are NK-92 cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). The CAR can comprise an intracellular domain of FcεRIγ. Also described are methods for treating a patient having or suspected of having a disease that is treatable with NK-92 cells, such as cancer or a viral infection, comprising administering to the patient NK-92-CAR cells.
MULTIPLE RAPID DETECTION KITS AND METHODS FOR VARIOUS VIRUSES
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.
Immune complex
The present invention relates to immunogenic immune complexes, related compositions, and related methods.
HU specific interfering agents
Methods of and compositions for breaking down a biofilm or inhibiting, preventing or treating a microbial infection that produces a biofilm are disclosed, which involves administration of an interfering agent capable of specifically competing, titrating, or inhibiting the binding of an HU protein to a microbial DNA. By competing with HU proteins that bind to DNA scaffold in the biofilm, these interfering agents destabilize the biofilm leading to destruction and removal of the biofilm by the immune system. Further method and composition aspects are contemplated in relation to infections caused by bacteria that export an HU protein.
GENERATION OF BINDING MOLECULES
Provided are methods for efficiently and comprehensively screening antibody repertoires from B cells to obtain and produce molecules with binding characteristics and functional activities for use in human therapy.
