The present invention relates to macromolecular complexes comprising micron-scale networks which include binding motifs thereon which allow the covalent bonding of the micron-scale networks to particles which provide nanoscale display surfaces. In particular the present invention relates to micron-scale networks of TMV coat proteins comprising a peptide tag (e.g. SpyTag) and particles providing a nanoscale display surface comprising GFP and a corresponding binding protein (e.g. SpyCatcher) wherein the peptide tag and binding protein pair are capable of spontaneously forming a covalent bond.

Provided herein are pseudotyped recombinant lyssavirus particles and methods for their use in delivering a transgene into a target cell. Also provided are packaging systems and methods of using the packaging systems to produce pseudotyped recombinant lyssavirus particles.

Hybrid reverse transcriptases formed from portions of FLVRT and MLVRT are provided.

Provided herein is a recombinant rod-shaped viral particle comprising a fusion protein comprising a coat protein for a rod-shaped plant virus and a epitope from a human and/or human pathogen, where the epitope is disposed on the outer surface of the viral particle. In certain cases, the amino acid sequence of the coat protein is at least 40% identical to the amino acid sequence of the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) coat protein.

Disclosed herein are plant-based, molecular and diagnostic tools that can be used to block aphid transmission of poleroviruses, including stabilized proteins for expression in transgenic plants and/or in formulations for direct plant delivery. Further disclosed are proteins that can kill aphids and methods to produce these proteins. Antibodies and useful for diagnostic and therapeutic uses against poleroviruses.

A prophylactic and/or therapeutic food composition for control of deformed wing vims (DWV) in bees and/or bee larvae, and methods of using and making the same. Bee feed compositions comprising anti-DWV antibodies dispersed in an edible base composition. Use of recombinant VP1, VP2, VP3, and/or VP4 capsid proteins, or VLPs of deformed wing vims (DWV) to passively generate anti-DWV antibodies in chicken egg yolks, and use of such anti-DWV antibodies for prophylaxis or treatment of deformed wing virus in the bees and/or larvae.

The present invention provides a new species of tobamovirus and its use to identify plants comprising resistance against the virus.

A method of treating systemic lupus erythematosus in a subject is provided in which a therapeutically effective amount of PIC1 is administered to the subject. A method of treating transfusion-related acute lung injury is also provided where a therapeutically effective amount of PIC1 is administered to the subject. PIC1 can modulate immune complex activation of the complement system and NET formation in the subject. PIC1 can also inhibit myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the subject.

Hybrid reverse transcriptases formed from portions of FLVRT and MLVRT are provided.

The disclosure relates to an anti-TIM3 single-chain antibody. The amino acid sequence of the anti-TIM3 single-chain antibody is a sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. T lymphocytes expressing the anti-TIM3 single-chain antibody can effectively kill tumor cells.
