Abstract:
Disclosed herein are ACE2-Fc fusion polypeptides that contain at least one binding site for a spike protein of a coronavirus and methods of using such for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purposes. Also provided herein are methods for producing such fusion polypeptides.
Abstract:
A method of facilitating the delivery of an agent across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) of a subject, the method involving the use of a low dose of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) polypeptide. In some embodiments, the VEGF polypeptide can be given to the subject before and after administration of the agent at multiple doses.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are recombinant viruses and/or insect cells suitable for detecting the infection of a pathogen in a biological sample of a test subject. The information derived from the detection may also be used to render a diagnosis on whether the test subject is infected with the pathogen or not, so that proper course of treatment may be assigned to the subject. Also disclosed herein is a vaccine for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of infection caused by said pathogen.
Abstract:
Described is a method of introducing multiple nucleic acid molecules into the genome of a cell. The method includes providing a plurality of nucleic acid molecules, each of the plurality of nucleic acid molecules containing (a) a nucleic acid sequence operatively linked to a promoter sequence at the 5′ end of the nucleic acid molecule, and (b) an overlapping sequence at the 3′ end of the nucleic acid molecule.
