  • Patent number: 12629399
    Abstract: Proposed are a recombinant herpes simplex virus for multiple targeting and the use thereof. Particularly, a recombinant HSV capable of multiple targeting through multiple expression of an adapter, which is a fused protein of a cancer-cell-targeting domain and an extracellular domain of HVEM, a recombinant HSV capable of multiple targeting by having a modified glycoprotein so as to enable retargeting, in addition to being capable of expressing the adapter that is the fused protein of the cancer-cell-targeting domain and the extracellular domain of HVEM, and the use of the virus for anti-inflammatory therapy are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12460229
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to viral-based expression systems suitable for the production of molecule of interests in recombinant host cells. The disclosure particularly relates to nucleic acid constructs, such as expression vectors, containing a modified arterivirus genome or replicon RNA in which at least some of its original viral sequence has been deleted. Also included in the disclosure are viral-based expression vectors including one or more expression cassettes encoding heterologous polypeptides. In some embodiments, the expression cassettes are configured and positioned at defined locations on the viral genome so as to enable expression of the heterologous polypeptides in a tunable manner.

  • Patent number: 12398199
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a nano antibody for neutralizing a toxicity of SARS-CoV-2 and preparation method thereof. The nano antibody comprises a complementarity determining region CDR comprising a CDR1, a CDR2 and a CDR3; an amino acid sequence of the CDR1 is selected from at least one of amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 and SEQ ID NO. 2; an amino acid sequence of the CDR2 is selected from at least one of amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NO. 3, SEQ ID NO. 4, and SEQ ID NO. 5; and an amino acid sequence of the CDR3 is selected from at least one of amino acid sequences shown in any one of SEQ ID NO. 6 to SEQ ID NO. 9. The nano antibody for neutralizing the toxicity of SARS-CoV-2 has the advantages of a small molecular weight, a high affinity with the SARS-CoV-2, a low production cost, and the like.
