  • Patent number: 11912781
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides, among other things, two different formats of humanized antibodies against human complement component 5a receptor I. The disclosure also provides a method of treating a subject having dysfunctions of C5a/C5aR1 axis pathway, including but not limited to ANCA-associated vasculitis, comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a an effective amount of antibody or a nucleic encoding an antibodies binding to C5aR1 described herein, and wherein administering results in a decrease in symptoms associated with C5a/C5aR1 associated dysfunction in the subject.

  • Patent number: 11897949
    Abstract: This disclosure provides compositions and methods for controlling pain. In particular the disclosure provides a method for controlling pain comprising co-administration of an NGF antagonist and a TNF? antagonist. The NGF antagonist and the TNF? antagonist can be separate molecules or part of a multifunctional polypeptide, e.g., a multispecific binding molecule that comprises an NGF antagonist domain and a TNF? antagonist domain. This disclosure also provides multifunctional polypeptides, e.g., multispecific binding molecules, comprising an NGF antagonist domain, and a TNF? antagonist domain. The method provides improved pain control. Administration of an NGF antagonist and a TNF? antagonist as provided herein can control pain in the subject more effectively than an equivalent amount of the NGF antagonist or the TNF? antagonist administered alone.

  • Patent number: 11858974
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose compounds that modulate the aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins or peptides. In some aspects, disclosed compounds modulate the aggregation of disease-associated proteins and natural ?-amyloid peptides. In a preferred embodiment, the compounds can inhibit natural amyloid aggregation. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the embodiments, and diagnostic and treatment methods for diseases (e.g., amyloidogenic diseases) using the compounds, are also disclosed. In addition, there is provided an integrated bacterial platform for the discovery of rescuers of disease-associated protein misfolding.

  • Patent number: 11820811
    Abstract: A nanobody and its application based on SARS-CoV-2 S protein are provided, and the present disclosure relates to biomedical technology. The present disclosure chooses the Spike S1+S2 ECD of SARS-CoV-2 as a target, and screens the nanobody against of SARS-CoV-2 by using a nanobody library. After an ELISA test, the Spike S1+S2 ECD target of SARS-CoV-2 can be specifically identified while a SPIKE RBD target is identified, and a binding signal is relatively strong. The corresponding nanobody sequence is constructed into a prokaryotic expression vector for expression and purification to express the target nanobody successfully. After the purification, the purity is greater than 90%. The ELISA test of VHH nanobody showed that the purified nanobody has higher affinity to the two targets.

  • Patent number: 11661448
    Abstract: A nanobody and its application based on SARS-CoV-2 S protein S1 subunit are provided, and the present disclosure relates to biomedical technology. The present disclosure chooses the Spike RBD of SARS-CoV-2 as a target, and screens the nanobody targeting SARS-CoV-2 by using a nanobody library. After an ELISA test, the Spike RBD target of SARS-CoV-2 can be specifically identification while a SPIKE S1+S2 ECD target is identification, and a binding signal is relatively strong.
