Abstract: Multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies) that bind to HIV gp120 and CD3 are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of using such antibodies to treat or prevent HIV infection.

Abstract: A modified programmable nuclease provided as an antiviral therapeutic includes a programmable nuclease such as an RNA-guided nuclease, a DNA-guided nuclease, or a protein-guided nuclease linked to a secondary moiety to improve uptake, half-life, efficacy, or other properties. The nuclease is programmed to cleave viral genetic material in an infected patient.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for screening an agent for activity in modulating a T lymphocyte. The methods generally comprises contacting a HSV US3-expressing cell with a T lymphocyte in the presence or absence of the agent and monitoring a physiological change associated with CTL function to determine whether the agent modulates CTL activity. In particular, the HSV US3-expressing cell line can be a HSV-infected fibroblast and the physiological change associated with CTL function is a reduction or inhibition of the phosphorylation of HSP90 and/or a 50 kD CTL protein. Also disclosed are methods for blocking suppression of CTL activity against HSV-infected target cells, as well as methods for suppressing CTL activity against a target antigen.

Abstract: Described are peptides and peptide mimetics that bind to and the IL-5 receptor. Such peptides and peptide mimetics are useful in methods for treating disorders that involve improper production of or response to IL-5 and or the production and accumulation of eosinophils, such as asthma, as well as in diagnostic methods employing labeled peptides and peptide mimetics.
