  • Publication number: 20230303664
    Abstract: The present invention pertains in the fields of antibody technology, protein engineering, medicine, pharmacology, infection biology, virology, and medical diagnostics. More specifically, the present disclosure provides VHH antibodies that prevent cell entry of and infection by SARS-CoV-2, a strategy for an enhanced block of the homotrimeric viral spike proteins by symmetry-matching VHH-fusions, implementations of this strategy, as well as VHH antibodies for sensitive detection of SARS-CoV2-infections.

  • Publication number: 20210261937
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fusion protein, comprising the structure N-PCSY-degSigN-M-PCSX-degSigCC; wherein N represents the N-terminus; PCSY and PCSX each represent a protease cleavage site (PCS), which differ from each other in at least one amino acid residue; degSigN represents a degradation signal which promotes degradation of the fusion protein in a host pot cell if PCSY is cleaved by a protease such that the first amino acid of degSigN becomes the new N-terminus of the remaining fusion; M represents a cytoplasmic selection marker; and degSigC represents a second degradation signal which promotes degradation of the fusion protein in a host cell if PCSX is not cleaved by a protease; and C represents the C-terminus.

  • Patent number: 10378003
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology. More specifically, the present invention provides a protease, a non-naturally occurring fusion protein comprising a corresponding protease recognition site, expression vectors encoding same, host cells comprising said expression vectors, kit of parts as well as methods applying the protease, fusion protein, and uses thereof, as defined in the claims. The presently disclosed protease/protease recognition site is particularly useful in methods requiring an orthogonal set of proteases, and is suitable for use in both prokaryotic and selected eukaryotic expression systems.
