  • Publication number: 20240059757
    Abstract: The instant disclosure provides antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that can bind to a SARS-CoV-2 antigen and, in certain embodiments, are capable of neutralizing a SARS-CoV-2 infection. In certain embodiments, the presently disclosed antibodies are capable of binding to S proteins of multiple sarbecoviruses and/or neutralizing infection by multiple sarbecoviruses. Also provided are polynucleotides that encode an antibody or antigen-binding fragment, vectors and host cells that comprise a polynucleotide, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of using the presently disclosed antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, polynucleotides, vectors, host cells, and compositions to treat or diagnose a sarbecovirus infection, such as a SARS-CoV-2 infection.

  • Patent number: 11841368
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide and a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide for use in a method of detecting the presence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) and/or of diagnosing an HDV infection and/or of monitoring the treatment of an HDV infection. The present invention further relates to an in vitro method, an immunographic test device as well as a kit. In particular, the present invention relates to a point of care diagnostic for HDV infections.

  • Publication number: 20230242621
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates, in part, to antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that can bind to the antigenic loop region of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and, optionally, can neutralize infection hepatitis B virus (HBV), and further optionally, of hepatitis delta virus (HDV). Presently disclosed antibodies and antigen-binding fragments have advantageous production characteristics, such as reduced formation of aggregates and/or improved production titer in transformed host cells, as compared to a reference antibody or antigen-binding fragment. The present disclosure also relates to fusion proteins that comprise an antigen-binding fragment, and to nucleic acids that encode and cells that produce such antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, and fusion proteins.
