  • Publication number: 20210187262
    Abstract: Provided herein are devices and methods used to produce tattoo biosensors that are based on spatially controlled intracutaneous gene delivery of optical reporters driven by specific transcription factor pathways for a given cytokine or other analyte. The biosensors can be specific to a given analyte, or more generically represent the convergence of several cytokines into commonly shared intracellular transcription factor pathways. These biosensors can be delivered as an array in order to monitor multiple cytokines. Biosensor redeployment can enable chronic monitoring from months to years. The tattooed biosensor array of the present invention includes endogenous reporter cells, naturally tuned to each patient's own biology and can be used to reliably measure the state of a patient in real-time.

  • Patent number: 10913776
    Abstract: Disclosed is an immunogen comprising a fusion protein, wherein the fusion protein comprises a Zika virus (ZIKV) envelope protein, optionally a signal peptide, and a multimerization domain. The signal peptide is a premembrane (prM) signal peptide, an IgG signal peptide, or a human secretory signal peptide hidden Markov model, and the multimerization domain is an immunoglobulin Fc domain, a T4 fibritin foldon trimerization domain, or a human collagen XV trimerization domain. Nucleic acids, vectors, and microneedle arrays including these compositions are disclosed. Methods of producing an immune response to ZIKV are also disclosed.
