Abstract: Screening assays and methods of performing such assays are provided. In certain examples, the assays and methods may be designed to determine whether or not two or more species can associate with each other. In some examples, the assays and methods may be used to determine if a known antigen binds to an unknown monoclonal antibody.

Abstract: Methods for the in vitro production of enucleated red blood cells and the enucleated red blood cells thus prepared are provided. Such enucleated red blood cells may express a sortaggable surface protein, which allows for surface modification in the presence of a sortase. Also described herein are surface modified enucleated red blood cells, e.g., conjugated with an agent of interest such as a peptide, a detectable label, or a chemotherapeutic agent, and uses thereof in delivering the agent to a subject.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for producing site specific PEG modifications to single domain antibodies (e.g., VHHs). Methods for producing site-specific ally conjugated bivalent single domain antibodies (e.g., VHHs) are also provided. Methods for labeling (e.g., with a fluorophore or radionuclide) site-specifically PEGylated single domain antibodies and site-specifically conjugated bivalent single domain antibodies are also provided.

Abstract: Methods and reagents for the installation of click chemistry handles on target proteins are provided, as well as modified proteins comprising click chemistry handles. Further, chimeric proteins, for example, bi-specific antibodies, that comprise two proteins conjugated via click chemistry, as well as methods for their generation and use are disclosed herein.

Abstract: The present invention, in some aspects, provides methods, reagents, compositions, and kits for the radiolabeling of proteins, for example, of proteins useful for positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (e.g., for diagnostic and therapeutic applications), using sortase-mediated transpeptidation reactions. Some aspects of this invention provide methods for the conjugation of an agent, for example, a radioactive agent or molecule to diagnostic or therapeutic peptides or proteins. Compositions comprising sortagged, radiolabeled proteins as well as reagents for generating radiolalebed proteins are also provided. Kits comprising reagents useful for the generation of radiolabeled proteins are provided, as are precursor proteins that comprise a sortase recognition motif.

Abstract: Non-genetically engineered mammalian cells modified by sortase-mediated conjugation of an agent thereto are provided. Methods of conjugating agents to nongenetically engineered mammalian cells using sortase are provided. Methods of using the cells, e.g. a method of modulating an immune response of a subject to an entity of interest, a method of neutralizing a substance in the body of a subject, a method of treating a subject in need of treatment for deficiency of a protein, and a method of treating a subject in need of treatment for a disease, are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for ligation. The invention provides novel reagents and methods for ligating an acyl donor compound with an acyl acceptor compound. Provided acyl donor compounds comprise a transamidase recognition sequence that allows ligation with a nucleophilic acyl acceptor in the presence of transamidase. The invention further provides kits comprising acyl donor compounds and optionally comprising other reagents for ligation.
