Abstract: The present disclosure provides humanized and affinity matured antibodies (mAbs) and fragments thereof that specifically bind to CD79 with high affinity. The anti-CD79 mAbs and fragments thereof can be used to treat antibody-associated conditions, including autoimmune diseases, allergies, transplant rejection, or immune-mediated rejection of a therapeutics optionally in combination with an additional therapeutic agent. Furthermore, the anti-CD79 mAbs and fragments thereof can be used for diagnostic purposes, including to detect CD79 cells in biological samples and to diagnose B-cell associated disorders.

Abstract: The present invention relates to amantadine nitrate compounds having neural protective effect, and preparation method and medical use thereof. The compounds have the structure of the general formula (II). The compounds have multifunctional mechanisms, including inhibiting NMDA receptors, releasing NO, inhibiting calcium influxes, and having protective effects on cells particularly neurocytes. The compounds can be used in the preparation of medicaments having a cellular protective effect, for prevention or treatment of the diseases related to such as NMDA receptors and elevation of calcium anions in cells, including the diseases related to neurodegeneration such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cerebral paralysis and glaucoma, and the diseases related to cardio-cerebral-vascular system such as Parkinson's syndrome combined with cerebral arteriosclerosis, as well as respiratory tract infections caused by influenza virus.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are ACE2 fusion proteins that can be used to block infection of cells by SARS-CoV-2. The fusion proteins may have additional functionality such as inhibition of complement. The fusion protein may also include a polypeptide or a moiety that increases serum or blood half-life of the ACE2 fusion protein.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel cell line development method useful to screen for recombinant protein production. The method utilizes a membrane-anchored reporter or an intracellular reporter residing in the expression vector for a gene of interest to facilitate initial cell selection by FACS or MACS. A switching mechanism can be used to delete the reporter from the chromosome by providing an appropriate DNA recombinase, which turns the selected cells into production cells that secrete the protein of interest without co-expression of the reporter.
