Abstract: Modified T cell receptors, cells comprising the modified T cell receptors, nucleic acids encoding the modified T cell receptors, and methods for using the modified T cell receptors are contemplated. Modified T cell receptor comprising two peptide chains are disclosed herein. The two peptide chains may be the same or different, and each peptide chain comprises an extracellular domain comprising a variable region, a constant region, and a connecting peptide, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain comprising a CD28 region and a CD3 ? ITAM region. Nucleic acids encoding the modified T cell receptors, and vectors comprising the nucleic acids are also disclosed. Additionally, a method for treating cancer and/or a viral infection is disclosed comprising administering a cell comprising the modified T cell receptor.

Abstract: Proteinaceous therapeutics, such as antibodies and fusion proteins, for preventing, reducing the occurrence of, and/or treating a SARS-CoV-2 infection in a subject are provided herein. The methods provided herein include administering to a subject an antigen binding fragments (Fab fragment) or antibody that binds to the S ARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, ACE2 decoy peptides that bind to the SAILS-CoV-2 Spike protein, and/or a DNA construct encoding an anti-Spike Fab fragment or ACE2 decoy peptide.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for preparation and use of recombinant viruses or other recombinant expression systems are presented in which neoepitopes are first identified in a patient- and cancer-specific manner and then further filtered by HLA-match to the patient. Selected neoepitopes are then expression using sequence elements that direct the expressed neoepitope to the HLA-type (MHC-I and/or MHC-II subtype) that has desirable affinity to the filtered neoepitope.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are presented for prevention and/or treatment of a coronavirus disease wherein the composition comprises a recombinant entity. The recombinant entity comprises a nucleic acid that encodes a extracellular portion of CD40 ligand (CD40L) coupled by a flexible linker to a coronavirus 2 (CoV2) spike protein and/or a CoV2 nucleocapsid protein.
