Abstract: Genetically modified CCNT1 and XPO1 genes encoding proteins that inhibit virus infection in cells. The genetically modified CCNT1 gene encodes a protein with a C261Y substitution with respect to the human CCNT1 protein. The genetically modified XPO1 gene encodes a protein with P411T, M412V, and/or F414S substitutions with respect to the human XPO1 protein. The genetically modified CCNT1 and XPO1 genes can be introduced in cells. The cells comprising the genetically modified CCNT1 and XPO1 genes can be introduced in a subject with a virus infection to treat the infection.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sample container holder for securely holding sample containers of various shapes and sizes. The holder comprises a base having at least one slot extending from an upper portion of the base to a lower portion of the base. The holder further comprises at least one retainer inserted into the slot creating at least a partial enclosed area on the base to accommodate the sample container.

Abstract: A mounting base apparatus can be attached semi permanently to the base of a small engine, or built into the base of the engine, or into an implement of power equipment. This mounting device engages a singular point or a plurality of points provided for this purpose, to allow quick disconnection of the engine, so that the engine may be used on other implements conveniently. Because a single engine is to be used on various implements, provision is also made (on each implement) to support the rotating (work piece or transmission shaft) via an auxiliary spindle assembly on the implement in the absence of an engine. Further, provision is made to transmit torque from the engine through this auxiliary spindle shaft via a flexible coupling arrangement. Further, provision is made to transmit the motion (generally push-pull) of the throttle cable, where applicable, to the engine, also in a quick-disconnect manner.
