Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods of treating arthritogenic alphavirus infection. Compositions include a fusion protein comprising an Fc region, a first Mxra8 region, and a second Mxra8 region, wherein the fusion protein reduces inflammation and infection by an arthritogenic alphavirus. Methods include administering the fusion protein to a mammalian or non-mammalian subject to reduce or inhibit alphavirus infection.

Abstract: A two-ply stamp album page in which cut-outs in the upper-positioned ply form recessed compartments for maintaining the stamps in place therein, and wherein the compartments are completed by plastic strips attached in spanning relation across the cut-outs and functioning as partial closures or covers for the compartments. The recess of the compartments, as well as an inert chemical coating on the compartment surfaces adjacent each stamp rear adhesive surface, obviates any inadvertent adhesive attachment to said stamp surface, said recess preventing the direct application of weight or pressure upon the stamp as might contribute to said inadvertent attachment.
