  • Patent number: 12421306
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are single-domain antibodies (sdABs) configured for targeting to human or mammalian lung tissue. Constructs and methods of using such sdABs are also described herein, such as methods of binding with and transporting other sdABs or other cargo with beneficial functionalities, binding to and transporting biochemical or pharmaceutical species with beneficial functionalities, and a method of treating, diagnosing, or prophylactically treating a disease, condition, or malignancy. A purification method for in vivo treatment or testing is also provided.

  • Patent number: 12098186
    Abstract: Provided herein are asymmetric biparatopic neutralizing nanobody-based antibodies which engage SARS-2 spike in at least two independent epitopes. Several biparatopic constructs showed synergy in neutralizing viral infection of cells. Data also showed that single biparatopic constructs are more effective than the combination of the parental monotopic constructs were at neutralization. The nanobodies that were identified in an initial screen of a large and highly diverse library bind to a single epitope that overlaps with the ACE2 binding site.

  • Patent number: 12024551
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an isolated or purified antibody, or a fragment thereof, having a binding domain that binds to a coronavirus (e.g., SARS-COV-2) or a portion thereof. In other embodiments, the antibody includes a binding domain that competes with binding to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) or a portion thereof. Methods of using such antibodies are also described herein, such as methods of treating or delaying the progression of a disease associated with a coronavirus.
