  • Publication number: 20230279082
    Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-HIV antibodies. Also disclosed are related methods and compositions. HIV causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans characterized by clinical features including wasting syndromes, central nervous system degeneration and profound immunosuppression that results in life-threatening opportunistic infections and malignancies. Since its discovery in 1981, HIV type 1 (HIV-1) has led to the death of at least 25 million people worldwide.

  • Publication number: 20220402977
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include methods, compositions, and kits suitable for use in vaccination. There are provided, in some embodiments, nucleic acid compositions (e.g., mRNA vaccine, DNA vaccine) comprising a polynucleotide encoding a fusion protein. The fusion protein can comprise an antigenic polypeptide (AP) and an endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-recruiting domain (ERD). A plurality of fusion proteins can be capable of self-assembling into an enveloped nanoparticle (ENP) secreted from a cell in which the fusion proteins are expressed. There are provided, in some embodiments, populations of ENPs.
