Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating a virus infection, such as a coronavirus infection, by delivering to a subject in need a binding agent, wherein the binding agent comprising (i) at least one binding domain that binds to a viral protein expressed on the surface of a virus, and (ii) a modified Fc domain that exhibits either (a) reduced binding to an Fc activating receptor or (b) increased binding to an Fc inhibitory receptor compared to a wild-type Fc domain. The binding agent may be delivered as a polynucleotide (e.g. mRNA) or as a protein, and may be contained in a vehicle for delivery, such as a viral or non-viral vector. The present disclosure also relates to the polynucleotides, proteins, and vehicles (e.g. viral and non-viral vector) and composition thereof, including for use in the methods.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating or reducing the likelihood of a virus infection, such as a coronavirus infection, by delivering to a subject in need a Chromosome 19 Open Reading Frame 66 (C19orf66) or a regulatory factor that increases expression of the gene encoding C19ord66 in a cell in a subject. The C19orf66 or regulatory factor may be delivered as a polynucleotide (e.g. mRNA or DNA) or as a protein, and may be contained in a vehicle for delivery, such as a viral or non-viral vector. Also provided are polynucleotides, proteins, and vehicles (e.g. viral and non-viral vector) and composition thereof, including for use in the methods.

Abstract: Provided are chimeric VEGF-binding proteins and nucleic acids (e.g., a vector) encoding chimeric VEGF-binding proteins, methods and host cells for producing these proteins and nucleic acids, and pharmaceutical compositions containing these proteins and nucleic acids. Also provided are methods of treating an angiogenic disease or disorder that include administering at least one of the chimeric VEGF-binding proteins or at least one of the nucleic acids (e.g., a vector) encoding a chimeric VEGF-binding protein.

Abstract: Chimeric T-cell receptor proteins have been produced in cells by the construction of nucleic acids and vectors, and the transfection of the vectors into cells. The chimeric proteins comprise, as an extracellular binding portion, a single chain antibody portion that binds to EGFRvIII, a transmembrane portion derived from human CD8? or CD28, and an intracellular signaling portion derived from human CD3?. The invention includes nucleic acids, vectors and cells associated with the production of the chimeric membrane protein, as well as methods to treat rumors bearing EGFRvIII, a mutant epidermal growth factor receptor.
