Abstract: Described herein are compositions for delivering single-domain antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof to a subject. The single-domain antibodies may be therapeutic agents for treatment of a disease or a condition in the subject, such as a disease or a condition of affecting the lungs of the subject. The compositions comprise enucleated cells that are extensively engineered to produce the single-domain antibodies or antigen-binding fragment thereof, and optionally, contain additional components, such as a targeting moiety, immune system evading moiety, or additional therapeutic agents or adjuvants. Methods of producing the compositions described herein are provided, which involve methods of enucleating a parent cell to obtain the enucleated cell comprising the single-domain antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. Also provided are kits and methods for using the compositions described herein to treat the disease or a condition by administering one or more of the compositions to the subject.

Abstract: Provided are methods of making and delivering vaccine compositions using an enucleated cell-based platform. Methods of clearing pathogenic infections in a subject using the enucleated cell-based platform is also provided. Such enucleated cell-based platform reduces the vaccine development timeline as compared with conventional biological vaccines, and improves vaccine efficacy.

Abstract: The invention provides genetically altered fish of the family Cyprinidae, or genus Danio, including zebrafish (Danio rerio) and host cells from these animals, where the fish have been genetically altered to lack or have a modified gene related to lipid metabolism, for example, an ApoE, ApoAI and/or LDL-R gene. In another aspect, the invention is directed to drug design or discovery using the animal or cell models of the invention and/or wild type zebrafish, and by administering an altered diet and/or environment to the animal of invention. The invention also provides methods for screening for a compound capable of ameliorating or preventing or reversing: atherosclerosis; hyperlipidemia; lipoprotein oxidation; the accumulation of lipid in a blood vessel wall; vascular inflammation associated with lipid accumulation in a blood vessel wall; acute atherosclerosis-associated events; heart attack; stroke.
