Abstract: This document relates to methods and materials for making and using viruses (e.g., measles viruses or adenoviruses) having a reduced susceptibility to antibody neutralization (e.g., antibody neutralization by serum from measles virus vaccines). For example, recombinant morbilliviruses (e.g., recombinant measles viruses) having a modified H gene and a modified F gene, as well as methods of using a recombinant virus are provided.

Abstract: Canine distemper vims (CDV) hemagglutinin (H) and fusion (F) polypeptides are provided herein. For example, engineered configurations of CDV fusogenic membrane glycoprotein (FMG) complexes containing H and F glycoproteins are provided herein, as are pseudotyped viruses (e.g., pseudotyped lentiviruses) containing the engineered CDV FMG complexes on their surface. In addition, this document provides nucleic acid molecules encoding CDV-H and/or CDV-F polypeptide components, methods for making recombinant cells expressing the CDV-H and CDV-F polypeptides, and methods for making and using pseudotyped viruses (e.g., pseudotyped lentiviruses) containing CDV FMG complexes.

Abstract: This document provides methods and materials related to CDV H and/or CDV F polypeptides. For example, CDV H polypeptides, CDV F polypeptides, recombinant viruses (e.g., vesicular stomatitis viruses (VSVs)) containing CDV H polypeptides and/or CDV F polypeptides, nucleic acid molecules encoding a CDV H polypeptide and/or CDV F polypeptide, methods for making recombinant viruses (e.g., VSVs) containing CDV H polypeptides and/or CDV F polypeptides, and methods for using recombinant viruses (e.g., VSVs) containing CDV H polypeptides and/or CDV F polypeptides to treat cancer or infectious diseases are provided.

Abstract: A fluoride shuttle (F-shuttle) battery and nanostructures of copper based cathode materials in the fluoride shuttle battery. The F-shuttle batteries include a liquid electrolyte, which allows the F-shuttle batteries to operate under room temperature. The minimum thickness of copper layer within the copper nanostructures is no more than 20 nm. The thickness of copper layer within the copper nanostructures is controlled and reduced to ensure the energy densities of F-shuttle batteries.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fluoride ion batteries and structures of metal based electrode materials for various fluoride ion batteries. The structures of the metal based electrode materials comprise one or more shells or interfaces, enabling the electrodes to operate at room temperature with a liquid electrolyte.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to fluoride (F) ion batteries and F shuttle batteries comprising an anode with a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, a cathode comprising a core shell structure, and a liquid fluoride battery electrolyte. According to some aspects, the components therein enable discharge and recharge at room-temperature.
