  • Patent number: 10766932
    Abstract: The present embodiments provide for an immunogenic multiple antigen presenting system comprising a polymer to which antigens are associated by complementary affinity molecules. For example, the polymer can be a polysaccharide, or antigenic polysaccharide, to which protein or peptide antigens from the same or different pathogens are indirectly linked. The present immunogenic compositions can elicit both humoral and cellular immune responses to one or multiple antigens at the same time.

  • Patent number: 10766933
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mutated immunoglobulin-binding protein having increased alkaline tolerance and, more specifically, to an immunoglobulin-binding protein in which, with respect to the A-domain of Staphylococcal protein A, or a functional variant thereof, an amino acid at a specific site is mutated and thereby exhibits an increased chemical stability at an alkaline pH value in comparison to a parental molecule. The present invention can provide an antibody-purifying immunoglobulin-binding protein ligand and matrix which have enhanced alkaline tolerance and accordingly enhanced stability in multiple times of alkaline cleaning.

  • Patent number: 10766934
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides genetically modified Chlorella sorokiniana. DAD1 gene is overexpressed in wild type Chlorella sorokiniana to obtain the genetically modified Chlorella sorokiniana. The genetically modified Chlorella sorokiniana is characterized by increased biomass, increased carrying capacity, reduced clumping, and increased stress tolerance to ultraviolet light and high light intensity, as compared to the wild type Chlorella sorokiniana. The genetically modified Chlorella sorokiniana can be used for the production of industrially important products.

  • Patent number: 10766938
    Abstract: This invention provides for a fusion protein between an IL2??? Selective Agonist protein (IL2 Selective Agonist) and a IgG Fc protein using a linker. The IL2 Selective Agonist moiety provides a therapeutic activity by selectively activating the IL2??? form of the receptor, thus selectively stimulating Tregs. The Fc moiety provides a prolonged circulating half-life compared to the circulating half-life of IL-2 or an IL2SA protein.
