Provided herein are antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof specific to BCG antigen Ag85B as well as chimeric antigen receptors and lymphocytes comprising Ag85B antibodies as described and methods of treating cancer and tuberculosis infections using the CAR lymphocytes described. In a first aspect, provided herein is an isolated antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof capable of binding Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) antigen Ag85B.

The present disclosure, relates, in general to analogs of proline-rich polypeptide 1 (PRP-1) designated tyrosine peptides (TYR peptide) that are useful to treat cancer, such as sarcomas, carcinomas and leukemias or liquid cancers.

This application provides a composition containing PENK protein and its application in promoting osteoblast osteogenic differentiation. Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: The pro-PENK recombinant protein and the PENK-containing composition provided in this application, after being applied to cells with osteogenic potential, enhance osteogenic performance through interaction with CBFB protein, and can significantly promote osteogenic differentiation. Compared with the existing bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP recombinant protein), the osteogenic effect is superior. Furthermore, experiments have verified that the osteogenic differentiation effect of pro-PENK recombinant protein on osteoblasts is dose-dependent. This application further verifies that the combined use of low doses of PENK recombinant protein and BMP recombinant protein has a more significant cellular osteogenic effect than the use of either at high doses alone.

The present invention provides delivery vectors for transferring a nucleic acid sequence to a cell in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo. The present invention provides methods of delivering a nucleic acid sequence to a cell and methods of treating focal epilepsies.

Disclosed are, inter alia, combinations comprising a first antisense (e.g., first double stranded RNAi (dsRNAi)) agent for inhibiting expression of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9), for example, human PCSK9, and a second antisense agent (e.g., second dsRNAi agent) for inhibiting expression of angiotensinogen (AGT); pharmaceutical compositions including the same, and methods of treatment using the same.

The present disclosure provides modified immune cells or precursors thereof (e.g. T cells) comprising a first chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) capable of binding human IL13Rα2, a second CAR capable of binding EGFR or an isoform thereof, and a dominant negative TGFbβ type II receptor (DN-TGFbβRII). Compositions and methods of treatment are also provided.

The invention relates to the field of active peptide preparation, in particular to a preparation method and application of modified protein peptide for improving memory, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, adding modified chimeric peptide and piperine into 70% wt of ethanol aqueous solution, and adding zein to obtain an organic phase; according to the invention, a neuroprotective peptide fragment and a core memory improving peptide are embedded by an enzyme method and subjected to fixed-point palmitoylation modification, and then the neuroprotective peptide fragment and the core memory improving peptide are entrapped in zein-chitosan nanoparticles together with an absorption enhancer piperine, so that an oral co-loading delivery system is constructed; functional synergy and efficient targeted delivery of the active peptide are achieved, meanwhile, the whole preparation process is green and mild, purification is efficient, the bioavailability, efficacy and production feasibility of polypeptide products are remarkably improved, and the polypeptide has wide application prospects in the fields of functional food, special medical food and pharmaceutical preparations.
