The present disclosure provides monoclonal antibodies that recognize human Nectin-2 (Nectin-2, Poliovirus Receptor-Related Protein-2, Poliovirus Receptor-Like 2, CDI12, or PRR-2, is a single pass transmembrane glycoprotein with two Ig-like C2-type domains and an Ig-like V-type domain) with high affinity and specificity and inhibit its binding to TIGIT and / or CD112R. The antibodies recognize the Nectin-2 protein (CD112), prevent its binding to T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) and CD112R (PVRIG) and inhibit suppressive activity on lymphocytes such as natural killer (NK) cells and T-cells. The disclosure further provides pharmaceutical and methods for use in cancer immunotherapy and in diagnosis. The disclosure finally further provides chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising scFv antibody binding to Nectin-2.

This invention discloses a method for manufacturing a negative ion device for preventing and treating airborne viral infections. Specifically, water is added to tourmaline pebbles to moisten them, but not completely immerse them, and additional air pressure is applied to the surface of the wet tourmaline pebbles. The pressure of the tourmaline is used to generate a pressure-electric electrode that is far greater than the spontaneous polarization effect, ionizing surrounding water molecules to produce a large number of hydroxide and hydrogen ions. Hydrogen ions have a weaker electron-capturing ability compared to oxygen molecules and are the lightest substance, so they disperse immediately after being blown out by the fan, resulting in a very low content in the environment. After the hydroxide ions donate electrons, water and oxygen are produced, and the electrons that donate them combine with oxygen molecules blown in by the fan and oxygen molecules produced by their own reactions to form intrinsic negative ions by Brownian motion. Using these negative ions obtained through the Green method, it is possible to promote the decomposition of VOCs, condense and settle PM2.5, aerosols, bacteria, viruses, pollen, etc., inhibit or kill bacteria, change or reverse the polarity of the potential inside and outside the viral capsid, break down the viral spike, rapidly inactivate viruses, and prevent viruses from entering human cells by blocking electrostatic attraction between the viral receptor binding region and the cell membrane receptor. At the same time, it has other health and therapeutic effects such as alleviating respiratory allergies, improving respiratory and circulatory functions, aiding sleep, preventing fatigue, antioxidant, removing free radicals in the body, increasing the body's repair capacity, and enhancing immunity. It can also generate and replenish diffused oxygen and perform mist-free humidification.

This invention belongs to the field of biomedical engineering technology, specifically relating to the construction and application of a screening model for influenza virus receptor binding inhibitors. Addressing the problem of influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) being prone to mutation and having multiple subtypes, making it difficult to screen for broad-spectrum inhibitors, this invention replaces HA with elderberry lectin (SNA), which specifically recognizes α-2,6-sialic acid. Using MDCK cells overexpressing α-2,6-sialic acid, a fluorescently labeled high-throughput screening model is constructed by labeling SNA with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). The relative fluorescence units (RFU) of the system are detected using a multifunctional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. Active compounds inhibit the binding of SNA to cell surface receptors, resulting in a lower RFU value, while inactive compounds show a higher RFU value. This invention provides key technical support for the development of novel inhibitors targeting influenza virus receptor binding.
