Abstract: Surfactant protein A (SP-A) is described for preventing and/or treating a sexually transmitted infection (STI) in a subject. The STI is caused by a DNA virus, such as Human papillomavirus (HPV) and/or Herpes simplex virus (HSV). SP-A can thus be used to prevent cervical cancer, genital warts and/or genital ulcers. Pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising SP-A are also described, as is a method for preventing and/or treating STIs caused by DNA viruses, the method comprising administering an effective amount of SP-A to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: A method for co-compartmentalising a cyclic polypeptide with a polynucleotide encoding the cyclic polypeptide, comprising the steps of a) forming a compartment containing a polynucleotide encoding the cyclic polypeptide, b) expressing a polypeptide from the polynucleotide, and c) cyclising the polypeptide. Co-compartmentalised cyclic polypeptides and encoding polynucleotides. Libraries of co-compartmentalised cyclic polypeptide and encoding polynucleotide. Methods for screening libraries of co-compartmentalised cyclic polypeptide and encoding polynucleotide. Incorporation of non-canonical nucleic acids into such libraries.
