Abstract:
A carrying case includes a backbone panel forming a back and base for the carrying case. A rear-top panel is connected to the backbone panel forming at least a portion of the sides and top of the carrying case. A left side and a right side panel are connected to the backbone panel forming a portion of the left side and right side of the carrying case, respectively. A mid-top panel is connected to the left side and right side panels, forming a portion of the sides and top of the carrying case. A mid-front panel is connected to the mid-top panel, the left side and right side panels, and the backbone panel, the mid-front panel forming the front of the carrying case. A first zipper is connected to the rear-top panel and the mid-top panel. The backbone panel, rear-top panel, left side and right side panels, mid-top panel, mid-front panel, and zipper form a first pocket in the carrying case.
Abstract:

Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use are also included.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to multi-functional carriers for carrying items and methods for constructing carriers. According to some embodiments the carrier includes a holder and a strap molded of foam material. The strap and holder may be coupled together in various configurations to create loop through which one or more objects may be inserted or removed from within a cavity in the holder.
Abstract:
The present invention provides variants of cyanovirin-N and water-soluble polymer conjugates thereof, and methods of preparing such conjugates. The cyanovirin-N of the invention are particularly suited for site-selective covalent attachment of one or more water soluble polymers, to provide polymer conjugates of cyanovirin-N variants exhibiting antiviral activity.
Abstract:
An isolated or purified antiviral protein consisting essentially of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, an amino acid sequence that is about 90% or more identical to SEQ ID NO: 1, an amino acid sequence that is about 90% or more homologous to SEQ ID NO: 1, or an antiviral fragment of any of the foregoing; a variant, fusion protein or conjugate thereof; a composition comprising (i) at least one of the foregoing and (ii) a carrier, excipient or adjuvant: an isolated or purified nucleic acid consisting essentially of a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of the aforementioned antiviral protein or antiviral fragment thereof, or a variant or fusion protein of either of the foregoing; an isolated cell comprising an above-described isolated or purified nucleic acid; a composition comprising (i) an above-described isolated or purified nucleic acid, and (ii) a carrier, excipient or adjuvant; a method of inhibiting a viral infection of a host comprising administering a viral infection-inhibiting amount of at least one of an above-described antiviral protein or an antiviral fragment thereof, a variant or fusion protein of either of the foregoing, an above-described nucleic acid, or an isolated cell comprising an abovedescribed nucleic acid; a method of inhibiting a virus in a biological sample or in/on an inanimate object comprising contacting the biological sample or the inanimate object with a viral-inhibiting amount of at least one of an above-described antiviral protein or an antiviral fragment thereof, or a variant, fusion protein or conjugate of either of the foregoing, antibodies and composition thereof, and a method of inhibiting infection of a mammal with a virus comprising administering to the mammal an anti-scytovirin antibody in an amount sufficient to induce in the mammal an immune response to the virus.
