    摘要: The present application is related to a novel coronavirus S protein double-region subunit nano-vaccine based on a bacterial complex. In the present invention, a receptor binding domain (RBD) and a fusion peptide (FP) of a virus are used together as double antigens, and are connected to a bacterial complex (such as PF_Ferritin or Lumazine Synthase (LS)) to form a fusion protein, so as to achieve antigen multimerization; and then expression is performed by using a eukaryotic cell expression system, and a 24-mer nano-antigen or a 60-mer nano-antigen can be formed by means of self-assembly action. The solution can overcome the defect of insufficient immunogenicity of an RBD monomer. The obtained vaccine can significantly increase the level of a neutralizing antibody against a virus in a host, and the resulting antibody has the capability of strongly blocking a virus from invading a target cell.

    摘要: Embodiments relate to peptide antagonists of γc-family cytokines, which is associated with important human diseases, such as leukemia, autoimmune diseases, collagen diseases, diabetes mellitus, skin diseases, degenerative neuronal diseases and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Thus, inhibitors of γc-cytokine activity are valuable therapeutic and cosmetic agents as well as research tools. Traditional approaches to inhibiting γc-cytokine activity involve raising neutralizing antibodies against each individual γc-cytokine family member/receptor subunit. However, success has been limited and often multiple γc-cytokine family members co-operate to cause the disease state. Combinatorial use of neutralizing antibodies raised against each factor is impractical and poses an increased risk of adverse immune reactions. The present embodiments overcome these shortcomings by utilizing peptide antagonists based on the consensus γc-subunit binding site to inhibit γc-cytokine activity. Such approach allows for flexibility in antagonist design. In several embodiments, peptides exhibit Simul-Block activity, inhibiting the activity of multiple γc-cytokine family members.
