Formulations to Prevent Neurological Diseases and Disorders, including TBI
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major source of death and long-term physical, cognitive and mental disability worldwide, with roughly 27 million new cases each year. In the U.S. alone, this results in almost 70,000 deaths, annually. Although TBIs can affect people of all ages, the risk of getting a TBI is greatest in adolescents, young adults and...

Drone Deployable Automated Pellet Dispensing System
Black-footed ferrets have become one of the most endangered animals in North America due to the emergence of the sylvatic plague, a flea-borne bacterial disease of wild rodents. To mitigate the loss of this species, a sylvatic plague vaccine (SPV) has been developed in combination with a peanut butter bait for oral administration to wildlife. Current...

Novel Vaccines and Therapeutics Against Melioidosis
Background Melioidosis, also commonly known as Whitmore’s disease, is an infection caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei (B. pseudomallei) that currently has an estimated mortality rate of 54%. This bacteria lives in contaminated soil and surface water, and can be transmitted to humans or animals through direct contact. This bacterium...

Model for TCR Analysis and its Application to TCR-Epitope Binding Prediction and TCR Clustering
T cell receptors (TCRs) play an important role in the adaptive immune system. The ability to accurately predict or characterize binding interactions between TCRs and target antigens, partly because of the vast diversity of TCRs and epitopes, is challenging. While there has been progress in the development of computational models dedicated to this, the...

Increasing the Antigenic Insertion Sites on the Recombinant Immune Complex Platform
Recombinant protein subunit vaccines offer an improved safety profile compared to live attenuated or inactivated vaccines, making them a promising vaccine strategy. These vaccines can further enhance immunogenicity through fusion with IgG-based protein scaffolds, such as immune complex (RIC) platforms. RIC consists of an antibody and antigen complex...

Method for Production of Self-Replicating, Nucleic Acid-Loaded Virus-Like Particles in plants
Vaccines are an essential tool in preventing and controlling many diseases. Most approved vaccines are inactivated or live attenuated type, however, alternative platforms like mRNA and virus-like particles (VLPs) are being increasingly explored and approved because they generate potent immune responses with great safety profiles. VLPs are particularly...

Prediction Algorithm for MHC-bound Peptides & SARS-CoV-2 Peptides for Vaccines
T cell immunity is a fundamental component of the immune response to infections, cancer, and autoimmunity and is strongly impacted by polymorphisms in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein sequences. In particular, allelic MHC-I protein variants have been shown to influence patient outcomes to various viral infections, including SARS-CoV. While...

Platelet Factor 4 as an Antimicrobial Agent
-collapse: collapse; } Antibiotic resistance is arguably one of the biggest threats facing the world today. While widespread misuse of antibiotics in human and animal use has been implicated in the rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, bacteria will still evolve to resist antibiotics even with responsible use. The CDC estimates that there are more...
