Novel Broadly-Neutralizing Anti-HIV Antibody: A Potential Game-Changer in HIV Prevention and Treatment

This groundbreaking technology introduces a highly potent, human anti-HIV antibody that targets a novel epitope, surpassing the efficacy of existing anti-HIV antibodies. With a prolonged half-life, it offers versatile applications, including early-stage HIV treatment, newborn prophylaxis, and vaccine development validation. Collaborative efforts aim to harness its potential for antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against HIV-infected cells.

Monoclonal Antibodies Targeting Bacillus anthracis Lethal Factor: Potential Tools for Anthrax Detection and Intervention

The technology involves the development of monoclonal antibodies produced by hybridomas, including cell lines such as 10G3, 3E6, 10D4, 10G4, 1D8, 13D10, 9E5, and 9F10, which specifically react with Bacillus anthracis Lethal Factor (LF). These monoclonal antibodies offer valuable applications in anthrax detection, therapeutic intervention, and research into the biology of Bacillus anthracis and its lethal toxin. This advancement provides promising tools for mitigating the impact of anthrax infections and advancing our understanding of this deadly pathogen.

Development of SARS-CoV-2 Monoclonal Antibodies for Research, Novel Diagnostics, and Thera
peutics

This technology includes a large panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the spike glycoprotein, capable of recognizing intact SARS-CoV-2 virions with high affinity. Data to support SARS-CoV-2-specific binding include ELISA and label-free (biolayer interferometry) binding measurements using recombinant proteins, immunofluorescence in culture, immunofluorescence staining of tissue from infected patients, and virus neutralization assays.

Novel F(ab’)2 Antibodies for the Detection of Bacillus Anthracis Lethal Factor

This technology includes human F(ab’)2 fragments specific for anthrax lethal factor for the development of a lateral flow immunoassay for Bacillus anthracis Lethal Factor. The F(ab’)2 fragments are generated from a Human Combinatorial Antibody Library (HuCAL) and are highly specific with high affinity. A multi-step process was utilized beginning by screening a phage display library with over 45 billion functional human antibody specificities. The primary screen against Bacillus anthracis Lethal Factor (LF) generated 360 positive clones.

Hybridomas and Mouse Monoclonal Antibodies for Marburg and Lassa Virus Identification

This technology includes eight mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and their corresponding hybridomas used for the Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) detection and identification of Marburg (3) and Lassa (5) virus antigens. Lateral flow assays for hemorrhagic fevers are being developed in response to the Ebola outbreak. Our cocktail can identify different proteins for each virus; Marburg viral proteins 35 and 40 (VP35, VP40) and Lassa nucleoprotein (NP) and glycoprotein (G2). All known Marburg and Lassa viruses can be captured in the ELISA assay.

A Murine IgG1 Monoclonal Antibody with Specificity for Chaetomium globosum Enolase for the Development of Immunoassay Platforms

This technology includes a murine IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb), 1C7, for the detection of Chaetomium globosum. The development of mAb-based detection methods may provide a standardized approach to quantify the target organism(s) using rapid immunoassay platforms. To date, mAbs are not available for Chaetomium species. C. globosum enolase was selected as a candidate biomarker for the detection of this species due to its presence within the cytosol and cell wall. C. globosum enolase was cloned and a recombinant expressed in Escherichia coli for the production of mAbs.

Application Chimeric Antibodies as Training and Quality Management Tools for Serology-based Tests

This technology includes a novel application of chimeric monoclonal antibodies (i.e.animal-human) as substitutes for patient /organism specimens to create standardized training (TP), proficiency testing (PT), quality control (QC), lot-to-lot validation, and new serologic test evaluation and validation panels to support the implementation of quality management systems (QMS) of serology-based tests.

Development of LEAPS Technology in Enhancing Immune Response Against Influenza Virus Infection

The Ligand Epitope Antigen Presentation System (LEAPS) represents a breakthrough in immunotherapeutic technology developed by CEL-SCI Corporation. This technology employs a novel approach to boost the immune system's response to influenza, aiming to treat, manage, or even prevent the illness. By combining LEAPS with a specific peptide from the influenza virus, and administering it intravenously in mice, there's a marked improvement in the immune system's ability to fight off the virus.
