Discovery and development of a safe and efficient COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, STP2104, using a novel capping library screening method

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent a critical avenue for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prevention. We developed a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine encoding a codon-optimized full-length ancestral spike (S) protein with a signal peptide, which employs our

Identification of selective covalent inhibitors of platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 1B2 from the screening of an oxadiazolone-capped peptoid–azapeptoid hybrid library [PDF]

open access: yesBioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2016
A potent and selective inhibitor of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase 1B2 (PAFAH1B2) is described. The compound was derived by improvement of a modest affinity primary hit isolated from the screening of a bead-displayed peptoid-azapeptoid hybrid library tethered to an oxadiazolone 'warhead'.

Epitope screening of the PCV2 Cap protein by use of a random peptide-displayed library and polyclonal antibody

open access: yesVirus Research, 2013
Capsid protein (Cap), the only structural protein of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), is involved in the host protective response and is a target for vaccine development. To find a rapid and easy way to fully map the antigenic epitopes of Cap, purified Cap-specific polyclonal antibodies were used to screen a random heptapeptide phage display library. After

Investigation of Indolglyoxamide and Indolacetamide Analogues of Polyamines as Antimalarial and Antitrypanosomal Agents

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2014
Pure compound screening has previously identified the indolglyoxy lamidospermidine ascidian metabolites didemnidine A and B (2 and 3) to be weak growth inhibitors of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (IC50 59 and 44 μM, respectively) and Plasmodium ...

A novel and safe SmartCap® SC101 to develop the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine STP2104 inducing potent immune responses in humans

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
We have developed a 5′-capping library screening (CLS) method using over 30 different novel cap analogues. The optimal 5′-cap for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccine STP2104 was selected and applied.

Clinical performance of the urine‐based TERT promoter AbsoluteQ Digital PCR for non‐invasive detection of bladder cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
A urine‐based digital PCR assay targeting two hotspot TERT promoter variants detected bladder cancer with high sensitivity and no false positives in this case–control cohort. The streamlined AbsoluteQ workflow outperformed Sanger sequencing and supports non‐invasive molecular testing for bladder cancer detection.

Optimizing photoactivation of PA‐mCherry for optical pooled CRISPR screens

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Photoactivatable PA‐mCherry finds widespread use to optically tag individual cells. However, confocal 405 nm UV laser‐scanning (normal scan) is much less efficient than widefield UV illumination, limiting the use of PA‐mCherry on confocal instruments. We remedy this limitation by reporting that rapid and repeated confocal scanning with a low‐intensity,
