Antibodies Targeting Marburgvirus Glycoproteins and Uses Thereof

NIST Inventors
Thomas Cleveland
Our study describes the discovery and characterization of a diverse panel of antibodies against marburgvirus GP (glycoprotein) induced by multivalent immunization and provides candidate immunotherapeutics for further study and development.

Non-Destructive Concrete Quality Testing System

NIST Inventors
Huaiyu Heather Chen-Mayer
This invention uses prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGAA) to analyze materials, especially concrete, without damaging them. It fires neutrons at the sample, which then emits gamma rays. By measuring those rays, the material's makeup can be identified, including cement, sand, aggregates
(a) Without an aptamer’s protein ligand, dARTs are transcribed to produce RNA outputs (left), while protein binding represses transcription (middle). The input and output domains are decoupled (right), enabling modular design of dARTs by swapping out the aptamer domain or customizing the output sequences. (b) dARTs serve as the protein sensing layer (left) whose outputs can be coupled with downstream circuits (middle). RNA outputs are measured via fluorescence (right).
