From the patent: The present invention provides the amino acid and nucleotide sequences of a CCV spike gene, and compositions containing one or more fragments of the spike gene and encoded polypeptide for prophylaxis, diagnostic purposes and treatment of CCV infections. — Patent US6372224B1 This is the patent for the spike protein virus, a vaccine…
A helper cell for producing an infectious, replication defective, coronavirus (or more generally nidovirus) particle cell comprises (a) a nidovirus permissive cell; (b) a nidovirus replicon RNA comprising the nidovirus packaging signal and a heterologous RNA sequence, wherein the replicon RNA further lacks a sequence encoding at least one nidovirus structural protein; and (c) at…
Disclosed herein is a newly isolated human coronavirus (SARS-CoV), the causative agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Also provided are the nucleic acid sequence of the SARS-CoV genome and the amino acid sequences of the SARS-CoV open reading frames, as well as methods of using these molecules to detect a SARS-CoV and detect infections…
The invention provides compositions and methods that are useful for preventing and treating a coronavirus infection in a subject. More specifically, the invention provides peptides and conjugates and pharmaceutical compositions containing those peptides and conjugates that block fusion of a coronavirus, such as the SARS virus, to a target cell. This blocking mechanism prevents or…

The present invention relates in part to amino acid sequences that are directed against and/or that can specifically bind to an envelope protein of a virus, as well as to compounds or constructs, and in particular proteins and polypeptides, that comprise or essentially consist of one or more such amino acid sequences. — Patent US9193780B2…
In this interview, Peter Daszak shares his background and how he works. At 8:35, the talk turns toward funding. At 8:55, Vincent Racaniello asks, “How do you pay for all this?” Peter Daszak talks about his history with the wildlife conservation charity. He found it easier to get funding when he tied his work to…
The paper was submitted and then quickly withdrawn. Behind the scenes, Anthony Fauci appears to have been conducting damage control. Sources: For this post, several of the sources have additional notes listed with them under the URLs. The Sources section is always important in this project, but the notes in this post make this section…
Dr Montagnier said that in order to insert an HIV sequence into this genome, molecular tools are needed, and that can only be done in a laboratory. Dr Montagnier also said, Nature does not accept any molecular tinkering; it will eliminate these unnatural changes and even if nothing is done, things will get better, but unfortunately…
The interview cited below was conducted as part of the Stiftung Corona Ausschuss project that is expected to result in a “Nuremberg 2” trial. Reiner Fuellmich is a lawyer for the Stiftung Corona Ausschuss project, and so this could be considered to be a deposition hearing. As Gary D. Barnett said, This recent interview between Dr. David…
