Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to novel methods and compositions for using engineered reprogramming factor(s) for the creation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) through a kinetically controlled process. Specifically, this disclosure relates to establishing combinations of reprogramming factors, including fusions between conventional reprogramming factors with transactivation domains, optimized for reprogramming various types of cells. More specifically, the exemplary methods disclosed herein can be used for creating induced pluripotent stem cells from various mammalian cell types, including human fibroblasts. Exemplary methods of feeder-free derivation of human induced pluripotent stem cells using synthetic messenger RNA are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A multi-step method is disclosed for efficient selection of antibody or antibody fragments. In addition to the dramatically increased efficiency of finding antibodies against a given immunogen by the invented processes, the novel technology also differs from all previously known technologies in that the antibody or antibody fragments represent the most abundant antibodies induced by the immunogen, therefore having the highest potential of specificity and affinity. Utility of the invention can be found in virtually all areas that involve antibody or T cell receptor selection using any animal, against any immunogen.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding a monomeric green/yellow fluorescent proteins, and fragments and derivatives thereof. Also provided is a method for engineering the nucleic acid sequence, a vector comprising the nucleic acid sequence, a host cell comprising the vector, and use of the vector in a method for expressing the nucleic acid sequence. The present invention further provides an isolated nucleic acid, or mimetic or complement thereof, that hybridizes under stringent conditions to the nucleic acid sequence. Additionally, the present invention provides a monomeric green/yellow fluorescent protein encoded by the nucleic acid sequence, as well as derivatives, fragments, and homologues thereof. Also provided is an antibody that specifically binds to the green/yellow fluorescent protein.
