For the 16S-like simulations with 78,132 distinct sequences, we used a maximum-likelihood tree inferred from a non-redundant aligned subset of the full set of 16S sequences ( % identity) by an earlier version of FastTree (1.9) with the Jukes-Cantor model (no CAT). To ensure that the simulated trees were resolvable, which facilitates comparison of methods (but inflates the accuracy of all methods), branch lengths of less than 0.001 were replaced with values of 0.001, which corresponds to roughly one substitution across the internal branch, as the 16S alignment has 1,287 positions. Evolutionary rates for each site were randomly selected from 16 rate categories according to a gamma distribution with a coefficient of variation of 0.7. Given the tree and the rates, sequences were simulated with Rose [34] (link) under the HKY model and no transition bias. To allow Rose to handle branch lengths of less than 1%, we set “MeanSubstitution = 0.00134” and multiplied the branch lengths by 1,000.

To simulate alignments with realistic phylogenies and realistic gaps, we used the COG alignments. In each simulation, we selected the desired number of sequences from a COG alignment, we removed positions that were over 25% gaps, we estimated a topology and branch lengths with PhyML (Guindon and Gascuel 2003 (link)), we estimated evolutionary rates across sites with PHYLIP's proml (
We made the ‘HOM+20,’ ‘HOM+50’ and ‘HOM+100’ datasets by extending each entry of HOM+0 in a way similar to PREFAB (11 (link)). Amino acid sequences similar (E-value < 10−10) to each member of an entry were collected from the SwissProt database (rel. 43) using BLAST (27 (link)) and added to the entry. If more than n (=20, 50 or 100) sequences were collected, we randomly selected n sequences to be added. Only amino acid positions of the sequences that were reported to show significant similarity by BLAST were added. The accuracy of an alignment was measured by the fraction of columns aligned identically to the reference alignment. When we evaluated the accuracy, the n sequences added to the HOM+n were removed.

An organizing principle in many nonparametric testing protocols is that the repetition of an analysis multiple times enables the user to control for multiple testing, or to evaluate the quality of estimators or the optimal values of tuning parameters. Modern confirmatory analyses currently depend on these repeated analyses under various data perturbation schemes, of which resampling, permutations, and Monte Carlo simulations are the most common. For instance the bootstrap uses many thousands of analyses of resampled data to address problems such as statistical stability or bias estimation [69] , and can even provide confidence regions [69] for nonstandard parameters, such as phylogenetic trees [70] . Repeating analyses on permuted data can allow for control of the probability of encountering 1 or more false positives (falsely rejected nulls) among your group of simultaneous hypotheses, also called the Family Wise Error Rate (FWER). For instance, Westfall and Young's permutation-based

The following features are relevant to the disclosed invention(s):
This work demonstrated the fabrication of dipole antennas made from different MXene compositions of Ti3C2, Ti2C, Mo2TiC2 as exemplars of the general MXene family.
The films exemplified here were binder free and fabricated simply from the MXene colloidal solutions in water (MXene ink). Since MXenes can be made in colloidal aqueous and non-aqueous (e.g., organic solvent) solutions, they can be used as ink to print, spray paint, etc. any shape, design and thickness to fabricate very thin, flexible and transparent antennas in one simple step.
Any kind of antenna fabrication method can be employed, for example printing, spraying, coating, painting, rolling MXene clay into films, cutting complicated shapes for different antenna designs.
MXene return loss and peak gain outperformed any synthetic materials. Although MXenes are theoretically not as conductive as copper, the present work showed that MXene outperforms copper, the mostly used and very well-known antenna material. The as synthesized binder free titanium carbide (Ti3C2) MXene film dipole antenna showed a return loss of about 50 dB. The MXene antenna's radiation pattern measurements showed a peak gain similar to the copper dipole antenna. Such a high antenna performance has never been reported for any nanomaterials.
With the variety of MXene composition, it was and will be possible to tune the antenna for different applications.
By controlling the flake size, the bandwidth of the antenna can further be controlled.
Fabricating MXene-polymer composites can protect MXene from oxidation and can further improve its flexibility. In order to make MXenes films mechanically more robust, 2D MXene flakes can be embedded in polymer matrices. Moreover, using a polymer as a matrix can further improve the oxidation resistance of MXenes.

Aim
The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of selected CD40 and CEACAM5 targeting RUBY™ bsAbs to bind both their targets simultaneously as well as their potential cross-reactivity with additional members of the CEA protein family was evaluated by ELISA.
Materials and Methods
96-well plates were coated with 0.5 μg/mL antigen, hCEACAM-1 (2244-CM-050, R&D Systems), hCEACAM-5 (4128-CM-050, R&D Systems), hCEACAM-6 (3934-CM-050, R&D Systems) or CEACAM-8 (9639-CM-050, R&D Systems) in PBS over night at 4° C. After washing in PBS/0.05% Tween 20 (PBST), the plates were blocked with PBST, 2% BSA for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before a second round of washing. RUBY bsAbs, diluted in PBST, 0.5% BSA, were then added and allowed to bind for at least 1 hour at room temperature. After washing, plates were incubated with either 50 μl detection antibody (0.5 μg/ml HRP conjugated goat anti human-kappa light chain, #STAR127P, AbD Serotec) for analysis of binding to CEACAM protein family proteins or 0.5 μg/ml biotinylated hCD40-muIg (504-030, Ancell) followed by HRP conjugated streptavidin (21126, Pierce) for confirmation of dual antigen binding. Finally, a final round of washing was performed and bound complexes detected using SuperSignal Pico Luminescent as substrate and luminescence signals were measured using Fluostar Optima.
Results and Conclusions
All evaluated RUBY™ bsAbs was indeed able to bind to both CD40 and human CEACAM5 simultaneously (
As can be seen in
All in all, it can be concluded that all evaluated RUBY™ bsAbs have the ability to bind CD40 and CEACAM5 simultaneously and a majority of the set was specific for CEACAM5, with no or little detectable binding to other evaluated members of the CEA protein family.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal failure caused by platelet thrombi in the microcirculation of the kidney and other organs. aHUS is associated with defective complement regulation and can be either sporadic or familial. aHUS is associated with mutations in genes coding for complement activation, including complement factor H, membrane cofactor B and factor I, and well as complement factor H-related 1 (CFHR1) and complement factor H-related 3 (CFHR3). Zipfel, P. F., et al., PloS Genetics 3(3):e41 (2007).
The effect of the exemplary fusion protein construct of this disclosure to treat aHUS is determined by obtaining and lysing red blood cells from aHUS patients treated with the exemplary fusion protein construct. It is observed that treatment with the exemplary fusion protein construct is effective in blocking lysis of red blood cells in the patients suffering from aHUS, compared to treatment with a sham control.
