Pseudotyping of VSV with Ebola virus glycoprotein is superior to HIV-1 for the assessment of neutralising antibodies

February 15, 2022 0 Comments

Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus that can cause Ebola virus disease (EVD). It is thought that EVD survivors are protected against subsequent infection with EBOV and that neutralising antibodies to the viral surface glycoprotein (GP) are potential correlates of protection. Serological studies are vital to assess neutralising antibodies targeted to EBOV …

Anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody enhances the protective efficacy of Schistosoma japonicum GST vaccine via inhibition of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells

February 15, 2022 0 Comments

The effect of anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody (anti-CD25 mAb) on the protection efficacy of Schistosoma japonicum 26 kDa GST (glutathione-S-transferase) vaccine was evaluated. Mice were immunized with GST before infection with S. japonicum cercariae and then injected with anti-CD25 mAb. The worm reduction rate was promoted from 24.18% in mice with GST immunization to 47.09% in …

Effect of COVID-19 on Anti-S Antibody Response in Healthcare Workers Six Months Post-Vaccination

February 15, 2022 0 Comments

The current study aimed to determine to what extent prior COVID-19 infection affects the response of specific antibodies following vaccination. The study involved 173 healthcare professionals who completed the two-dose vaccination course with BNT162b2, including 40 who previously experienced clinical COVID-19. The levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 S1S2 IgG (anti-S) and, in some cases, anti-SARS-CoV-S-RBD IgG (anti-S-RBD) …

Secondary immunoglobulin responses of BALB/c mice previously stimulated with goat anti-mouse IgD.

February 15, 2022 0 Comments

Intravenous injection of goat antibodies to mouse IgD (GAMD) into BALB/c mice has been shown to induce vigorous T-cell dependent immunoglobulin responses, particularly of the IgG1 and IgE isotypes. We have confirmed these findings and show that IgA responses are also triggered in this model. Since the study of IgE regulation in allergic individuals is …

An Anti-HER2 Monoclonal Antibody H 2 Mab-41 Exerts Antitumor Activities in Mouse Xenograft Model Using Dog HER2-Overexpressed Cells

February 15, 2022 0 Comments

Overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) has been reported in a variety of cancer types, including breast, lung, gastric, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers. Trastuzumab, a humanized anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb), has been shown to provide significant survival benefits in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer and gastric cancer patients. Previously, an anti-HER2 mAb, H2Mab-41 (IgG2b, …

Preparation of rabbit polyclonal antibody against porcine gasdermin D protein and determination of the expression of gasdermin D in cultured cells and porcine tissues

February 15, 2022 0 Comments

Gasdermin-D (GSDMD) is a member of the gasdermin (Gsdm) protein family, and its cleavage by inflammatory cysteine proteases (caspases, CASPs) is a critical event in cell pyroptosis. The role and functions of GSDMD on mice and humans are widely studied, but its expression, structure, and function in other species are less known. In the present …

Insect Cells-Baculovirus System for the Production of Difficult to Express Proteins: From Expression Screening for Soluble Constructs to Protein Quality Control

February 5, 2022 0 Comments

Rapid preparation of proteins for functional and structural analysis is a major challenge both in academia and industry. The number potential targets continuously increases and many are difficult to express proteins which, when produced in bacteria, result in insoluble and/or misfolded recombinant proteins, protein aggregates, or unusable low protein yield. We focus here on the baculovirus expression vector system …
