Intradermal vaccination with a phytoglycogen nanoparticle and STING agonist induces cytotoxic T lymphocyte-mediated antitumor immunity.

A critical aspect of cancer vaccine development is the formulation with effective adjuvants. This study evaluated whether combining a cationic plant-derived nanoparticle adjuvant (Nano-11) with the clinically tested STING agonist ADU-S100 (MIW815) could stimulate anticancer immunity by intradermal vaccination. Nano-11 combined with ADU-S100 (NanoST) synergistically activated antigen-presenting cells, facilitating protein antigen cross-presentation in vitro and in vivo.

Serum hepcidin recalibrated values in Mexican schoolchildren by demographic characteristics, nutritional and infection/inflammation status.

Unlabelled: Hepcidin production is regulated by iron concentration, erythropoietic activity, and inflammation. There is no reference method for determining its levels, but results obtained through various methods strongly correlate and can be compared using recalibration equations.

Objective: To describe recalibrated serum hepcidin values at different percentiles in schoolchildren, considering age, sex, inflammatory processes, H.

Characterization of a novel functional porcine CD3CD4CD8αCD8β T-helper/memory lymphocyte subset in the respiratory tract lymphoid tissues of swine influenza A virus vaccinated pigs.

The pig is emerging as a physiologically relevant biomedical large animal model. Delineating the functional roles of porcine adaptive T-lymphocyte subsets in health and disease is of critical significance, which facilitates mechanistic understanding of antigen-specific immune memory responses. We identified a novel T-helper/memory lymphocyte subset in pigs and performed phenotypic and functional characterization of these cells under steady state and following vaccination and infection with swine influenza A virus (SwIAV).

Characterization of the Efficacy of a Split Swine Influenza A Virus Nasal Vaccine Formulated with a Nanoparticle/STING Agonist Combination Adjuvant in Conventional Pigs.

Swine influenza A viruses (SwIAVs) are pathogens of both veterinary and medical significance. Intranasal (IN) vaccination has the potential to reduce flu infection. We investigated the efficacy of split SwIAV H1N2 antigens adsorbed with a plant origin nanoparticle adjuvant [Nano11-SwIAV] or in combination with a STING agonist ADU-S100 [NanoS100-SwIAV].
