The COVID-19 outbreak has put more pressure on the labor market, reducing employment opportunities and increasing graduate unemployment. Therefore, this study was undertaken to explore the relationship between social support, work values and job search behavior. The theoretical model was tested using the data collected from 560 Chinese fresh graduates (M = 23.

Background: Most colorectal cancer (CRC) patients are diagnosed at an advanced or metastatic stage with poor prognosis. Ubiquitin-specific protease 6 N-terminal-like protein (USP6NL) with high expression in CRC tissues regulates CRC cell proliferation via Wnt/β-catenin pathway. We hypothesized that USP6NL impacts CRC growth and inhibition of USP6NL may be a novel treatment strategy to improve CRC therapy.

The dissolution of metals within aerosol particles is meaningful to evaluate the bioavailability and mobility of metals. Total suspended particles (TSP) samples were collected in Shanghai. We extracted the water soluble and acid soluble (pH = 2) metals by the mini-recirculation-leach-system and measured their concentrations by the high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

The human adenovirus (HAdV) early protein E1B55K interacts with E4orf6 to form an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, which plays key roles in virus replication. To illustrate the reason for the fastidiousness of HAdV-41 in 293 cells, interaction between heterotypic E1B55K and E4orf6 proteins was investigated. HAdV-5 E1B55K could interact with HAdV-41 E4orf6, and vice versa.

Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV) belong to the family Filoviridae. Filoviruses cause severe filovirus hemorrhagic fever (FHF) in humans, with high case fatality rates, and represent potential agents for bioterrorism and biological weapons. It is necessary to keep surveillance of filoviruses, even though there is no report of their isolation and patients in China so far.

To investigate the morphogenetic process of human adenovirus type 41 (HAdV-41), 293TE cells were infected with purified wild-type HAdV-41, and ultrathin sections of infected cells were prepared and observed under a transmission electron microscope. Results showed that HAdV-41 entered host cells mainly through three ways: non-clathrin-coated pit, clathrin-coated pit, and direct penetration of plasma membrane. In addition, cell microvilli might help HAdV-41 enter cells.

To investigate the components of fibrillous inclusion body (FIB), which was formed in packaging cells during the replication of human adenovirus type 41 (Ad41), Ad41 long fiber knob (LFK) and short fiber knob (SFK) proteins were expressed in prokaryote respectively and then used to immunize BALI mice for preparation of anti-LFK serum and anti-SFK sera. The activity and specificity of anti-LFK and an ti-SFK sera were confirmed with Western blot, indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and immunonegative staining, suggesting these sera could be applied in immuno-colloidal gold labelling electron microscopy (EM). 293TE cells were infected with wild-type Ad41.

Human adenovirus type 41 (HAdV-41) has the potential to be constructed as a gene transfer vector for oral vaccine or gene therapy targeting gastrointestinal tract. Block in release of progeny virus from host cell severely affects the yield during virus amplification. In this study, HAdV-5 adenovirus death protein (ADP) gene was used to replace the open reading frames (ORFs) of the HAdV-41 E3 region to construct a backbone plasmid pAdbone41ADP.

Objective: To investigate the genetic stability of non-replicating recombinant adenovirus which used Ad41 as vector and could express VP6 gene of group A rotavirus during continous passage, in order to develop the vaccine of rotavirus.

Methods: The recombinant adenovirus rvAd41-VP6 (o) was prepared by our laboratory early, it then was continuously propagated on 293TE7 cells for 14 passages. After that samples of the infected cells were collected at every 2 passages for the detection of the integration of the VP6 gene by PCR, and the expression of the target protein was detected by Western Blot analysis.

To determine the ratio of short fiber (sfiber) to long fiber (lfiber) in human adenovirus type 41 (HAdV-41) virions, sfiber and lfiber were expressed in E. coli, quantified, and used as loading standards in Western blot. Densitometric analyses of the standard and target bands indicated that the ratio of sfiber to lfiber in virions was 5.

Human adenovirus type 41 (HAdV-41) is difficult to cultivate under laboratory conditions. Tripartite leader sequence (TPL) of HAdV-41 was cloned, inserted into eukaryotic expression plasmid, and used to establish a HAdV-41 E1B55K-transduced cell line (293TE7). HAdV-41 E1B55K was expressed more abundantly in 293TE7 than in 293E12, an HAdV-41 E1B55K-expressing cell line developed previously.

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), for which no clinically approved vaccine is available yet, is globally a serious pediatric pathogen of the lower respiratory tract. Several approaches have been used to develop vaccines against RSV, but none of these have been approved for use in humans. An efficient vaccine-enhancing strategy for RSV is still urgently needed.

Helper-dependent adenoviral (HDAd) vectors were developed primarily for genetic disease therapy by deleting all coding regions for attenuating the host cellular immune response to adenovirus (Ad) and long-lasting gene expression. Recently Harui et al. reported that HDAd vaccine could stimulate superior transgene-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) and antibody responses via the intraperitoneal route, compared to first-generation adenoviral (FGAd) vaccine.
