First Report of Anthracnose on Tetrapanax papyriferus Caused by Colletotrichum fructicola in China.

Tetrapanax papyriferus is an evergreen shrub native to China and traditionally used as a herbal medicine (Li et al., 2021). In September 2021, a serious leaf spot disease with symptoms similar to anthracnose was extensively observed on T.

[The change of CD4+ CD25high CCR6+ regulatory T cells in breast cancer patients].

Objective: To detect the proportion of CD4+ CD25high CCR6+ regulatory T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and tumor infiltration lymphocytes from breast cancer patients and explore its significance.

Methods: Lymphocytes isolated from blood and tumor mass of breast cancer patients were analyzed for the proportion of CD4+ CD25high CCR6+ regulatory T cells by flow cytometry. The expression of Foxp3 on CD4+ CD25high CCR6+ regulatory T cells, as well as CD45RO, CD44 and CD62L, were also analyzed.

Immunogenicity and immunoprotection of recombinant PEB1 in Campylobacter-jejuni-infected mice.

Aim: To construct a prokaryotic expression vector carrying Campylobacter jejuni peb1A gene and express it in Escherichia coli. Immunoreactivity and antigenicity of rPEB1 were evaluated. The ability of rPEB1 to induce antibody responses and protective efficacy was identified.

Analysis of the CDR3 length repertoire and the diversity of TCR alpha chain in human peripheral blood T lymphocytes.

Analysis of complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) length of T lymphocyte receptors (TCRs) by immunoscope spectratyping technique has been used successfully to investigate the diversity of TCR in autoimmune diseases and infection diseases. In this study, we investigated the patterns of CDR3 length distribution for all 32 TCR AV gene families in human peripheral blood lymphocytes of four normal volunteers by the immunoscope spectratyping technique. It was found that PCR products exhibited an obscure band on 1.
