In Vitro Plasma Protein Binding Determination of Lefamulin by Equilibrium Dialysis and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled With Evaporative Light Scattering Detector.

A credible method utilizing equilibrium dialysis and high-performance liquid chromatography with an evaporative light scattering detector (HPLC-ELSD) was developed to determine the plasma protein binding of lefamulin in swine. The method demonstrated excellent linearity, with a logarithmic calibration curve in the range of 0.1 to 2 μg/mL (r > 0.

The evolution, complexity, and diversity of swine influenza viruses in China: A hidden public health threat.

Swine influenza viruses (SIVs), including H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2, have spread throughout the global pig population. Potential pandemics are a concern with the recent sporadic cross-species transmission of SIVs to humans. We collected 1421 samples from Guangdong, Fujian, Henan, Yunnan and Jiangxi provinces during 2017-2018 and isolated 29 viruses.

Characterization of Canine Gingival-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Exosomes.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be isolated from numerous tissues and have the potential for self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation. Evidence is accumulating which suggests that MSCs are also present in the gingival tissue. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of collecting, purifying, and amplifying gingival-derived MSCs (GMSCs) from canine gingiva and to obtain GMSC-derived exosomes (GMSC-exo).

Protection efficacy of the H1 and H3 bivalent virus-like particle vaccine against swine influenza virus infection.

Swine influenza (SI) is widely prevalent in pig herds worldwide, causing huge economic losses to the pig industry and public health risks. The traditional inactivated swine influenza virus (SIV) vaccines are produced in chicken embryos, and egg-adaptive substitutions that occur during production process can impact vaccine effectiveness. Thus, developing an SI vaccine that can decrease the dependence on chicken embryos with a high immunogenicity is urgently needed.

Protective effect of bivalent H1N1 and H3N2 VLP vaccines against Eurasian avian-like H1N1 and recent human-like H3N2 influenza viruses in a mouse model.

Eurasian avian-like (EA) H1N1 swine influenza viruses (SIVs) are currently the most prevalent SIVs in Chinese swine populations, but recent human-like H3N2 SIV subtypes have also been frequently isolated. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop an effective vaccine against both EA H1N1 and recent human-like H3N2 infections. In this study, we utilized the baculovirus expression system to produce virus-like particles (VLPs) containing hemagglutinin protein (HA) and matrix protein (M1) based on A/Swine/Guangdong/YJ4/2014 (H1N1) and A/swine/Guangdong/L22/2010 (H3N2).

Production of monoclonal antibody against EP0 protein of pseudorabies virus and determination of its recognized epitope.

Early protein 0 (EP0) is especially important for modulating PRV gene expression and reactivation from the latent state, but the mechanisms have not been elucidated. In this study, six monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against EP0 protein of PRV were generated and their characterizations were investigated. Western blot analysis showed all six MAbs could react with immunizing antigen, but only 2B12 and 2C6 could react with native EP0 protein from PRV-infected cells.

Genome sequence of canine parvovirus strain SC02/2011, isolated from a puppy with severe diarrhea in south China.

A widespread hemorrhagic gastroenteritis in young dogs occurred in South China. A virulent field canine parvovirus (CPV) strain, SC02/2011, was isolated from a puppy showing enteric signs in Guangdong, China. The genome of CPV strain SC02/2011 was sequenced and analyzed, which will promote a better understanding of the molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of CPV field isolates in South China.
