Tuberculosis (TB) is the first infectious disease to be screened-out from specified pathogen-free cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis; Mf) using in human pharmaceutical testing. Being in either latent or active stage after exposure to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), the monkey gamma-interferon release assay (mIGRA) was previously introduced for early TB detection. However, a notable incidence of indeterminate results was observed.

Background: Jasmonic acid (JA) is a phytohormone involved in regulating responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Although the JA pathway is well characterized in model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, less is known about many non-model plants. Phytolacca americana (pokeweed) is native to eastern North Americana and is resilient to environmental stress.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are toxic N-glycosylase that act on eukaryotic and prokaryotic rRNAs, resulting in arrest protein synthesis. RIPs are widely found in higher plant species and display strong antiviral activity. Previous studies have shown that PAP and α-MMC have antiviral activity against TMV.

Chemokines are a large family of soluble peptides guiding cell migration in development and immune defense. They interact with chemokine receptors and are essential for the coordination of cell migration in diverse physiological processes. The CXC subfamily is one of the largest groups in the chemokine family and consists of multiple members.
