Aim: To explore the conditions of solid-phase screening phage antibody library and to provide the experimental basis for the design of screening project.

Methods: Diverse antibodies including HEV NE2-specific and non-specific humanized phage antibodies were used to study the screening conditions, such as the binding time of phage antibodies to antigen, the concentration of coating antigen, the washing times and elution method.

Results: The best binding time of positive phage antibody to antigen was 1 min. The highest positive rate of screening was obtained under the conditions of washing for 20 to 30 times and pH value of the washing solution being 5. The concentration of the coating antigen had no obvious influence on the positive rate of screening. Higher positive rate was obtained by using 10 mg/L antigen to competitively elute for 1 h.

Conclusion: Solid-phase screening of the phage antibody library is a very complex process, in which there are close relationship between the conditions, therefore, appropriate readjustment should be made for screening conditions according to concrete conditions.

We have developed a portfolio of antibody-based modules that can be prefabricated as standalone units and snapped together in plug-and-play fashion to create uniquely powerful multifunctional assemblies. The basic building blocks are derived from multiple pairs of native and modified Fab scaffolds and protein G (PG) variants engineered by phage display to introduce high pair-wise specificity. The variety of possible Fab-PG pairings provides a highly orthogonal system that can be exploited to perform challenging cell biology operations in a straightforward manner.

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) is a porcine enteric coronavirus, outbreaks and epidemics of which have caused huge economic losses to the livestock industry. The disadvantage of existing PEDV vaccines is that the unstable efficacy and high cost limit their widespread use. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a recombinant transgenic vaccine candidate for PEDV.

Hemoglobin, composed of α- and β-chains, is essential for oxygen transport and is key in diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal and blood disorders. It also aids in detecting blood contamination and estimating transfusion volumes. Immunological methods, based on antigen-antibody interactions, are distinguished by their high sensitivity and accuracy.

Selected Mechanisms of Action of Bacteriophages in Bacterial Infections in Animals.

Viruses

January 2025

Department of Veterinary Prevention and Avian Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, 20-033 Lublin, Poland.

Bacteriophages, as ubiquitous bacterial viruses in various natural ecosystems, play an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of the natural microbiota. For many years, bacteriophages were not believed to act on eukaryotic cells; however, recent studies have confirmed their ability to affect eukaryotic cells and interact with the host immune system. Due to their complex protein structure, phages can also directly or indirectly modulate immune processes, including innate immunity, by modulating phagocytosis and cytokine reactions, as well as acquired immunity, by producing antibodies and activating effector cells.

: Bacteriophages are neutralized by the sera of patients undergoing phage therapy (PT), particularly during local or concomitant local and oral phage administration in bone infections, soft tissue infections, or upper respiratory tract infections. The antiphage activity of the sera (AAS) level of 27 patients with bacterial infections such as bone infections, soft tissue infections, or upper respiratory tract infections undergoing PT was performed using the plate phage neutralization test. Our preliminary results suggest that high levels of antiphage antibodies appear late in the treatment period, at the earliest in the 3rd-8th week of PT.
