Infectious bursal disease virus(IBD) causes infectious bursal disease (IBD), which infects bursal of chicken and can evoke immune suppression. This study identified the antigenic epitopes of four McAbs to IBDV VP3(HRB-3F, HRB-7B, HRB-7C and HRB-10E)with pepscan. A set of 17 partially overlapping or consecutive peptides (P1-P17) spanning VP3 were expressed for epitope screening by pepscan. Finally, two antigenic epitopes, 109-119aa and 177-190aa of IBDV VP3, were identified by Western blot and ELISA. The peptides on epitopes could react with IBDV, and they had better immunnogenicity. The sequences of epitopes were compared with that of several other IBDV strains in the same region, and was found they were totally homologous. This study showed the two epitopes were novel conserved linear B cell epitopes on the VP3 of IBDV. This study provides basis for the development of immunity-based prophylactic, therapeutic and diagnostic measures for control of IBD and further for structural and functional analysis of IBDV.

Current diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is still challenging. More than one-third of patients with RA could not be accurately diagnosed because of lacking biomarkers. Our recent study reported that scavenger receptor-A (SR-A) is a biomarker for RA, especially for anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP)-negative RA.

The development of tumor vaccines represents a significant focus within cancer therapeutics research. Nonetheless, the efficiency of antigen presentation in tumor vaccine remains suboptimal. We introduce an innovative mRNA-lipid nanoparticle platform designed to express tumor antigenic epitopes fused with the transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn).
