The experiments on 52 rabbits have been carried out to show the possibility to use Proteus antigen with high content of H-component (H1; H2; H3 Proteus antigens are most frequently found) for active immunization to make highly specific humoral immunity. The optimal scheme of immunization consists of 3 subcutaneous injections in doses of 0.25-0.25-0.5 mg of antigen within 7 days intervals and 0.25 mg dose of single revaccination. The duration of cycle immunization is 14 days.

Chromosomal instability (CIN) is common in solid tumours and fuels evolutionary adaptation and poor prognosis by increasing intratumour heterogeneity. Systematic characterization of driver events in the TRACERx non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cohort identified that genetic alterations in six genes, including FAT1, result in homologous recombination (HR) repair deficiencies and CIN. Using orthogonal genetic and experimental approaches, we demonstrate that FAT1 alterations are positively selected before genome doubling and associated with HR deficiency.

Phage display method is a crucial tool to find novel clinically valuable diabetes-associated autoantigens and identify known autoantigen epitopes that are associated with diabetes and could provide scientific support and guidance for the artificial construction and synthesis of Type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) novel biomarkers. The phage display system was used for the "biopanning" of T1DM serum. Following the sequencing of the phage DNAs, the homologous sequences of the above fusion heptapeptide were further investigated by BLAST to track the origin of the polypeptide sequences.

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are extracellular structures, ranging in size from 10 to 300 nm, produced by Gram-negative bacteria. They can be incorporated into the outer membrane of a recipient's cells, which may enable the transfer of substances with lytic properties. Due to the scarce information regarding the OMVs produced by , the aim of this study was to test the blebbing abilities of the clinical O77 and O78 strains and to determine the blebs' interactions with bacterial cells, including their possible bactericidal activities.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a gastrointestinal disease linked with GIT microbial dysbiosis. The present study has targeted the comparative analysis of virulent factor FadA from gut-associated bacteria of CRC patients () and healthy individuals (). For this purpose, FadA protein sequences of fifteen strains of and four strains of , were retrieved from the UniProt database.
