Heterogeneity of four lines derived from a single strain of pseudorabies virus (PRV) was studied by isoelectric separation. The individual lines differed in the distribution pattern of infectious fractions separated in the pH range from 3.5 to 10.0. All virus fractions of the virulent and attenuated lines were infectious, but some fractions of the highly attenuated avirulent line were devoid of infectivity. Infectivity of the fractions isolated from the individual PVR lines depended on the degree of attenuation; the higher degree of attenuation, the greater the differences in infectivity of the isolated fractions. The possible causes of the different distribution of infectious fractions obtained by isoelectric separation from virus lines differing in biological properties are discussed. The relationship between physico-chemical and biological properties of PRV is stressed along with the possibilities of applying isoelectric separation in narrow pH gradients.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are renowned for their potent bacteriostatic activity and safety, rendering them invaluable in animal husbandry, food safety, and medicine. Despite their potential, the physiological toxicity of AMPs to host cells significantly hampers their biosynthetic production. This study presents a novel approach for the biosynthesis of the antimicrobial peptide Kiadin by engineering a DAMP4-DPS-Kiadin fusion protein to mitigate host cell toxicity and achieve high-level expression.

Background And Aims: Recently, demands towards identifying various molecules in support of stress detection and potential clinical utilization are dramatically increasing. Moreover, the accuracy with which researchers quantify these informative molecules is now far more improved when compared to the past. As RNA or protein markers are conventionally detected via repeated invasive procedures from blood, it is critical to develop secure technologies to obtain the desired information via less stressful methodologies, such as saliva collection.
