Objective: To express the GST fusion protein, GST-Syntenin1 in E. coli, and to prepare the polyclonal antibody of Syntenin1.
Methods: CDS fragment of Syntenin1 was obtained by RT-PCR from normal mouse brain and subcloned into pGEX-4T-2 to generate pGEX-4T-2-Syntenin1 recombinant. The confirmed recombinant was transformed into the BL21 competent cells and induced with IPTG. The recombinant fusion protein was purified with immobilized Glutathione Sepharose and confirmed by SDS-PAGE. The purified fusion protein was mixed with the Freund's adjuvant, and then injected into New Zealand white rabbits by hypodermic injection. The polyclonal antibody titer and specification were identified by Western blot.
Results: Syntenin1 polyclonal antibody bind Sytenin1 protein specifically and the antiserum tiger reached to 1 : 20 000.
Conclusion: The Syntenin1 polyclonal antibody with high titer and high specificity was prepared successfully. This will be very helpful for the further study on Syntenin1 function and molecule mechanism of cancer metastasis.

Vaccination strategies against HIV-1 aim to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) using prime-boost regimens with HIV envelope (Env) immunogens. Epitope mapping has shown that early antibody responses are directed to easily accessible nonneutralizing epitopes on Env instead of bnAb epitopes. Autologously neutralizing antibody responses appear upon boosting, once immunodominant epitopes are saturated.

There is currently no effective treatment for JE, and all approved Japanese encephalitis vaccine products originated from the JEV genotype III (GIII). In recent years, JEV genotype I (GI) has gradually replaced GIII as the dominant genotype, and a new symptom of peripheral nerve injury (PNI) caused by JEV NX1889 strain has attracted wide attention, in which JEV envelope (E) protein may be involved in early peripheral nerve injury.

Snakebite envenoming remains a devastating and neglected tropical disease, claiming over 100,000 lives annually and causing severe complications and long-lasting disabilities for many more. Three-finger toxins (3FTx) are highly toxic components of elapid snake venoms that can cause diverse pathologies, including severe tissue damage and inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, resulting in life-threatening neurotoxicity. At present, the only available treatments for snakebites consist of polyclonal antibodies derived from the plasma of immunized animals, which have high cost and limited efficacy against 3FTxs.

Reduced function or hypomorphic variants in recombination-activating genes (RAG) 1 or 2 result in a broad clinical phenotype including common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and even adult-onset disease. Milder RAG variants are less characterized. Here we describe the longitudinal course of a milder combined RAG deficiency in 3 of 7 siblings sharing the same RAG2 mutations over a 50-year study.
