Porcine sapovirus (PoSaV) is a potential threat to public health owing to its capacity for reassortment with human sapovirus strains. However, there is still no vaccine available for the prevention and control of this infectious disease. In this study, we developed PoSaV virus-like particles (VLPs) using a baculovirus expression system. Immunization with PoSaV VLPs induced high titers of serum antibody specific for VP1 in sows. The results of our challenge study demonstrated that maternally-derived antibodies (MDA) induced by VLP immunization dramatically reduced viral shedding of PoSaV in the feces of next generation piglets. Therefore, the results of this study indicate that the immune responses of sows elicited by PoSaV VLPs can inhibit in vivo viral replication in their offspring and represent a promising strategy for developing vaccines against PoSaV.

The three SDEs of CLas were expressed in citrus leaves by AuNPs-PEI mediated transient expression system, and promoted the proliferation of CLas and inhibited citrus immunity. Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most severe bacterial disease of citrus caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). CLas suppress host immune responses and promote infection by sec-dependent effectors (SDEs), thus insight into HLB pathogenesis is urgently needed to develop effective management strategies.

Adaptive immune resistance in cancer describes the various mechanisms by which tumors adapt to evade anti-tumor immune responses. IFN-γ induction of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) was the first defined and validated adaptive immune resistance mechanism. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is central to adaptive immune resistance as immune modulatory secreted and integral membrane proteins are dependent on ER.

Introduction: Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) is a common disorder characterized by symptoms resembling those of irritable bowel syndrome. In recent years there has been progress in the understanding of the pathogenic pathways and data suggest that NCGS has a distinct immunological profile that differs from celiac disease (CeD). This has fostered the search for a specific biomarker of NCGS.

Plants possess remarkably durable resistance against non-adapted pathogens in nature. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly understood, and it is unclear how the resistance is maintained without coevolution between hosts and the non-adapted pathogens. In this study, we used Phytophthora sojae (Ps), a non-adapted pathogen of N.

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is an important zoonotic pathogenic virus, which poses serious threats to public health. MPXV infection can be prevented by immunization against the variola virus. Because of the safety risks and side effects of vaccination with live vaccinia virus (VACV) strain Tian Tan (VTT), we constructed two gene-deleted VTT recombinants (TTVAC7 and TTVC5).
