The purpose of this investigation was to study cellular immunity to parotiditis and measles viruses in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Lymphocytic sensitization to parotiditis and measles viral antigens and insulin was determined by peripheral blood lymphocytic blast-transformation reaction (a morphological method for reaction assessment) In 10 patients with measles, 18 patients with epidemic parotiditis, 52 patients with DM (23 and 29 patients types 1 and 2 DM, respectively), and 46 apparently healthy individuals. The studies revealed lymphocytic sensitization to parotiditis and measles viral antigens and insulin in most patients in the acute phase of infection with a subsequent reduction in the intensity of proliferation until the point of complete cessation during 12 months. Unlike the controls in whom lymphocytic sensitization to the viruses of the family Paramyxoviridae was detected in 3 persons, prolonged antiviral cellular immunity was found in 17 of the 23 patients with type 1 DM and in 25 of the 29 patients with type 2 DM. Thus, prolonged cellular immunity to viral antigens (measles and/or parotiditis) Is associated with diabetes melhtus. The concordance of a lymphocytic response to viral antigens and insulin suggests that the viruses of the family Paramyxoviridae in some persons initiate a cascade of immune reactions leading to the development of diabetes, the tatter's type is determined by the nature of an immune system response to viral antigens and insulin.

The most common STD that triggers cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus. More than 20 types of human papillomavirus (HPV) can induce uterine cervical cancer. Almost all women acquire genital HPV infection soon after their first intercourse, with most of them clearing the virus within 3 years.

The efficient immobilization of capture antibodies is crucial for timely pathogen detection during global pandemic outbreaks. Therefore, we proposed a silica-binding protein featuring core functional domains (cSP). It comprises a peptide with a silica-binding tag designed to adhere to silica surfaces and tandem protein G fragments (2C2) for effective antibody capture.

Adjuvants play a central role in enhancing the immunogenicity of otherwise poorly immunogenic vaccine antigens. Combining adjuvants has the potential to enhance vaccine immunogenicity compared with single adjuvants, although the cellular and molecular mechanisms of combination adjuvants are not well understood. Using the influenza virus hemagglutinin H5 antigen, we define the immunological landscape of combining CpG and MPLA (TLR-9 and TLR-4 agonists, respectively) with a squalene nanoemulsion (AddaVax) using immunologic and transcriptomic profiling.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most common respiratory disease-causing viral agents. Swine infected with PRRSV exhibit severe respiratory symptoms and reproductive failure, leading to significant economic losses. To address this issue, inactivated and live-attenuated vaccines have been developed.
