Some serovars of salmonella cause huge global diseases such as enteric fever and invasive non typhoidal Salmonella disease. Flagellin as a key antigenic component of salmonella, can induce humoral and cellular immunity responses. In this research, we performed an opsonophagocytic killing assay (OPKA) as an important mechanism of the host-defense system, for salmonella to study the activity of anti-sera of native FliC, truncated modified recombinant FliC (tmFliC) and full length recombinant FliC proteins (flFliC). Also, the potency of antibodies for inhibiting bacterial movement was evaluated by traditional and newly-designed motility inhibition assay methods. Results showed both recombinant FliC anti-sera and native FliC (nFliC) anti-serum had the ability to opsonize Salmonella typhimurim, which led to bacterial clearance by mice macrophages. Also, inhibition of bacterial motility was observed for all anti-sera. Anti-nFliC and anti-flFliC sera showed higher effects on Salmonella typhimurim motility than that of tmFliC. In traditional method, about 88%, 86% and 80% inhibition were observed by using 5% nFliC, anti-flFliC and anti-tmFliC sera, respectively. In the newly-designed method using SIM (Sulfide indole motility) medium, results confirmed the traditional method for motility inhibition. Our findings suggest that salmonella fliC as a protective antigen may disrupt the flagellum apparatus activity.

African swine fever (ASF) is a transmissible and deadly viral disease caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV) that has considerably affected the global pig industry. Vaccination is considered a potentially effective method to control ASF. However, live attenuated vaccines can't protect against all circulating virus isolates.

Article Synopsis
- Bovine babesiosis, a disease caused by a parasite carried by ticks, poses a global threat to cattle, highlighting the need for new vaccines.
- Researchers identified immune-subdominant (ISD) antigens, specifically rRAP-1 NT and rRRA, which elicited lower antibody responses compared to dominant antigens in previously protected cattle.
- Vaccination of cattle with rRRA and rRAP-1 NT showed promising results, as most immunized animals developed strong immune responses and experienced a delay in sickness symptoms when exposed to the parasite, indicating the potential for these ISD antigens in developing future vaccines.

Acinetobacter baumannii, a common nosocomial pathogen, is known for its rapid acquisition of antimicrobial resistance, underscoring the urgent need to develop an effective vaccine against this pathogen. Outer membrane protein 22 (Omp22) regulates the biogenesis of outer membrane vesicles to transport virulence-promoting factors into the host cells and facilitates the progression of A. baumannii infection.

Salmonella Enteritidis is a major foodborne pathogen throughout the world and the increase in antibiotic resistance of Salmonella poses a significant threat to public safety. Natural nanobodies exhibit high affinity, thermal stability, ease of production, and notably higher diversity, making them widely applicable for the treatment of viral and bacterial infections. Recombinant expression using Lactococcus lactis leverages both acid resistance and mucosal colonization properties of these bacteria, allowing the effective expression of exogenous proteins for therapeutic effects.
