Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity of adjuvanted monovalent rabies virus (RABV)-based vaccine candidates against Ebola virus (FILORAB1), Sudan virus (FILORAB2), Marburg virus (FILORAB3), Lassa virus (LASSARAB1), and combined trivalent vaccine candidate (FILORAB1-3) and tetravalent vaccine candidate (FILORAB1-3 and LASSARAB) in nonhuman primates.

Methods: Twenty-four Macaca fascicularis were randomly assigned into 6 groups of 4 animals. Each group was vaccinated with either a single adjuvanted vaccine, the trivalent vaccine, or the tetravalent vaccine at days 0 and 28. We followed the humoral immune responses for 1 year by antigen-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and RABV neutralization assays.

Results: High titers of filovirus and/or Lassa virus glycoprotein-specific immunoglobulin G were induced in the vaccinated animals. There were no significant differences between immune responses in animals vaccinated with single vaccines vs trivalent or tetravalent vaccines. In addition, all vaccine groups elicited strong rabies neutralizing antibody titers. The antigen-specific immune responses were detectable for 1 year in all groups.

Conclusions: In summary, this study shows the longevity of the immune responses up to 365 days for a pentavalent vaccine-against Ebola virus, Sudan virus, Marburg virus, Lassa virus, and RABV-using a safe and effective vaccine platform.

The increased incidence of inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and tumors in elderly individuals is closely associated with several well-established features of immunosenescence, including reduced B cell genesis and dampened immune responses. Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of dual receptor lymphocytes in tumors and autoimmune diseases. This study utilized shared data generated through scRNA-seq + scBCR-seq technology to investigate the presence of dual receptor-expressing B cells in the peritoneum of mouse and peripheral blood of healthy volunteers, and whether there are age-related differences in dual receptor B cell populations.

Gas therapy represents a promising strategy for cancer treatment, with nitric oxide (NO) therapy showing particular potential in tumor therapy. However, ensuring sufficient production of NO remains a significant challenge. Leveraging ultrasound-responsive nanoparticles to promote the release of NO is an emerging way to solve this challenge.

Background: Evidence has revealed that oestrogen deprivation-induced osteolysis is microbiota-dependent and can be treated by probiotics. However, the underlying mechanism require further investigation. This study aims to provide additional evidence supporting the use of probiotics as an adjuvant treatment and to explore the pathophysiology of oestrogen-deprived osteolysis.

Background: Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play critical roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the locations of PTM-modified sites across protein secondary structures and regulatory patterns in HCC remain largely uncharacterized.

Methods: Total proteome and nine PTMs (phosphorylation, acetylation, crotonylation, ubiquitination, lactylation, N-glycosylation, succinylation, malonylation, and β-hydroxybutyrylation) in tumor sections and paired normal adjacent tissues derived from 18 HCC patients were systematically profiled by 4D-Label free proteomics analysis combined with PTM-based peptide enrichment.
