Genetic polymorphisms at the loci are known to influence the clinical outcome of several different infectious diseases. Best described is the association between the genotype and hepatitis C virus clearance. However, an influence of the genotype on the adaptive immune system was suggested by several studies but never investigated in humans. In this cross-sectional study, we have genotyped 201 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-positive participants for 3 polymorphisms (rs368234815, rs12979860, and rs117648444) and stratified them according to the IFNλ4 activity. Based on this stratification, we investigated the association between the genotype and the antibody as well as the CD8 T cell response in the acute phase of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. We observed no differences in the genotype distribution compared with a Danish reference cohort or the 1,000 Genome Project, and we were not able to link the genotype to changes in either the antibody or CD8 T cell responses of these patients.

Human rhinovirus C (HRV-C) is a significant contributor to respiratory tract infections in children and is implicated in asthma exacerbations across all age groups. Despite its impact, there is currently no licensed vaccine available for HRV-C. Here, we present a novel approach to address this gap by employing immunoinformatics techniques for the design of a multi-epitope-based vaccine against HRV-C.

Object: We aim to explore the immunomodulatory properties of T cells on different titanium nanotubes and the key immunological factors involved in this process.
Methods: Transcriptome data from GEO database of healthy people and healthy implants were used to analyze cell infiltration and factor distribution of adaptive immune using bioinformatics tools. T cells from activated rat were cultured on titanium nanotubes that were prepared by anodization with different diameters (P-0, NT15-30 nm, NT40-100 nm, NT70-200 nm).

The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne virus with a long history of recurring epidemics transmitted through mosquitoes. The rapid spread of CHIKV has intensified the need for potent vaccines. Escherichia coli (), a vital part of human gut microbiota, is utilized in recombinant DNA technology for cloning.

Introduction: T cells are involved in the early identification and clearance of viral infections and also support the development of antibodies by B cells. This central role for T cells makes them a desirable target for assessing the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Methods: Here, we combined two high-throughput immune profiling methods to create a quantitative picture of the T-cell response to SARS-CoV-2.

Background: Despite the availability of vaccination and early treatment, cervical cancer remains a significant public health concern globally, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where access to screening and treatment is often limited.
Methods: In this study, researchers conducted a survey of four international databases-Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Henare-along with Google Scholar to search for gray literature. The keywords used for searching the international databases included "Uterine Cervical Neoplasms [Mesh]," "Survival OR Survival Analysis OR Survival Rate," and "Sub-Saharan countries" (including the names of specific countries).
