Article Abstract

Bacteriophages have been explored for their uses in vaccine development, due to the ease of propagation while displaying epitopes in high density. Bacteriophage T7 has been demonstrated to be useful in the production of potential vaccine candidates for various diseases, including influenza A, foot-and mouth disease (FMD), and cancers. In this chapter, we described the use of phage T7 to display potential foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) epitope, from cloning to expression, purification, and immunization in a mouse model.

Background: Whether a detected virus or bacteria is a pathogen that may require treatment, or is merely a commensal 'passenger', remains confusing for many infections. This confusion is likely to increase with the wider use of multi-pathogen PCR.

Objectives: To propose a new statistical procedure to analyse and present data from case-control studies clarifying the probability of causality.

This study aims to investigate the expression of seven cancer testis antigens (MAGE-A1, MAGE-A4, MAGE-A10, MAGE-A11, PRAME, NY-ESO-1 and KK-LC-1) in pan squamous cell carcinoma and their prognostic value, thus assessing the potential of these CTAs as immunotherapeutic targets. The protein expression of these CTAs was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 60 lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), 62 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCA) and 62 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). The relationship between CTAs expression and progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed.

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).

Rabies virus (RABV) is extremely hazardous to both humans and animals, causing up to 100 % death. Accurate and easy-to-use serological evaluation of vaccine potency following immunization is crucial for rabies control. In this study, recombinant RABV glycoprotein (rG) was designed and produced in 293FT cells.
