Chicken parvovirus (ChPV) infection can cause runting-stunting syndrome (RSS) in chickens. There is currently no commercially available vaccine for controlling ChPV, and ChPV infection in chickens is widespread globally. The rapid detection of ChPV is crucial for promptly capturing epidemiological data on ChPV. Two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), 1B12 and 2B2, against the ChPV NS1 protein were generated. A double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) was developed for detecting ChPV based on the mAb 1B12 and an anti-chicken polyclonal antibody against the ChPV NS1 protein. The detection limit for the ChPV recombinant pET32a-NS1 protein was approximately 31.2 ng/mL. A total of 192 throat and cloaca swab samples were analyzed for ChPV by the established DAS-ELISA and nested PCR methods. The concordance rate between the DAS-ELISA and the nested PCR method was 89.1%. The DAS-ELISA can detect the ChPV antigen without any cross-reaction with FAdV-4, FAdV-1, NDV, AIV, MS, CIAV, aMPV, EDSV, IBV, or AGV2. The method also has high repeatability, with a coefficient of variation (CV) of less than 5%. These findings indicate that the DAS-ELISA exhibits high accuracy, good sensitivity, and specificity, making it suitable for viral detection, field surveillance, and epidemiological studies.

The influenza A virus nuclear export protein (NEP) is a multifunctional protein that is essential for the viral life cycle and has very high sequence conservation. However, since the open reading frame of NEP largely overlaps with that of another influenza viral protein, non-structural protein 1, it is difficult to infer the functional constraints of NEP based on sequence conservation analysis. In addition, the N-terminal of NEP is structurally disordered, which further complicates the understanding of its function.

Introduction: Dengue viruses cause either symptomatic infections or asymptomatic seroconversion. Symptomatic dengue has a wide clinical spectrum ranging from self-limiting infection to severe manifestations, mostly characterized by plasma leakage with or without hemorrhage. World Health Organization classification in 2009 classified dengue into dengue without warning signs, dengue with warning signs, and severe dengue.

Cyclic peptides are often used as scaffolds for the multivalent presentation of drug molecules due to their structural stability and constrained conformation. We identified a cyclic deca-peptide incorporating lipoamino acids for delivering T helper and B cell epitopes against group A Streptococcus (GAS), eliciting robust humoral immune responses. In this study, we assessed the function-immunogenicity relationship of the multi-component vaccine candidate (referred to as VC-13) to elucidate a mechanism of action.

Mink enteritis virus (MEV) is an important pathogen causing mink viral enteritis. The mechanisms of cell cycle arrest induced by MEV infection and the roles of autophagy in MEV replication remain unclear. In this study, the roles of MEV NS1 protein in inducing cell cycle arrest were investigated, using the in vitro CRFK cell models.

The influenza A virus evades the host innate immune response to establish infection by inhibiting RIG-I activation through its nonstructural protein 1 (NS1). Here, we reported that receptor-transporting protein 4 (RTP4), an interferon-stimulated gene (ISG), targets NS1 to inhibit influenza A virus infection. Depletion of RTP4 significantly increased influenza A virus multiplication, while NS1-deficient viruses were unaffected.
