Unlabelled: , an opportunistic and notorious nosocomial pathogen, is responsible for many infections affecting soft tissues, skin, lungs, bloodstream, and urinary tract, accounting for more than 722,000 cases annually. Despite the numerous advancements in therapeutic options, no approved vaccine is currently available for this particular bacterium. Consequently, this study focused on creating a rational vaccine design using bioinformatics tools.

Introduction: While the general immune response to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is well-understood, the long-term effects of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1/Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (HIV-1/SARS-CoV-2) co-infection on the immune system remain unclear. This study investigates the immune response in people with HIV-1 (PWH) co-infected with SARS-CoV-2 to understand its long-term health consequences.
Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study of PWH with suppressed viral load and SARS-CoV-2 infection was conducted.

Despite recent advances in immunotherapy against B cell malignancies such as BCMA (B cell maturation antigen) and CD19-targeted treatments using soluble T cell-engaging (TCE) antibodies or chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T), there is still an important number of patients experiencing refractory/relapsed (R/R) disease. Approaches to avoid tumor-intrinsic mechanisms of resistance such as immune pressure-mediated antigen downmodulation, are being broadly investigated. These strategies include BCMA/CD19 dual-targeting therapies, which may be of particular interest to patients with B cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma, where a specific double-positive immature subpopulation is commonly associated with poor prognosis and poor response to current treatments.

Introduction: Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) is an emerging zoonotic RNA virus that can cause severe acute encephalitis with high mortality. Currently, there are no effective countermeasures, and the potential risk of a future outbreak requires urgent attention. To address this challenge, the complete genome sequence of BoDV-1 was utilized, and immunoinformatics was applied to identify antigenic peptides suitable for vaccine development.

Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, identified as an ESKAPE pathogen, contributes to severe clinical diseases worldwide and despite its prevalence an effective vaccine or treatment remains elusive. Numerous computational methods are being employed to target hypothetical proteins (HPs). Presently, no studies have predicted multi-epitope vaccines for these HPs.
