The fractional composition of the proteins of the plasmatic membranes of the Ehrlich's tumor cells treated with various drugs was studied with the use of electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. It was shown that the character of the changes in the fractional composition of the plasmatic membrane proteins under the effect of levorin and cyclophosphamide was different. When the drugs were used in combination, summation of the changes induced by every drug alone was observed. Possible causes of the changes in the fractional composition of the membrane proteins are discussed.

Rak jelita grubego (RJG) jest jednym z najczęściej rozpoznawanych nowotworów złośliwych: co roku notowane jest około 1,9 miliona nowych przypadków. Pomimo opracowania metod umożliwiających jego wykrywanie na początkowym etapie choroby i wprowadzenia nowych, skuteczniejszych terapii, RJG plasuje się na drugim miejscu wśród przyczyn zgonów wywołanych nowotworami. Wyniki najnowszych badań podkreślają rolę transporterów kwasów tłuszczowych, tj.

The Junín virus (JUNV) is one of the New World arenaviruses that cause severe hemorrhagic fever. Human transferrin receptor 1 (hTfR1) has been identified as the main receptor for JUNV for virus entry into host cells. To date, no treatment has been approved for JUNV.

Achieving the precise targeting of lentiviral vectors (LVs) to specific cell populations is crucial for effective gene therapy, particularly in cancer treatment where the modulation of the tumor microenvironment can enhance anti-tumor immunity. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is overexpressed on activated tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes, including regulatory T cells that suppress immune responses via FOXP3 expression. We developed PD1-targeted LVs by incorporating the anti-PD1 nanobody nb102c3 into receptor-blinded measles virus H and VSV-G glycoproteins.

Setting up a global SARS-CoV-2 surveillance system requires an understanding of how virus isolation and propagation practices, use of animal or human sera, and different neutralisation assay platforms influence assessment of SARS-CoV-2 antigenicity. In this study, with the contribution of 15 independent laboratories across all WHO regions, we carried out a controlled analysis of neutralisation assay platforms using the first WHO International Standard for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (source: NIBSC). Live virus isolates (source: WHO BioHub or individual labs) or spike plasmids (individual labs) for pseudovirus production were used to perform neutralisation assays using the same serum panels.

The ongoing global health crisis caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) necessitates the continuous development of innovative vaccine strategies, especially in light of emerging viral variants that could undermine the effectiveness of existing vaccines. In this study, we developed a recombinant virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine based on the Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) platform, displaying a stabilized prefusion form of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein. This engineered S protein includes two proline substitutions (K986P, V987P) and a mutation at the cleavage site (RRAR to QQAQ), aimed at enhancing both its stability and immunogenicity.
