Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic and poses a serious threat to food safety and human health, which makes its surveillance critical. In this study, an indirect competitive ELISA (icELISA) based on a nanobody (Nb M4) was developed for the sensitive and rapid detection of AFM1 in dairy products. In our previous work, Nb M4 was screened from a Bactrian-camel-immunized phage-displayed library.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are widely used in cancer therapy but often show limited efficacy for solid tumors. Enhancing anti-tumor activity by fusing cytokines to tumor-targeting mAbs, which specifically activate immune cells within the tumor microenvironment, represents a promising strategy. However, the optimal design and therapeutic efficacy of antibody-cytokine fusion formats remain unclear.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) cause human respiratory diseases and are major targets for vaccine development. In this study, we design uncleaved prefusion-closed (UFC) trimers for the fusion protein (F) of both viruses by examining mutations critical to F metastability. For RSV, we assess four previous prefusion F designs, including the first and second generations of DS-Cav1, SC-TM, and 847A.

The Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in shrimp secretes toxins A and B (PirA/PirB). These toxins have been implicated in pathogenesis and are targets for developing anti-AHPND therapeutics or prophylactics that include passive immunization. We have previously reported that Ccombodies (recombinant hagfish variable lymphocyte receptor B antibodies; VLRB) targeting PirB conferred protection against V.

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the subsequent pandemic have led to devastating public health and economic losses. The development of highly sensitive, rapid and inexpensive methods to detect and monitor coronaviruses is essential for family diagnosis, preventing infections, choosing treatments and programs and laying the technical groundwork for viral diagnosis. This study established one-step immunoassays for rapid and sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 by using a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) fused to alkaline phosphatase (AP) or NanoLuc (NLuc) luciferase.
