Mycobacterium tuberculosis heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HBHA), a virulence factor involved in extrapulmonary dissemination and strong diagnostic antigen against tuberculosis, is both surface-associated secreted. The role of HBHA macrophages during M. infection, however, less well known. Here, we show that recombinant produced by smegmatis effectively induces apoptosis murine macrophages. DNA fragmentation, nuclear condensation, caspase activation, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage were...

With the emergence and rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Delta Omicron variants, escaping vaccine-induced immunity is a concern. Three vaccination schedules, homologous or heterologous, have been initially applied due to an insufficient supply vaccines in Korea. We investigated neutralizing activities against variants each schedule. schedules using three doses BNT162b2 (BNT) ChAdOx1 (ChAd) include ChAd-ChAd-BNT, ChAd-BNT-BNT, BNT-BNT-BNT....
