Developing therapeutics against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) could be guided by the distribution of epitopes, not only on receptor binding domain (RBD) Spike (S) protein but also across full protein. We isolated and characterized monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from 10 convalescent COVID-19 patients. Three mAbs showed neutralizing activities authentic SARS-CoV-2. One mAb, named 4A8, exhibits high neutralization potency both pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 does bind RBD....

Abstract The unprecedented coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic has created a worldwide public health emergency, and there is an urgent need to develop effective vaccine control this severe infectious disease. Here, we find that single vaccination with replication-defective human type 5 adenovirus encoding the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (Ad5-nCoV) protect mice completely against mouse-adapted infection in upper lower respiratory tracts. Additionally, Ad5-nCoV protects ferrets from...

Abstract Evidence for microbial degradation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has previously been reported, but little is known about the degrading strains and enzymes. Here, we isolate a PVC-degrading bacterium from gut insect larvae shed light on PVC pathway using multi-omic approach. We show that an pest, Spodoptera frugiperda , can survive by feeding film, this associated with enrichment Enterococcus Klebsiella other bacteria in larva’s microbiota. A bacterial strain isolated larval intestine...

Abstract Nipah virus (NiV) is a World Health Organization priority pathogen and there are currently no approved drugs for clinical immunotherapy. Through the use of naïve human phage-displayed Fab library, two neutralizing antibodies (NiV41 NiV42) targeting NiV receptor binding protein (RBP) were identified. Following affinity maturation, derived from NiV41 display cross-reactivity against both Hendra (HeV), whereas antibody based on NiV42 only specific to NiV. Results immunogenetic analysis...

Abstract The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) presents a global public health threat. Most research on therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 focused the receptor binding domain (RBD) Spike (S) protein, whereas vulnerable epitopes and functional mechanism non-RBD regions are poorly understood. Here we isolated characterized monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) derived from convalescent COVID-19 patients. An mAb targeting N-terminal...

Abstract Inspired by the timely emergence of silkworm pupae from their cocoons, chrysalis‐like probiotic composites (SCPCs) are developed for comprehensive therapy inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in which probiotics enveloped as “pupa” a sequential layering silk sericin (SS), tannic acid (TA), and polydopamine, akin to protective “cocoon”. Compared unwrapped probiotics, these not only demonstrate exceptional resistance harsh gastrointestinal environment exhibit over 200 times greater...

Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant shows substantial resistance to neutralization by infection- and vaccination-induced antibodies, highlighting the demands for research on continuing discovery of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Here, we developed a panel bnAbs against other variants concern (VOCs) elicited vaccination adenovirus-vectored COVID-19 vaccine (Ad5-nCoV). We also investigated human longitudinal antibody responses following demonstrated how evolved over time. A...

Coinfection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is the most significant risk factor for tuberculosis (TB). The immune responses lung are essential to restrict growth Mycobacterium and avoid emergence disease. Nevertheless, there still limited knowledge about local response in people with HIV-1-TB coinfection.

Lampreys are early jawless vertebrates that the key to understanding evolution of vertebrates. However, lack cytomic studies on multiple lamprey organs has hindered progress in this field. Therefore, present study constructed a comprehensive cell atlas comprising 604,460 cells/nuclei and 70 types from 14 tissue samples. Comparison cellular across species revealed most homologous those jawed We discovered acinar- islet-like populations despite parenchymal lampreys, providing evidence...

Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for increasing incidence of oropharyngeal cancer. At present, there are no biomarkers in the surveillance algorithm HPV-positive cancer (HPV-OPC). HPV16 E6 antibody precedes diagnosis. If indeed primary diagnosis, it similarly expected to precede disease recurrence and may have a potential role as biomarker HPV-OPC. To determine whether HPV titers early markers or prognosis, retrospective pilot study was designed E6, E7, E1, E2 decrease...

The proper route for vaccine delivery plays an important role in activating a robust immune response. Several viral vector-based vaccines against Ebola disease administered intramuscularly have been found to excellent immunogenicity and protectiveness. In this study, we evaluated different routes Ad5-EBOV by comparing humoral cellular responses, germinal center reactions, dendritic cell activation antigen expression. Mice injected with the exhibited advantage expression, leading more while...

Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has become the dominant around world and exhibits immune escape to current COVID-19 vaccines some extent due its numerous spike mutations. Here, we evaluated responses booster vaccination with intramuscular adenovirus-vectored vaccine (Ad5-nCoV), aerosolized Ad5-nCoV, a recombinant protein subunit (ZF2001) or homologous inactivated (CoronaVac) in those who received two doses of 6 months prior. We found that Ad5-nCoV induced potent neutralizing activity...
