The detection of Listeria monocytogenes, a Gram-positive food-borne bacterium, helps prevent listeriosis outbreaks, an invasive disease with high mortality rates among immunocompromised individuals. Microbiological culture methods are time-consuming, requiring laboratory infrastructure while molecular techniques expensive and require complex equipments. We have developed point care test (POCT) based on lateral flow immunochromatography, combining anti-Internalin A B antibodies the...

Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA) for antibody detection represent cost-effective and user-friendly tools serology assessment. This study evaluated a new LFIA prototype developed with recombinant chimeric antigen from the spike/S nucleocapsid/N proteins to detect anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies. The evaluation of sensitivity specificity used 811 serum samples 349 hospitalized, SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR positive COVID-19 patients, collected at different time points 193 healthy controls. agreement...

A plant-based heterologous expression system is an attractive option for recombinant protein production because of its based on a eukaryotic high feasibility, and low biological risks. Frequently, binary vector systems are used transient gene-expression in plants. However, plant virus vector-based offer advantages higher yields due to their self-replicating machinery. In the present study, we show efficient protocol using tobravirus, pepper ringspot virus, that was employed severe acute...
