Oyster,as a common aquatic food,play an important role in shellfish allergy.In this study,2 tropomyosin(TM)isoforms TM-αand TM-β(TM-α/-β)in Alectryonella plicatula were identified.The sequences of 852 bp encoding 284 amino acids of TM-α/-βand 2 recombinant proteins were obtained,respectively.There were 12 amino acid differences between TM-α/-β.The results of immunological experiments indicated that TM-βhad stronger immunobinding activity and immunoreactivity than those of TM-α.Structural analysis showed that TM-βhad moreα-helix and higher surface hydrophobicity than TM-α.Sequences and epitopes alignment with shellfish TMs revealed that amino acids of TM-βwere more frequently recognized as IgE epitopes in other shellfish TMs than TM-α.Differences in structure and sequence account for the higher immunological activity of TM-βcompared to TM-α.These findings provide a theoretical basis for enriching the understanding of shellfish TM and accurate diagnosis of allergic components. 展开更多

Histamine in food has attracted widespread attention due to the potential toxicity and associated health risk.However,its influences on immunological components,especially the function of key immune cells,are still poorly known.In this work,we explored the effects of exogenous histamine on the function of key immune cells such as intestinal epithelial cells,dendritic cells,and T cells.The results showed that histamine could affect the expression of allergy-related genes in CMT93 cells at a high dose of histamine.Moreover,it’s found that histamine could cause an imbalance in the levels of relevant immune factors secreted by dendritic cells and T cells,especially those related to allergy.At the same time,the proportion of MHC class IIpositive dendritic cells and the proportion of T helper 2(Th2)cells in CD4^(+)T cells increased after histamine stimulation.We concluded that the presence of a certain level of histamine in food may affect the expression of allergy-related cytokines,disrupt the balance of the immune homeostasis,and potentially lead to adverse immune reactions.This work demonstrated the importance of including the estimation of histamine’s immune safety in aquatic products rather than merely considering the potential risk of food poisoning. 展开更多

Pesticide adjuvants,as crop protection products,have been widely used to reduce drift loss and improve utilization efficiency by regulating droplet spectrum.However,the coordinated regulation mechanisms of adjuvants and nozzles on droplet spectrum remain unclear.Here,we established the relationship between droplet spectrum evolution and liquid atomization by investigating the typical characteristics of droplet diameter distribution near the nozzle.Based on this,the regulation mechanisms of distinctive pesticide adjuvants on droplet spectrum were clarified,and the corresponding drift reduction performances were quantitively evaluated by wind tunnel experiments.It shows that the droplet diameter firstly shifts to the smaller due to the liquid sheet breakup and then prefers to increase caused by droplet interactions.Reducing the surface tension of sprayed liquid facilitates the uniform liquid breakup and increasing the viscosity inhibits the liquid deformation,which prolong the atomization process and effectively improve the droplet spectrum.As a result,the drift losses of flat-fan and hollow cone nozzles are reduced by about 50%after adding organosilicon and vegetable oil adjuvants.By contrast,the air induction nozzle shows a superior anti-drift ability,regardless of distinctive adjuvants.Our findings provide insights into rational adjuvant design and nozzle selection in the field application. 展开更多

Immune adjuvants are immune modulators that have been developed in the context of infectious vaccinations.There is currently a growing interest in immune adjuvants due to the development of immunotherapy against cancers.Immune adjuvant mechanisms of action are focused on the initiation and amplification of the inflammatory response leading to the innate immune response,followed by the adaptive immune response.The main activity lies in the support of antigen presentation and the maturation and functions of dendritic cells.Most immune adjuvants are associated with a vaccine or incorporated into the new generation of m RNA vaccines.Few immune adjuvants are used as drugs.Hydroxyapatite(HA)ceramics and azoximer bromide(AZB)are overlooked molecules that were used in early clinical trials,which demonstrated clinical efficacy and excellent tolerance profiles.HA combined in an autologous vaccine was previously developed in the veterinary field for use in canine spontaneous lymphomas.AZB,an original immune modulator derived from a class of heterochain aliphatic polyamines that is licensed in Russia,the Commonwealth of Independent States,and Slovakia for infectious and inflammatory diseases,is and now being developed for use in cancer with promising results.These two immune adjuvants can be combined in various immunotherapy strategies. 展开更多

[Objective] The aim of this study was to realize efficient expression of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) ORF7 gene in genetic engineering bacteria and analYze the immunological activity of the recombinant protein after purification. [ Method] The constructed recombinant expression vector pET-ORF7 was transformed into Escherichia co1BL21 (DE3) and induced by IPTG under the optimal condition. After analysis of SDS-PAGE and Western Blot, the expression products were purified by Ni-NTA His · Bind Resin chrom- atographic column under denaturing condition and renatured by gradient dialysis. Subsequently, the immunological activity of the renatured recombinant protein was detected by Westem Blot and indirect ELISA. [ Result] The recombinant plasmid pET-ORF7 expressed in E. coli successfully, and the fusion protein was in the form of inclusion body. By SDS-PAGE detection, the molecular weight of the expression protein was approximate 33 kD, according with the expectation. Analysis by Bandscan software showed that the expressed fusion protein was about 50% of total bacterial protein of BL21 (DE3). Wastem Blot and indirect ELISA detection showed that the renatured protein could react with PRRSV positive serum specifically, indicating its good immunological activity. [ Conclusion] This study lays a foundation for the preparation of PRRSV monoclonal antibody and diagnostic kit. 展开更多

In this paper, the effects of compound P. igniarius oral liquid’s crude polysaccharide on the immunologic function of mice were studied from four aspects, namely, carbon clearance test of mice, macrophage phagocytosis of chicken red blood cel s in the enterocoelia of mice (semi-in vivo method), the ratio of organ to body weight, natural kil er (NK) cel activity in mice (the determination of lactate de-hydrogenase assay). The results showed that high-dosage group(40 mL/kg) of com-pound P. igniarius oral liquid can obviously enhance the ability of carbon clearance of mice; middle-(20 mL/kg) and high-dosage groups can significantly enhance the phagocytic rate and phagocytic index of chicken erythrocyte of mouse macrophage;low-(10 mL/kg), middle- and high-dosage groups can significantly enhance NK cel activity of mice. These showed that compound P. igniarius oral liquid can enhance mononuclear-macrophage and NK cel activity. In conclusion, compound P. igniarius oral liquid’s polysaccharide can enhance immunologic function and significantly im-prove the specific and nonspecific immunologic function. 展开更多

[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the immunological adjuvant function of aluminium phosphate and chicken IL-18 in NDV F gene vaccine. [Method] The vaccine (0.2 ml) containing aluminum phosphate adjuvant (90 μg), pcDNA/F (200μg), and pcDNA/chlL-18 (200 μg) was prepared. The 7 d old chick- ens to be tested were randomly divided into six groups (12 chickens in each group) and immunized through intramuscular injection with inactivated Newcastle disease vaccines, pcDNA/F+pcDNA/chlL-18+phosphate aluminum, pcDNA/F, pcDNA/F.+pcDNA/ chlL-18, pcDNA/F+aluminum phosphate, and physiological saline respectively; the secondary immunization was conducted with the same dose when the chickens were 21 d old. Their blood was sampled 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 d after first immunization. Anti- body titer was detected with ELISA and T cell transformation rate was measured with MIT. Experimental chicken will be challenged with 30 LD50 NDV virulence 28 d after first immunization. [Result] The survival rate of the chickens immunized with pcDNA/F+aluminium phosphate+pcDNA/chlL-18 achieved 8/12, higher than that of those immunized with pcDNA/F 4/12 and pcDNA/F+pcDNA/chlL-18 (6/12). The NDV antibody titer of the chickens immunized with pcDNA/F+ aluminum phosphate, pcD- NA/F+pcDNA/chlL-18 and pcDNA/F+pcDNA/chlL-18+aluminum phosphate is not differ- ent (P〉0.05), but significantly lower than that of the chickens immunized with tradi- tional vaccine (P〈0.05). The T cell transformation rate of the chickens immunized with pcDNA/F+pcDNA/chlL-18+aluminium phosphate was obviously higher than that of the chickens immunized with pcDNA/F (P〈0.05). The T cell transformation rates of chickens immunized with pcDNA/F and the traditional vaccine showed no signifi- cant difference (P〉0.05). [Conclusion] Combination of aluminium phosphate and pcD- NA/chlL-18 can significantly enhance the immune effect of NDV F gene vaccine. 展开更多

[ Objective] The research aimed to explore effects of an immunological stress on immune response in different breeds of piglets ( Lulai pig, Laiwu pig and Yorkshire pig). [Method] All the 12 weaning pigs (Lulai pig, Laiwu pig and Yorkshire pig) weighing (12.6 ±0.5) kg were used in a 2 x3 factorial design. The main factors consisted of immunological challenge ( LPS or saline) and breeds ( Lulai pig, Laiwu pig and Yorkshire pig). On Day 1, six piglets of each breed were injected with LPS at the usage of 200 μg/kg BW or an equivalent amount of sterile saline, and in jected classical swine fever vaccine at the same time. Blood sample were collected on Day 2, 7 and 14 post injection to analyze the blood lympho cyte proliferation. The levels of antibodies against classical swine fever were tested on Day 1 prior to injection and on Day 7 and 14 post injection. [ Result] On Day 2 after injection, the lymphocyte transformation rate of piglets injected with LPS were significantly (P〈O. 01 ) increased compared with piglets injected with saline. The lymphocyte transformation rate of Laiwu piglets was significant higher than that of Yorkshire piglets ( P 〈 0.05). Effects of immunological stress on the level of antibodies against classical swine fever were not significantly different among different breeds of pig lets. [ Conclusion] LPS can effectively stimulate cellular immunity response in different breeds of piglets, and the immune response ability is different among various breeds of piglets. 展开更多

Adjuvants o... Although beneficial in acute and chronic pain management, the use of local anaesthetics is limited by itsduration of action and the dose dependent adverse effects on the cardiac and central nervous system. Adjuvants or additives are often used with local anaesthetics for its synergistic effect by prolonging the duration of sensory-motor block and limiting the cumulative dose requirement of local anaesthetics. The armamentarium of local anesthetic adjuvants have evolved over time from classical opioids to a wide array of drugs spanning several groups and varying mechanisms of action. A large array of opioids ranging from morphine, fentanyl and sufentanyl to hydromorphone, buprenorphine and tramadol has been used with varying success. However, their use has been limited by their adverse effect like respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting and pruritus, especially with its neuraxial use. Epinephrine potentiates the local anesthetics by its antinociceptive properties mediated by alpha-2 adrenoreceptor activation along with its vasoconstrictive properties limiting the systemic absorption of local anesthetics. Alpha 2 adrenoreceptor antagonists like clonidine and dexmedetomidine are one of the most widely used class of local anesthetic adjuvants. Other drugs like steroids(dexamethasone), anti-inflammatory agents(parecoxib and lornoxicam), midazolam, ketamine, magnesium sulfate and neostigmine have also been used with mixed success. The concern regarding the safety profile of these adjuvants is due to its potential neurotoxicity and neurological complications which necessitate further research in this direction. Current research is directed towards a search for agents and techniques which would prolong local anaesthetic action without its deleterious effects. This includes novel approaches like use of charged molecules to produce local anaesthetic action(tonicaine and n butyl tetracaine), new age delivery mechanisms for prolonged bioavailability(liposomal, microspheres and cyclodextrin systems) and further studies with other drugs(adenosine, neuromuscular blockers, dextrans). 展开更多

Objective This study aimed to characterize the diagnostic and vaccine potential of a novel Mycobacterium tuberculosisantigen Rv0674. Methods To evaluate thediagnostic potential and antigenicity of Rv0674, IgG was evaluated using ELISA and interferon (IFN)-γ was done by using ELISpot assay among TB patients and healthy donors. For immunogenicity evaluation, BALB/c mice were immunized with Rv0674. Cytokine production was determined by cytokine release assay using an ELISA kit, and the antibodies were tested using ELISA. Results The results of serum Elisa tests showed that Rv0674 specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) response was higher in TB patients than negative controls. And Rv0674 had good performance in serological test with sensitivity and specificity of 77.1% and 81.1%, respectively. While it shows poor sensitivity and specificity of 26.23% and 79.69% for IFN-γ tests. In BALB/c mice, Rv0674 adjuvant by DDA/PolyI:C could also induce a high level of IFN-γ, interleukin-2 and interleukin-6 as well as a high IgG titer in both high-and low-dose groups indicating that Rv0674 is essential in humoral and cellular immunity. Moreover, the cytokine profile and IgG isotypecharacterized Rv0674 as a Th1/Th2-mixed-type protective immunity with the predominance of Th1 cytokines. Conclusion Rv0674 may be a good potential candidate for the development of TB serological diagnosis and a new TB vaccine. 展开更多

Significant advances in understanding of immunological and molecular mechanisms have been researched to improve the diagnosis and therapy for patients with ocular inflammatory diseases. Some kinds of ocular diseases are inadequately responsive to current medications;therefore, immunotherapy may be a potential choice as an alternative or adjunctive treatment, even in the prophylactic setting. This article first provides an overview of the immunological and molecular mechanisms concerning several typical and common ocular diseases; second, the functions of immunological roles in some of systemic autoimmunity will be discussed; third, we will provide a summary of the mechanisms that dictate immune cell trafficking to ocular local microenvironment in response to inflammation. 展开更多

AIM:To compare the outcomes of four adjuvants used for internal limiting membrane(ILM)peeling in macular hole surgery,including indocyanine green(ICG),brilliant blue G(BBG),triamcinolone(TA)and trypan blue(TB),through systematic review and random-effects Bayesian network Meta-analysis.METHODS:PubMed,Cochrane library databases and Web of Science were searched until August 2018 for clinical trials comparing the above four adjuvants.ORs for postoperative best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)improvement and primary macular hole closure rates were compared between the different adjuvants.RESULTS:Twenty-seven eligible articles were included.For postoperative BCVA improvement,results of BBGassisted peeling were significantly more favorable than those of ICG(WMD 0.08,95%credible interval 0.01-0.16)and TA ranked highest.No significant differences were found between any other two groups in postoperative BCVA improvement.For postoperative primary macular hole closure rates,BBG ranked highest.However,no significant differences were shown between any two groups.CONCLUSION:TA and BBG are the optimum adjuvants for achieving postoperative BCVA improvement macular hole surgery with adjuvant-assisted ILM peeling.Among all adjuvants,the use of BBG is associated with the highest postoperative macular hole closure rate. 展开更多

Objective To study the therapeutic effectivess of Traditional Chinese Medicine compound mixture Mianbu Fang (Immunological infertility therapy) on immunological infertility caused by antisperm antibody (AsAb) in female mice. Materials & Methods Forty-two female Kunming mice were evenly divided into 7 groups by weight. Group A was control group; Group B was model of infertility. Group C, D and E were fed with normal, half and double dosage of Mianbu I respectively. Group F and G were fed with Mianbu II and prednisone Acetates respectively. Animal model of immunological infertility were set up by injecting mice sperm to the other 36 Kunming female mice except Group A. The AsAb levels in serum, cervical mucus were measured, the histological and immunohistochemistry changes in ovary and endometrium were observed, and the pregnancy indexes were compared in different groups. Results Compared with the infertility model group, the AsAb level in serum and cervical mucus in treatment group was lower. Less immune compounds in ovary and endometrium and atretic follicle of ovary was found in treatment group than in model and control group. The immune compounds in ovary and endometrium were less in the treatment group than that in the model and control group. Conclusion By regulating immunological system, Traditional Chinese Medicine compound mixfang Mianbu Fang lowers AsAb in the circulation system and special organs, eliminates immunological compound, repairs tissue impairment and increases pregnancy of female mice. 展开更多
