Progress Toward Antigenic Epitopes of African Swine Fever Virus and Their Identification
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious pathogen that causes pigs to develop high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and respiratory distress, with an exceptionally high case fatality rate. Unfortunately, vaccine development is hindered by a limited understanding of the structure and function of the protein encoded by ASFV, as well as the ...

Impedance measurements were used to monitor viral infection of host cells and antibody‐based virus neutralization in real time. The time‐dependent impedance profiles showed a stringent correlation with canonical reporter gene assays (green fluorescence protein) that were performed on exactly the same virus/host cell populations.

Multichannel Lanthanide‐Doped Nanoprobes for Serodiagnosis and Therapy
Here, we further refine the definition of multichannel lanthanide‐doped nanoprobes, discuss their applications in serodiagnosis and therapy, and look ahead to the remaining issues and potential research directions in this research field. Abstract In this account, we will highlight recent progress in the development of multichannel lanthanide‐doped (MC ...
