Humoral epitope dominance and immune imprinting by SARS‐CoV‐1 and SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccines
We investigated Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccine candidates expressing the SARS‐CoV‐1 or SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike, as a primary or booster immunization, for their ability to induce antibodies targeting different epitopes on the SARS‐CoV‐2 RBD and broad cross‐reactive or cross‐neutralizing responses in C57BL/6 and antibody humanized (Ig‐humanized) mice ...

Re-Assembly and Analysis of an Ancient Variola Virus Genome
We report a major improvement to the assembly of published short read sequencing data from an ancient variola virus (VARV) genome by the removal of contig-capping sequencing tags and manual searches for gap-spanning reads. The new assembly, together with

Abstract In the context of current global change, variations in water temperature are one of the environmental conditions with serious consequences for marine life, including reproductive processes. In the small spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula, spermatogenesis occurs in spermatocysts composed of synchronously developing germ cells associated ...

Incongruencies in Vaccinia Virus Phylogenetic Trees
Over the years, as more complete poxvirus genomes have been sequenced, phylogenetic studies of these viruses have become more prevalent. In general, the results show similar relationships between the poxvirus species; however, some inconsistencies are ...

Immune modulation by virus-encoded secreted chemokine binding proteins [PDF]
Chemokines are chemoattractant cytokines that mediate the migration of immune cells to sites of infection which play an important role in innate and adaptive immunity. As an immune evasion strategy, large DNA viruses (herpesviruses and poxviruses) encode

Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains under active debate. In this perspective, we explore the hypothesis that a primarily infection‐caused chronic dysregulation and weakening of human innate immunity via the underexpression, degradation, and inactivation of innate immune proteins necessary for direct antimicrobial effects and ...

ABSTRACT Bluetongue (BT) is a non‐contagious, insect‐transmitted disease of wild and domestic ruminants caused by bluetongue virus (BTV). Effective control of BT disease relies on vaccination against prevalent or seasonal serotypes using live attenuated or inactivated vaccines.

LAG‐3+ regulatory T cells suppress the effector but not the proliferative response of naïve cognate antigen‐specific CD4+ T cells in vivo. The suppressed T cells display upregulation of immune checkpoints and downregulation of pro‐inflammatory pathways with enhanced TCR signaling and reduced oxidative metabolism.

A deep learning framework called MolVisGNN is proposed to fuse 3D molecular visual information of drugs with multi‐source features, which proves the importance of 3D molecular visual information of drugs and the advancedness of this model in the field of drug discovery, and provides a reference for how to more comprehensively express small molecule ...

Microparasites and their potential impact on the population dynamics of small cetaceans from South America: a brief review. Document SC/59/DW8, Scientific Committee, International Whaling Commission, Anchorage, Alaska, 4-14 May 2007 [PDF]
We briefly review the pathology, epidemiology and molecular biology of cetacean viruses (including morbilli, papilloma and pox) and Brucella spp. encountered in South America.
