Characterization of Immune Responses to RBD‐SD1 Nanoparticle Vaccines Derived From ACE2‐Capable HKU5‐CoV‐2, NeoCoV, and HKU5 Merbecoviruses

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
SpyCatcher‐mi3 nanoparticles presenting HKU5, NeoCoV, and HKU5‐CoV‐2 RBD‐SD1 induced strong, cross‐reactive IgG responses in immunized mice. The surrogate virus neutralization test demonstrated strong activity in sera from homologous vaccination. ABSTRACT Recent discoveries of merbecoviruses such as HKU5, NeoCoV, and HKU5‐CoV‐2 that use angiotensin ...

Insecticide resistance patterns in Uganda and the effect of indoor residual spraying with bendiocarb on kdr L1014S frequencies in Anopheles gambiae s.s.

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroid insecticides has been attributed to selection pressure from long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), and the use of chemicals in agriculture.

A narrow bandgap Schottky heterojunction Fe2N/CeO2 microneedle triggering sonodynamic reactive oxygen species storm for drug‐resistance‐free skin fungal infection

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Inorganic sonosensitizers suffer from inefficient electron‐hole separation, rapid recombination, and wide bandgaps in anti‐fungal applications. We propose MN@Fe2N/CeO2 to directly eliminate fungi without drug resistance. Combining semiconductor CeO2's advantages with Fe2N's high work function and activity enables efficient Schottky heterojunctions ...

Costs of single-phase door-to-door insecticide-treated net mass distribution campaigns in Nigeria: a case study in Ondo and Anambra states

Malaria Journal
Background The distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) through mass campaigns remains a cornerstone of malaria vector control. As new ITN products are introduced to address rising insecticide resistance, understanding the cost of such campaigns ...

Application of commercial ultrafiltration membranes for protein purification by high performance countercurrent membrane purification (HPCMP)

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract High performance countercurrent membrane purification (HPCMP) has emerged as a promising diffusive separation strategy for the purification of recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). However, prior studies employed dialysis membranes, which are designed for diffusive separations but have not been validated for biopharmaceutical ...
