Aggregation-prone peptides modulate activity of bovine interferon gamma released from naturally occurring protein nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2020-02-03)
Efficient protocols for the production of recombinant proteins are indispensable for the development of the biopharmaceutical sector. Accumulation of recombinant proteins in naturally-occurring protein ...
Elucidating the Onset of Cross-Protective Immunity after Intranasal Vaccination with the Attenuated African Swine Fever Vaccine Candidate BA71ΔCD2
(MDPI, 2024-05-09)
African swine fever (ASF) is a deadly disease of swine currently causing a worldwide
pandemic, leading to severe economic consequences for the porcine industry. The control of disease
spread is hampered ...
Heterogeneous Infectivity and Pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 Variants Beta, Delta and Omicron in Transgenic K18-hACE2 and Wildtype Mice
(Frontiers Media, 2022-05-04)
The emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) may display enhanced transmissibility, more severity and/or immune evasion; however, the pathogenesis of these new VOCs in experimental SARS-CoV-2 ...
The effects of environmental enrichment on the physiology, behaviour, productivity and meat quality of pigs raised in a hot climate
(MDPI, 2019-05-13)
European Union (EU) legislation states that the routine tail docking of pigs should not be carried out and that manipulable materials should be made available to all pigs to prevent tail biting and allow ...
Epigenetic regulation of the ELOVL6 gene is associated with a major QTL effect on fatty acid composition in pigs
(BMC, 2015-03-25)
Background: In previous studies on an Iberian x Landrace cross, we have provided evidence that supported the porcine ELOVL6 gene as the major causative gene of the QTL on pig chromosome 8 for palmitic ...
West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne viruses present in Eastern Europe
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-07-06)
Eastern Europe (EE) has been severely affected by mosquito-borne viruses (moboviruses). In
this review, we summarize the epidemiology of moboviruses, with particular attention to
West Nile virus (WNV). ...
Linking stress coping styles with brain mRNA abundance of selected transcripts for Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) juveniles
(Elsevier, 2019-11-01)
In fish, proactive and reactive individual stress copying styles (SCS) have been used to resolve variation in molecular expression data. Stress coping styles have been previously described in several ...
Clinical course impacts early kinetics,magnitude, and amplitude of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies beyond 1 year after infection
(Cell Press, 2022-01-24)
To understand the determinants of long-term immune responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the concurrent impact of vaccination and emerging variants, we follow a ...
Leveraging host-genetics and gut microbiota to determine immunocompetence in pigs
(BMC, 2021-10-24)
Background: The gut microbiota infuences host performance playing a relevant role in homeostasis and function of
the immune system. The aim of the present work was to identify microbial signatures ...
