[Expression of influenza A H1N1 and H3N2 viruses Mosaic-HA1 antigens and evaluation of its immunogenicity in mice].

Vaccination is the most effective measure for reducing and preventing influenza and related complications. In this study, we analyzed the mutation trend and the antigen dominant site changes of the amino acid sequence of hemagglutinin subunit 1 (HA1) of human influenza A virus (IAV) in the northern hemisphere from 2012 to 2022. According to the HA1 sequences of A/Darwin/6/2021 (H3N2) and A/Wisconsin/588/2019 (H1N1) recommended by the World Health Organization in the 2022 influenza season in northern hemisphere, we employed the mosaic algorithm to design three Mosaic-HA1 antigens through stepwise substitution.

The extracellular cyclophilin A-integrin β2 complex as a therapeutic target of viral pneumonia.

The acute respiratory virus infection can induce uncontrolled inflammatory responses, such as cytokine storm and viral pneumonia, which are the major causes of death in clinical cases. Cyclophilin A (CypA) is mainly distributed in the cytoplasm of resting cells and released into the extracellular space in response to inflammatory stimuli. Extracellular CypA (eCypA) is upregulated and promotes inflammatory response in severe COVID-19 patients.

[Eukaryotic expression of GP5 and M protein of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and immunogenicity evaluation].

In order to understand the prevalence and evolution of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in China and to develop subunit vaccine against the epidemic lineage, the genetic evolution analysis of PRRSV strains isolated in China from 2001 to 2021 was performed. The representative strains of the dominant epidemic lineage were selected to optimize the membrane protein GP5 and M nucleotide sequences, which were used, with the interferon and the Fc region of immunoglobulin, to construct the eukaryotic expression plasmids pCDNA3.4-IFNα-GP5-Fc and pCDNA3.

Cyclophilin A facilitates influenza B virus replication by stabilizing viral proteins.

Influenza B circulates annually and causes substantial disease burden in humans. However, little is known about the infection mechanisms of influenza B virus (IBV). Here, we find that the host factor cyclophilin A (CypA) facilitates IBV replication by targeting IBV non-structural protein 1 (BNS1) and nucleoprotein (BNP).
