Introduction: In Brazil, three COVID-19 vaccines were among the first widely used (CoronaVac, ChAdOx1, and BNT162b2), which aimed to induce neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against the original SARS-CoV-2 strain. Although effective against severe disease, they showed waning NAb levels and reduced efficacy against variants, prompting booster doses. Thus, it is important to investigate and compare the response induced by these vaccines and boosters.
Methods: In this study, we compare the magnitude, durability, and cross-reactivity of NAbs among vaccinated volunteers in Brazil using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based assay that measures Abs capable of blocking the interaction between the receptor binding domain (RBD) and human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor.
Results: The BNT162b2 two-dose regimen resulted in the highest and most durable NAb levels, followed by ChAdOx1, while those induced by CoronaVac significantly declined over time. Breakthrough infections boosted NAb levels, especially for CoronaVac and ChAdOx1. All vaccines showed reduced neutralizing capacity against Gamma, Delta, and Omicron variants. Booster doses, particularly the first one, significantly increased and maintained NAb levels, including those against Omicron.
Discussion: Our findings provide valuable population-based comparison of NAb levels elicited by different vaccines following primary inoculation and booster doses. Notably, the mRNA vaccine exhibited a strong primary and initial booster NAb response against SARS-CoV-2.

ObjectivesHistorically, vaccines have been administered in the dorsal interscapular region of cats (the 'scruff' of the neck) owing to easy access to the subcutaneous space. In response to concerns about sarcomas developing at injection sites (feline injection site sarcomas [FISSs]), and a possible association between feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) vaccination and the development of FISS, alternative FeLV vaccination sites such as the distal left hindlimb and tail have been proposed by influential vaccination bodies and various key opinion leaders. There is a dearth of evidence, however, to demonstrate the development of a comparable immune response after FeLV vaccination in these sites.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition increasingly linked to microbiota-gut-brain axis dysregulation, yet the causal microbial mediators and molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Based on our previously published ASD cohort, we discovered that depletion of Lactobacillus species in children with ASD correlates with exacerbated gastrointestinal symptoms and social deficits. Maternal immune activation (MIA) during pregnancy has been established as a critical environmental risk factor for ASD.

Objectives: Understanding the antibody response in monkeypox virus (MPXV)-infected and uninfected individuals is essential for developing next-generation MPXV vaccines. This study aimed to characterize neutralizing antibody (NAb) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses in both groups, providing insights into immune protection and vaccine design.
Methods: A recombinant vaccinia Tian Tan (VTT) virus was utilized to develop high-throughput luciferase-reporter-based neutralization and ADCC assays.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is associated with factors such as an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, obesity, diabetes, and chronic inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as well as mutations, which are observed in a broad spectrum of CRC. Additionally, alteration in the composition of the gut microbiome community and metabolism plays a significant role in the development of colorectal cancer and its therapeutic effects. It is well known that treatment with sodium butyrate (NaB), an intestinal microbial metabolite, can induce apoptosis by activating histone deacetylase (HDAC) in cancer cells.
