To investigate the protective effect of collagen peptide from Micropterus salmoides skin (CPMs) on oxidative damage induced by cyclophosphamide in mice. Balb/c female mice were divided into blank, model (cyclophosphamide, CTX), positive control (levamisole hydrochloride), and collagen peptide low-, medium-, and high-dose groups. The results showed that CPMs increase the body mass and immune-related organ indexes, such as liver and kidneys of immunosuppressed mice. The activities of ALT, AST, UA, BUN, and MDA in the liver and kidney tissues decreased significantly, while those of SOD and GSH-Px increased significantly. CPMs can relieve the pathological damage to immune organs. CPMs significantly increase the activities of IL-2, IgG, and TNF-α in serum and SOD activity, while the MDA content was decreased compared to the model group. CPMs can exert a protective effect on cyclophosphamide-induced oxidative damage and have application prospects in the field of health food.

The efficient and accurate separation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) plays a vital role for disease diagnosis and therapy, but it is always hampered by the huge geometric size and complex structure of IgG. In this work, an amorphous Fe/Co bimetallic organic framework (denoted as PMOF-Fe/Co) is fabricated for IgG separation, with octa-carboxyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OCPOSS) as modulator for the first time. Benefiting from the rigid nanostructure and competitive coordination of OCPOSS, the aperture of PMOF-Fe/Co is enlarged to ∼20 nm along with the generation of enormous structural defects, which enables the accommodation of protein species with high molecular weights and large sizes. OCPOSS is also found exerting a positive impact on mediating the specific recognition and adsorption ability of PMOF-Fe/Co towards IgG through metal affinity, hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions. Consequently, the multimode and multivalent affinity of PMOF-Fe/Co gives rise to an extraordinary adsorption capacity (2691.7 mg g −1 ) and satisfactory practical application performance. This study is convinced to provide a simple avenue for the efficient separation of specific large-sized proteins, as well as the engineering of abiotic affinity reagents with compositional and architectural complexity.

The African swine fever virus (ASFV) continues to pose significant economic and pandemic risks. Consequently, discovering new, efficient vaccines is crucial. Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have emerged as promising candidates, providing minimal risk of insertional mutagenesis, high safety profiles, effectiveness, rapid scalability in production, and cost-effectiveness. In this study, we have developed an ASF p30 mRNA vaccine candidate (mRNA/Man-LNP) employing mannose-modified lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). The mRNA/Man-LNP exhibited effective antigen presentation and facilitated dendritic cells (DCs) maturation. Notably, it elicited strong IgG titers and activated CD4 + and CD8 + T-cells in immunized mice, all while adhering to stringent biosafety standards. This investigation demonstrates that mRNA/Man-LNP can trigger both humoral and cellular immune responses, suggesting its potential as a potent and promising vaccine candidate for controlling African swine fever (ASF).

The objective was to determine the contribution of A. auricular polysaccharides (AAP) in modulating the composition and diversity of the intestinal microbe in mice. AAP was extracted from A. auricula freeze-dried powder and different amounts of AAP (40, 80, 160 mg AAP/kg body weight) were administered to 6 week-old male ICR mice by gavage feeding over a five-week period. AAP feeding changed the intestinal environment in the mice. The pH value of the intestinal compartments decreased while SCFAs concentrations increased in AAP-fed groups, in a dose dependent manner, compared to the controls ( P < .05). High throughput sequencing revealed an enrichment in the diversity and an alteration in the composition of the fecal microbiota in the AAP fed mice with a significant decrease in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio ( P < .05). The relative abundances of Porphyromonadaceae and Bacteroidaceae also increased in the AAP fed mice which positively correlated with an increase in serum IgA and IgG concentrations ( P < .05). The findings from this study show that AAP modulates the mouse gut microbiota and may contribute, at least in part, to some of the reported beneficial effects from the consumption of the mushroom, A. auricula .

To achieve the dual-channel (analog and digital) encoding, microbeads assembled with quantum dots (QDs) and element coding nanoparticles (ECNPs) have been prepared. Dual-spectra, including fluorescence generated from quantum dots (QDs) and laser induced breakdown spectrum obtained from the plasma of ECNPs, including AgO, MgO and ZnO nanoparticles, has been adopted to provide more encoding amounts and more accurate dual recognition for encoded microbeads in multiplexed utilization. The experimental results demonstrate that the single microbead can be decoded in two optical channels. Multiplexed analysis and contrast adsorption experiment of anti-IgG verified the availability and specificity of dual-channel-coded microbeads in bioanalysis . In gradient detection of anti-IgG, we obtained the linear concentration response to target biomolecules from 3.125 × 10 −10 M to 1 × 10 −8 M, and the limit of detection was calculated to be 2.91 × 10 −11 M.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based sensors play an important role in the biological and medical fields, and improving the sensitivity is a goal that has always been pursued. In this paper, a sensitivity enhancement scheme jointly employing MoS2nanoflower (MNF) and nanodiamond (ND) to co-engineer the plasmonic surface was proposed and demonstrated. The scheme could be easily implemented via physically depositing MNF and ND overlayers on the gold surface of an SPR chip, and the overlayer could be flexibly adjusted by controlling the deposition times, thus approaching the optimal performance. The bulk RI sensitivity was enhanced from 9682 to 12,219 nm/RIU under the optimal condition that successively deposited MNF and ND 1 and 2 times. The proposed scheme was proved in an IgG immunoassay, where the sensitivity was twice enhanced compared to the traditional bare gold surface. Characterization and simulation results revealed that the improvement arose from the enhanced sensing field and increased antibody loading via the deposited MNF and ND overlayer. At the same time, the versatile surface property of NDs allowed a specifically-functionalized sensor using the standard method compatible with a gold surface. Besides, the application for pseudorabies virus detection in serum solution was also demonstrated.Keywords:SPR-based biosensor;MoS2nanoflowers;Nanodiamonds;surface engineering;sensitivity enhancement

Straightforward and accurate measurement of medical biomarkers is of essential importance in clinical diagnostics and treatments. However, the major challenge is the diversity in dynamic range of different biomarkers ranging from pg mL −1 to μg mL −1 in various body fluids and tissues among patients. Here, we develop a mesoporous silica (MS)-mediated controllable electrochemiluminescence (ECL) quenching of immunosensor that allows accurate immunoassays with simplicity, sensitivity and tunable sensing range. MS is employed to enhance the sensitivity and tune ECL quenching to broaden the detection range just by altering luminophore (Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ) and coreactant (DBAE) concentration without additional modifications. The immunoassay is followed: homogeneous sandwich immunoreaction, magnetic separation, and ECL quenching detection. As a proof-of-concept, simple and sensitive detection of IgG is achieved ranging from pg mL −1 to μg mL −1 , and applications of the strategy are extended by the combination of ECL immunosensor with commercial ELISA kit. This study will not only be expected to serve as a new avenue for the assay of physiological and clinical implications of immunological biomarkers, but also benefit a wide range of applications that require a tunable detection range and ultrahigh sensitivity.

Hydrophobic charge-induction chromatography (HCIC) has advantages of high capacity, salt-tolerance and convenient pH-controlled elution. However, the binding specificity might be improved with multimodal molecular interactions. New ligand W-ABI that combining tryptophan and 5-amino-benzimidazole was designed with the concept of mutimodal charge-induction chromatography (MCIC). The indole and benzimidazole groups of the ligand could provide orientated mutimodal binding to target IgG under neutral pH, while the imidazole groups could induce the electrostatic repulsion forces for efficient elution under acidic pH. W-ABI ligand was coupled successfully onto agarose gel, and IgG adsorption behaviors were investigated. High affinity to IgG was found with the saturated adsorption capacity of 70.4 mg/ml at pH 7, and the flow rate of mobile phase showed little impact on the dynamic binding capacity. In addition, efficient elution could be achieved at mild acidic pH with high recovery. Two separation cases (IgG separation from albumin containing feedstock and monoclonal antibody purification from cell culture supernatant) were verified with high purity and recovery. In general, MCIC with the specially-designed ligand is an expanding of HCIC with improved adsorption selectivity, which would be a potential alternative to Protein A-based capture for the cost-effective purification of antibodies.

Inorganic nanomaterials that mimic enzymes are fascinating as they potentially have improved properties relative to native enzymes, such as greater resistance to extremes of pH and temperature and lower sensitivity to proteases. Although many artificial enzymes have been investigated, searching for highly-efficient and stable catalysts is still of great interest. In this paper, we first demonstrated that bovine serum albumin (BSA)-stabilized MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) exhibited highly peroxidase-, oxidase-, and catalase-like activities. The activities of the BSA-MnO2 NPs were evaluated using the typical horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrates o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of either hydrogen peroxide or dissolved oxygen. These small-sized BSA-MnO2 NPs with good dispersion, solubility and biocompatibility exhibited typical Michaelis–Menten kinetics and high affinity for H2O2, OPD and TMB, indicating that BSA-MnO2 NPs can be used as satisfactory enzyme mimics. Based on these findings, BSA-MnO2 NPs were used as colorimetric immunoassay tags for the detection of goat anti-human IgG in place of HRP. The colorimetric immunoassay using BSA-MnO2 NPs has the advantages of being fast, robust, inexpensive, easily prepared and with no HRP and H2O2 being needed. These water-soluble BSA-MnO2 NPs may have promising potential applications in biotechnology, bioassays, and biomedicine.

In order to investigate the structural characteristics and immunomodulatory effects of Poria cocos polysaccharides , a water-soluble homogeneous polysaccharide (PCP-2) was isolated by water extraction and alcohol precipitation and further purified by Cellulose DEAE-52 and Sephacryl S-100HR column chromatography . PCP-2 is a heteropolysaccharide composed of glucose, galactose , mannose , and fucose in a molar ratio of 42.0: 35.0: 13.9: 9.1. It exhibits a narrow molecular weight distribution at 2.35 kDa with a branching degree of 37.1 %. The main chain types of PCP-2 include 1,3- β -D-Glc and 1,6- β -D-Glc as the backbone glucans and 1,6- α -D-Gal as the backbone heterogalactan. In vitro experiments demonstrate that PCP-2 directly stimulate RAW264.7 cell proliferation and secretion of inflammatory factors such as NO and TNF- α . In cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced mice, it promotes the development of thymus and spleen immune organs, elevates the blood levels of IgG, IgA, IgM and CD3 + CD4 + T cells , increases the intestinal villus height/ crypt depth ratio and improves gut barrier dysfunctions. These findings suggest that PCP-2 is a natural fungal polysaccharide with broad spectrum of immunoenhancing effects, which can significantly ameliorate the immunocompromised state.

In this paper, a fiber-optic biosensor with the structure of both Au film and Au nanoparticles (AuNps) co-modified on D-shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF) by adhesion with polydopamine (PDA) is proposed and experimentally fabricated, where the electric field near the sensing surface is increased and thus the sensitivity is improved by coupling the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in Au film with the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in Au nanoparticles (AuNps), D-shaped PCF as well as high refractive index of PDA. In addition, due to excellent adhesion and biocompatibility properties of PDA, an extra layer of PDA is modified on the surface of AuNps to anchor a layer of goat anti-rabbit IgG on it, which is a bioassay for rabbit IgG. The experimental results show that the sensor obtains a high sensitivity of 4301.49 nm/RIU in the refractive index (RI) range of 1.335 ~ 1.365, which is 2.4 times the RI sensitivity of the PCF-Au sensor. The bio-sensitivity of the sensor for rabbit IgG reaches 1.017 nm/(µg/ml), and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.019 µg/ml. This sensitized fiber-optic biosensor based on the SPR-LSPR coupling effect has a potential application in clinical disease diagnosis and immunoassay.

In this study, a novel paper-based SERRS immunoassay based on magnetic separation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis reaction was developed. By using modified antibodies conjugated to magnetic beads, capture of mouse IgG followed by addition of ALP-labeled antibodies would form a sandwich-like immunoconjugate. After magnetic separation, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (BCIP), a low SERRS active compound, was added as the substrate for ALP to generate a high SERRS response. Detection was conducted on a silver colloid/PVP/filter paper SERS substrate by spotting a pre-aggregated silver colloid sol onto polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) modified filter paper using a semi-automatic TLC sample applicator. The optimization of the highly SERS active paper-based substrate, dynamic hydrolysis process of BCIP, quantitative detection of IgG, and selectivity of the assay was studied in detail. By taking advantage of magnetic separation in order to decrease the background interference, the selective enzyme reaction involved in producing a highly SERRS active product could detect mouse IgG from 1 to 500 ng mL−1 with a LOD of 0.33 ng mL−1.
