A research team's latest study shows that two human antibodies can simultaneously target two Ebola viruses: Ebola and Sudan. These two species have caused the largest and deadliest outbreaks. The new report suggests that researchers could combine these two potent antibodies to create an effective antiviral therapy. The work is published in Cell in the paper, “Asymmetric and non-stoichiometri
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a large enveloped virus of double-stranded DNA among the eight known herpesviruses. After EBV infection of cells, it accumulates in the nucleus, and there are two life cycles, with alternating phases of latency and lysis. EBV infection is associated with a variety of human malignancies and malignant tissue proliferative diseases, including malignant lymphoma, gastric cancer, nasopharyngeal carc
Strongyloides is an opportunistic pathogenic parasitic nematode. Adults parasitize in the small intestine of cats, dogs and humans. The larvae can invade lung, brain, liver, kidney and other tissues and organs, causing strongyloidiasis. The disease is mainly prevalent in warm and humid tropical and subtropical regions. In recent years, due to the continuous increase of HIV/AIDS infection rate in the popula
Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) can cause acute and highly contagious infectious diseases in cats, namely feline infectious rhinotracheitis. In 1958, FHV-1 was isolated and identified for the first time from kittens suffering from respiratory diseases in the United States by Crandell et al. Clinical manifestations include keratoconjunctivitis, upper respiratory tract infection and miscarriage, and upper respiratory tract infection is the m
Mesothelin is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface glycoprotein. Its biological function has not yet been clarified, but due to its limited distribution in normal tissues and high expression in some tumor tissues, it is expected to be used in tumor-specific treatment.
In existing studies of human epidermoid carcinoma cell lines expressing mesothelin, biodistribution analysis of mesothelin usi
