Fifty-one healthy subjects were selected during the same period as negative control group. Serum antibodies (IgM/IgG) against SARS-CoV-2 were detected using two kinds of colloidal gold kits (A and B kits) and one chemiluminescence kit (C kit). The positive rates of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in different samples from patients with COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The clinical sensitivity of A kit to detect SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM and IgG was 77.88% (81/104) and 65.38% (68/104), respectively, and the clinical specificity was 70.59% (36/51) and 100.00% (51/51). However, the false positive rate in IgM detection was as high as 29.41% (15/51). The sensitivity of B kit to test total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 was 63.46% (66/104), and the clinical specificity was 94.12% (48/51). The clinical sensitivity of C kit to detect SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM and IgG were respectively 31.73% (33/104) and 64.42% (67/104), and the clinical specificity were both 98.04% (50/51). There was a moderate correlation between the detection results of two colloidal gold kits and the chemiluminescence kit with the Kappa values of 0.462 and 0.587 (Z=6.157, P<0.01; Z=7.345, P<0.01). C kit had the highest positive detection rate for IgG, and would be more reliable to be used for IgG detection in COVID-19 patients 14 d after onset. The total positive detection rate of nucleic acid in all types of samples was 63.46% (66/104). The highest positive detection rate was in throat swabs or sputum samples, followed by those in blood samples and anal swabs. No viral nucleic acid was detected in urine samples for the time being. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions \u0000SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies could be detected in the early or late stage of COVID-19. The method of antibody detection has the advantages of shorter detection time, simple operation and high biological safety, indicating that it could be used as a supplementary or auxiliary detection for the diagnosis of suspected COVID-19 cases with negative nucleic acid test results. The chemiluminescence kit has good sensitivity and specificity, and is well recommended for clinical laboratories. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000SARS-CoV-2; Chemiluminescence immunoassay; Colloidal gold immunoaasay; Nucleic acid detection; Performance evaluation; Clinical application","PeriodicalId":10089,"journal":{"name":"Chinese journal of microbiology and immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43173603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells transfected with the recombinant plasmid were induced by IPTG to express the target protein. The recombinant OspA-pep (rOspA-pep) was purified with Ni-IDA resin chromatography and its immunogenicity was analyzed by Western blot. New Zealand white rabbits were immunized with different doses of rOspA-pep (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80 and 100 μg). The titers of specific IgG antibodies in rabbit serum samples before and after immunization were detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). The optimal immune dose was determined according to the antibody titer after immunization. In vitro neutralization test was performed to detect the immune protection of rOspA-pep using serum samples of the optimal immunization group. The optimal dose of rOspA-pep was used to immunize New Zealand white rabbits to observe the changes in antibody titer. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The recombinant plasmid pET-30a-OspA-pep was successfully constructed and highly expressed in host bacteria. Western blot showed that rOspA-pep had obvious antigen-antibody reaction with polyclonal antibody against B. garinii PD91 strain. IFA results showed the titers of IgG antibody in serum samples of rabbits immunized with rOspA-pep increased significantly (up to 1∶2 480) and 40 μg was the optimal dose. The neutralization rates of antibodies induced by 40 μg of rOspA-pep were 100% against 106 strain/ml of representative B. garinii PD91 and Borrelia afzelii (B.afzelii) FP1 strains, 100% against 107 strain/ml of FP1 strain, and 60% against 107 strain/ml of PD91 strain. After immunization with 40 μg rOspA-pep on 1 d and 30 d, the titers of specific IgG antibody in rabbit serum samples reached the peak within two months, and maintained at that level for about 3-4 months before a gradual decline. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions \u0000The 126-274 aa OspA peptide fragment of Chinese B. garinii PD91 strain possessed good immunogenicity and induced antibodies with better in vitro neutralizing activity, which suggested that it could be used as a candidate component of the second generation subunit vaccine in China. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Borrelia garinii; OspA peptide; Cloning and expression; Immunoprotectivity","PeriodicalId":10089,"journal":{"name":"Chinese journal of microbiology and immunology","volume":"40 1","pages":"218-224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47156905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adhesion assay was performed to compare the adhesion ability of lymphocytes to wild-type cells and gene knockout cells.

The percentage of lymphocytes adhereing to wild-type MS1 cells was significantly higher than that to β4galt6 KO cells under inflammatory conditions. The expression of adhesion molecules including intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) and P-selectin on the surface of wild-type MS1 cells was significantly higher than that on β4galt6 KO cells.

Physical injury can cause cell death in eukaryotes. Besides, specific signaling pathway-mediated programmed cell death has attracted increasing attention. Currently, programmed cell death mainly includes apoptosis, programmed necrosis (necroptosis) and pyroptosis. Necroptosis and pyroptosis, as two new ways of programmed cell death, have been found to play a key role in the process of pathogen infection. Both necroptosis and pyroptosis have the characteristics of programmed lytic cell death, but the signaling pathways involved in them have significant differences. This review focused on the morphological characteristics, signal transduction pathways and the role played in the process of pathogen infection of necroptosis and pyroptosis. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Necroptosis; Pyroptosis; Signaling pathway","PeriodicalId":10089,"journal":{"name":"Chinese journal of microbiology and immunology","volume":"40 1","pages":"231-237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43226179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
