These findings demonstrate that <em>S. boulardii</em> can enhance vaccine-induced immune responses against <em>P. sordellii</em>, particularly IgG-mediated immune responses in sheep.

Immunization is commonly regarded as the most efficient method to combat PCV2 infection. The virus's main antigen is the Cap protein, which is encoded by the ORF2 gene. In this investigation, we cloned the PCV2 Cap gene into the pYA3681 plasmid and subsequently electrotransferred it into the delayed lysis <em>Salmonella</em> strain χ11802, ultimately generating the χ11802 (pYA3681-Cap) vaccine candidate strain. We assessed the levels of sIgA and IgG specific to the Cap protein in mice, revealing that their mucosal and humoral immunity had been activated by χ11802 (pYA3681-Cap). The result was a substantial elevation in antibody levels, and a notable reduction in viral load in the immunized group compared to the unvaccinated group. Furthermore, the study revealed a significant decrease in the viral load in the lungs, liver, and spleen of mice inoculated with χ11802 (pYA3681-Cap), in comparison to both the empty carrier group and the phosphate buffered saline control group. This study further investigated the lytic effect of the delayed lysis vaccine vector. The χ11802 (pYA3681-EGFP) strain was undetectable 10 days post-challenge, indicating that the vaccine strain can effectively release the carried exogenous antigen and prevent the residual vaccine strain from spreading and causing pollution in the environment. A successful construction of the χ11802 (pYA3681-Cap) strain expressing the PCV2 Cap protein was executed in this study.

The main measure to control chicken coccidiosis is chemoprophylaxis. However, the concerns of public about the over chemical residues in products and the strict legislation to limit the applications of drugs and the residues in products push chicken farmers to turn to the vaccination strategy to control coccidiosis. While the antigen diversity of <em>Eimeria</em> significantly decreased the traditional live vaccines. The cryptic strains of <em>Eimeria</em>, which have recently appeared and spread widely, can evade all commercial coccidiosis vaccines, thus becoming an emerging threat to global poultry production.

In this article, we reviewed the research progresses on the conserved proteins of <em>Eimeria</em>, including stage conserved proteins, species conserved proteins and both stage and species conserved proteins, with their possible applications in the development of universal subunit vaccines.

However, an observed rise in FPV infections among cats previously vaccinated has prompted our investigation. Our laboratory has identified a specific FPV isolate, FPV-251, which raises concerns about its potential to evade the immune response. To validate this hypothesis, we conducted a correlational study on FPV-251. Ten sera samples were collected from ten cats two months after receiving the vaccine three times. These samples were prepared in the laboratory to assess their ability to neutralize FPV-251. Results indicated that the neutralization titers of the 10 sera ranged from 1:313.7 to 1:1051.0, with an average titer of 1:627.4. Considering the diversity and complexity of clinical practice, we expanded our study to include 86 sera samples collected from cats at the clinic after three-time immunizations. Among these, 8 out of 43 sera collected after one year post three-time immunizations and 5 out of 43 sera collected within one year post three-time immunizations exhibited a neutralization index (NI) of less than 50 against FPV-251. Despite its potential immune evasion capabilities, immunization with inactivated FPV-251 demonstrated effectiveness in providing substantial protection for cats. This was evident from the high levels of sera antibodies against FPV-251 in cats with FPV-251 immunization, as well as their ability to survive and maintain good health after being challenged with FPV-251. Furthermore, sera antibodies from immunized cats displayed the ability to neutralize the other five FPV isolates, indicating a robust cross-protection capacity of the FPV-251 vaccine. Our research findings suggest that although FPV-251 may exhibit certain immune evasion capabilities, it holds significant potential for development into a vaccine to protect pet cats from FPV infection.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101273,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Vaccine","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100067"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772535924000143/pdfft?md5=2542f08281765b25323e9dac727a6ce2&pid=1-s2.0-S2772535924000143-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140406739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective vaccines have been unsuccessful due to the frequent mutation of FIPV and antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) caused by vaccine-induced IgG antibodies (Abs). This study examined the induction of pan-coronavirus IgM Ab in mice and its ameliorating effects in feline FIP using CoV-mMAP8, an octavalent dendrimer composed of multiple antigenic peptides. The 11-amino acid peptide (SAIEDLLFNKV) was designed as the highly conserved region of the fusion peptide at the N-terminus of S2’ subunit of the spike protein found in human and animal coronaviruses and was then conjugated to an octavalent dendrimer to form CoV-mMAP8. After a total of three injections of CoV-mMAP8 into Balb/c mice with α-galactosylceramide (α-GC) co-administered in the second injection, serum titers of IgM Abs increased against the peptide, recombinant spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV, and crude viral antigens of canine coronavirus, porcine endemic diarrhea virus, and FIPV. In contrast, serum titers of IgG Abs did not significantly increase against any antigens. When CoV-mMAP8 was injected into three cats experimentally infected with FIPV, hyperthermia was improved within seven days after the injection with ameliorating inflammatory markers such as the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and the systemic immune-inflammatory index. One cat that showed recurrent hyperthermia received an additional injection of CoV-mMAP8, and clinical improvement was observed again. Postmortem examinations confirmed chronic lesions of FIP in all the cats, providing evidence that FIPV had been successfully infected and treated with CoV-mMAP8 in all the cats. Based on the induction of pan-coronavirus IgM Abs in mice and ameliorating effects in FIP of cats, it is assumed that CoV-mMAP8 has the potential to overcome the challenges posed by variants and ADE in FIPV.
