ABSTRACT

Alongshan virus (ALSV), a tick-borne phlebovirus discovered in China, has also
been reported in Russia, Mongolia, Finland, and Germany. While few human cases
primarily experience fever, headache, accompanied by fatigue, coma, depression,
nausea, myalgia/arthralgia, and skin rash, ALSV's high prevalence in domestic
animals and ticks raises concerns about its potential for wider human
transmission in the future. Since most viral infections lack effective drug
treatments, vaccination remains a crucial strategy for preventing viral spread.
This study aimed to design an in-silico multi-epitope vaccine (MEV) against ALSV
using its essential structural proteins (VP1a, VP1b, and VP3). Immunoinformatics
methods were employed to predict T and B cell antigenic determinants within
these proteins, paving the way for a potential ALSV vaccine. The MEV candidate
was constructed by linking selected B and T cell epitopes with suitable linkers
and incorporating beta-defensin as an adjuvant. Following structure prediction
and refinement, the vaccine candidate exhibited an impressive ERRAT stability
score of 97.45% and a minimal RMSD value of only 0.241. Docking simulations with
TLR-4 revealed numerous interacting residues, further confirming the vaccine's
potential interaction with the immune system. In-silico cloning using E. coli as
the host yielded a favorable codon adaptation index (CAI) value of 0.93,
indicating optimal protein expression within this chosen host. Additionally,
molecular dynamics simulations of the vaccine-complex during a 150ns run
suggested a stable environment. Analyses like RMSD, radius of gyration, and RMSF
confirmed minimal changes, primarily in the active site loop region. Moreover,
MMGBSA/PBSA calculations yielded high binding affinities (-226.15 and 227.18
kcal/mol), signifying a strong interaction between the vaccine and its target.
While this study showcases a promising in-silico vaccine design, experimental
validation remains crucial to confirm its efficacy and safety for further
development.

EFFECTS OF VACCINATION AGAINST RECOMBINANT FSH OR LH RECEPTOR SUBUNITS ON

Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) play key roles
in regulating testosterone secretion and spermatogenesis in male mammals,
respectively, and they maintain the fertility of male animals by binding to
their corresponding receptors. We designed and prepared a recombinant LH
receptor (LHR) subunit vaccine and a recombinant FSH receptor (FSHR) subunit
vaccine and used ... [Show full abstract] male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats as a
model to examine their effects on testicular development, spermatogenesis, and
testosterone secretion in prepubertal and pubertal mammals. Both vaccines
(LHR-DTT and FSHR-DTT) significantly decreased the serum testosterone level in
prepubertal rats (p < 0.05) but had no effect on the testosterone secretion in
pubertal rats; both vaccines decreased the number of cell layers in the
seminiferous tubules and reduced spermatogenesis in prepubertal and pubertal
rats. Subunit vaccine FSHR-DTT decreased the sperm density in the epididymis in
both prepubertal and pubertal rats (p < 0.01) and lowered testicular index and
sperm motility in pubertal rats (p < 0.05), whereas LHR-DTT only reduced the
sperm density in the epididymis in pubertal rats (p < 0.05). These results
indicate that the FSHR subunit vaccine may be a promising approach for
immunocastration, but it still needs improvements in effectiveness.

Shigellosis is a severe gastrointestinal disease that annually affects
approximately 270 million individuals globally. It has particularly high
morbidity and mortality in low-income regions; however, it is not confined to
these regions and occurs in high-income nations when conditions allow. The ill
effects of shigellosis are at their highest in children ages 2 to 5, with
survivors often ... [Show full abstract] exhibiting impaired growth due to
infection-induced malnutrition. The escalating threat of antibiotic resistance
further amplifies shigellosis as a serious public health concern. This review
explores Shigella pathology, with a primary focus on the status of Shigella
vaccine candidates. These candidates include killed whole-cells, live attenuated
organisms, LPS-based, and subunit vaccines. The strengths and weaknesses of each
vaccination strategy are considered. The discussion includes potential Shigella
immunogens, such as LPS, conserved T3SS proteins, outer membrane proteins,
diverse animal models used in Shigella vaccine research, and innovative vaccine
development approaches. Additionally, this review addresses ongoing challenges
that necessitate action toward advancing effective Shigella prevention and
control measures.

Francisella tularensis is a facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen that

MULTIVALENT S2-SUBUNIT VACCINES PROVIDE BROAD PROTECTION AGAINST CLADE 1
SARBECOVIRUSES

 * Yoshihiro Kawaoka

The continuing emergence of immune evasive SARS-CoV-2 variants and the previous
SARS-CoV-1 outbreak have accentuated the need for broadly protective
sarbecovirus vaccines. Targeting the conserved S2-subunit of SARS-CoV-2 is a
particularly promising approach to elicit broad protection. Here, expanding on
our previous work with S2-based vaccines, we developed a nanoparticle vaccine
displaying ... [Show full abstract] multiple copies of the SARS-CoV-1 S2
subunit. This vaccine alone, or as a cocktail with a SARS-CoV-2 S2 subunit
vaccine, protected transgenic K18-hACE2 mice from challenges with Omicron
subvariant XBB as well as several sarbecoviruses identified as having pandemic
potential including the bat sarbecovirus WIV1, BANAL-236, and a pangolin
sarbecovirus. Challenge studies in Fc-g receptor knockout mice revealed that
antibody-based cellular effector mechanisms played a role in protection elicited
by these vaccines. These results demonstrate that our S2-based vaccines provide
broad protection against clade 1 sarbecoviruses and offer insight into the
mechanistic basis for protection.
