Abstract:
... Schwertmannite is an important Fe(III)-oxyhydroxysulfate in acid mine drainage (AMD) polluted areas and its stability depends on surrounding environmental factors and previously bound elements. The treatment and neutralization of AMD normally involve the use of lime, which leads to the discharge of abundant Ca in the mining area. Such an environmental disturbance brings up an important and less co ...

Abstract:
... Environmental acidification impairs microorganism diversity and their functions on substance transformation. Rhodococcus is a ubiquitously distributed genus for contaminant detoxification in the environment, and it can also adapt a certain range of pH. This work interpreted the acid responses from both phenotype and metabolism in strain Rhodococcus biphenylivorans TG9ᵀ (TG9) induced at pH 3. The p ...
... Zero-waste biochar is an emerging tool for carbon neutralization, but the role of biochar in reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions from CWs were controversy and uncertainty. Yet, no previous study has integrated multiple research systems to quantitatively examine biochar-mediated GHGs emission reduction potential in CWs. Here we synthesized 114 studies to quantify biochar-induced declines abi ...

Abstract:
... Environmental exposure to crystalline silica particles can lead to silicosis, which is one of the most serious pulmonary interstitial fibrosis around the world. Unfortunately, the exact mechanism on silicosis is unclear, and the effective treatments are lacking to date. In this study, we aim to explore the molecular mechanism by which interleukin-11 (IL-11) affects silica particles-induced lung in ...

Abstract:
... Japanese encephalitis is prevalent throughout the temperate and tropical regions of Asia and is caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne viral pathogen. The plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) is currently recommended as the gold standard test for detecting human antibodies against JEV. The plaque assay is the most widely used method for detecting infectious virion ...
... The use of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) is a promising approach to HIV-1 treatment. In this work, we evaluate the neutralizing activity of the following HIV-1 bNAbs: VCR07-523, N6, PGDM1400, CAP256-VRC26.25, 10-1074, PGT128, 10E8, and DH511.11P, which are directed to different Env surface epitopes. We used the global panel of HIV-1 pseudoviruses to analyze the bNAbs’ potency and chose t ...

Abstract:
... Anti-SARS-CoV-2-specific serological responses are a topic of ongoing evaluation studies. In the study presented here, the anti-SARS-CoV-2 surrogate neutralization assays by TECOmedical and DiaPROPH -Med were assessed in a head-to-head comparison with serum samples of individuals after vaccination as well as after previous infection with SARS-CoV-2. In case of discordant results, a cell culture-ba ...

Abstract:
... In this study, the duration of immunity following a single-dose vaccination using an attenuated live goatpox vaccine (GTPV/Uttarkashi/1978 strain) was evaluated in goatpox-seronegative goats for 52 months. Long-term immunity was evaluated by clinical protection upon virulent virus challenge and serum neutralization assay applied to serum samples. The rise in the level of GTPV-specific antibodies w ...

... We undertook a Phase 4 clinical trial to assess the effect of time interval between booster doses on serological responses to AVP. The primary objective was to evaluate responses to a single booster dose in two groups of healthy adults who had previously received a complete 4-dose primary course. Group A had received doses on schedule while Group B had not had one for ≥2 years. Secondary objective ...

Abstract:
... Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis and has been associated with a variety of malignancies. In vivo, EBV infects B cells and epithelial cells. However, the current EBV neutralization assays, especially those against B cell infection, are low throughput, laborious and lack of sensitivity. In this study, we optimized the EBV-GFP based micro-neutralization assa ...

Abstract:
... Determination of neutralizing antibody titers is still considered the gold standard for infection protection. A full virus neutralization test (VNT) with replication-competent, infectious SARS-CoV-2, is labor-intensive and requires Biosafety Level 3 certified laboratories. Therefore, several commercial SARS-CoV-2 surrogate virus neutralization tests (sVNTs) have been developed that aim to detect n ...

Abstract:
... The Illinois-Kentucky ore district hosts the largest deposits of fluorite in the USA. A long-standing hypothesis for the formation of the Illinois-Kentucky deposits is that the ore fluid was a sedimentary brine infused with F-rich fluids exsolved from Permian ultramafic magmas. This ore fluid may have had a F concentration between 680 and 4,300 ppm, three orders of magnitude greater than typical F ...
... Like other East African countries, Sudan experienced circulation of more than one topotype of SAT2 foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). In Sudan, topotype XIII of SAT2 virus was recorded in 1977 and 2008 and topotype VII in 2007, 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2017. This work evaluated the impact of such diversity on diagnosis and control. After one or three doses of a vaccine derived from a Sudanese SAT2 v ...
