Paramyxoviruses for Tumor-targeted Immunomodulation: Design and Evaluation Ex Vivo

This protocol describes a detailed workflow for the generation and ex vivo characterization of oncolytic viruses for expression of immunomodulators, using measles viruses encoding bispecific T cell engagers as an example. Application and adaptation to other vector platforms and transgenes will accelerate the development of novel immunovirotherapeutics for clinical...

Optimization of Antigen Preparation for Hemagglutination Inhibition Assay of Newcastle Disease Virus Serology

This article presents a simplified method for preparing 4 hemagglutination units antigen for Newcastle disease virus serological testing. By accurately determining the hemagglutination titer of the antigen, combined with a more rigorous back-titration method, and a well-defined adjustment process, it enhances test efficiency, reduces false positives, and improves disease surveillance in...

Murine Model of Epicutaneously-Induced Immunomodulation

The study demonstrates the role of the skin in modulating immune responses in mice through epicutaneous (EC) immunization. EC immunization with a protein antigen can suppress immune responses in contact hypersensitivity or reverse skin-induced suppression when combined with pathogen-associated molecular patterns. EC immunization shows promise as an effective, needle-free approach to...
