Abstract:
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is one of the major pathogens currently threatening the global swine industry. The capsid protein (Cap) of PCV2 is a key antigen for developing subunit vaccines. In this study, we established a bioconjugation strategy using chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) to construct a covalently linked PCV2d Cap-COS complex via thiol-maleimide click chemistry. Immunization and challenge experiments in mice demonstrated that when formulated with JLC-3 adjuvant, the PCV2d Cap-COS complex induced stronger and more durable specific immune responses, significantly improved the average daily weight gain postchallenge, and effectively alleviated histopathological damage in the lungs and kidneys. These findings indicate that the PCV2d Cap-COS complex enhances both antigen structure and immunogenicity, offering a novel strategy and experimental evidence for developing high-efficacy PCV2d subunit vaccines.

Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
