Recombinant duck enteritis virus bearing the hemagglutinin genes of H5 and H7 influenza viruses is an ideal multivalent live vaccine in ducks by Yubo Zhao, Pucheng Chen, Yuzhen Hu, Jing Liu, Yongping Jiang, Xianying Zeng, Guohua Deng, Jianzhong Shi, Yanbing Li, Guobin Tian, Jinxiong Liu, Hualan Chen

“…Large numbers of unvaccinated ducks play an important role in the transmission of avian influenza viruses from wild birds to domestic poultry, creating a substantial challenge to vaccination strategies for avian influenza control. To solve this problem, we constructed a recombinant duck enteritis virus (DEV), rDEV-dH5/H7, using a live attenuated DEV vaccine strain (vDEV) as a vector. rDEV-dH5/H7 carries the hemagglutinin gene of two H5 viruses [GZ/S4184/17 (H5N6) (clade 2.3.4.4 h) and LN/SD007/17 (H5N1) (clade 2.3.2.1d)] and an H7 virus [GX/SD098/17 (H7N9)]. …”

A pH/MMP-9 smart dual-responsive liposome GBE@LP co-delivers and controls the release of GB1107/BMS1166/Enzalutamide for liver cancer immunotherapy by Shijia Lu, Chenxiao Zhang, Huiru Wu, Junjie Wang, Jinglong Wang, Limei Zhao, Tianyang Ren, Guofei Li

“…CD8+ T cell-based immunotherapy is the most promising option for the treatment of liver cancer, but its application is severely limited by low infiltration and functional exhaustion of CD8+ T cells in liver cancer tissues. To overcome this problem, in this study, pH/matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) dual-responsive liposomes were constructed and co-loaded with a galectin-3 (Gal-3) inhibitor, GB1107, a programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, BMS1166, and an androgen receptor (AR) antagonist, enzalutamide, for immunotherapy studies in liver cancer. …”
