Open AccessAIV polyantigen epitope expressed by recombinant baculovirus induces a systemic immune response in chicken and mouse models
The protective efficacy of avian influenza virus (AIV) vaccines is unsatisfactory due to the presence of various serotypes generated by genetic reassortment. Thus, immunization with a polyantigen chimeric epit...

Open AccessFunctional characterization of BmOVOs in silkworm, Bombyx mori
In our previous study, we identified four isoforms of the Bmovo gene, Bmovo-1, Bmovo-2, Bmovo-3 and Bmovo-4 from the silkworm ovary and verified that ovarian development was regulated by the BmOVO proteins. Resul...
