    Abstract Primary Trans Chromosomal Tritipyrum (PTCT) amphiploid is a new cereal grown in saline soil and brackish water for grain and forage production. We evaluated the tolerance to seed deterioration in 13 promising PTCT lines, assessing accelerated aging (AA) tests by using AA boxes with 100% relative humidity at 40 °C for 72 h. The (Ma/b)(Cr/b)F4 and (St/b)(Cr/b)F4) PTCT lines, more sensitive to seed aging, were primed with NaCl, Salicylic Acid (SA), and Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) to increase the seed vigor of artificially aged seeds. Germination and emergence traits, biochemical parameters, and chromosomal abnormalities induced by artificial aging were measured in deteriorated and not-deteriorated seeds. The highest reduction percentages related to seed vigor were observed in (Ka/b)(Cr/b)F2 (34.52) and La(4B,4D)/b (28.15) lines, while the lowest was found in (Ma/b)(Cr/b)F4 (7.65) and (St/b)(Cr/b)F4 (7.46) lines. Seed aging also increases electrolytes, potassium, and protein leakages. Chromosomal abnormalities are caused by seed aging that interferes with chromosome behaviors during cell division. Seed priming on aged seeds revealed an increase in the germination percentage (GP) with PEG treatment, while the priming by SA showed an increase in seedling traits, such as the seedling length (SL2). In conclusion, we highlighted the potential use of different PTCT lines and the effective use of seed priming on deteriorated seed to enhance seed viability and seedling vigor as a useful tool for sustainable agriculture.

    Abstract Purpose: The therapeutic potential of targeting the human epidermal growth factor receptor-3 (ErbB3/HER3) has long been ignored due to impaired tyrosine kinase function and low expression level in tumor cells compared with EGFR and HER2. Although recent investigations have explored the potential benefit of HER3 targeting and several anti-HER3 agents have been developed, there is still a critical need to design and produce more efficient therapeutics. This study was designed to develop tumor inhibitory monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against different extracellular subdomains of HER3.
    Methods: Distinct extracellular subdomains of HER3 (D
    Results: Four anti-D
    Conclusion: Some of the anti-HER3 MAbs produced in this study displayed tumor inhibitory function and may be considered promising candidates for future HER3-targeted cancer therapy.

    Abstract Analytical techniques for detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) in food products and blood serum are of great significance. In this study, a fluorescent aptasensor was developed for sensitive and specific detection of OTA, based on a DNA pyramid nanostructure (DPN) and PicoGreen (PG) dye. The designed aptasensor inherits characteristics of DPN, such as high stability and capacity for PG loading. PG, as a fluorescent dye, could bind to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). In the absence of OTA, the pyramid structure of DPN remains intact, leading to a very strong fluorescence emission. Because of higher affinity of aptamer for its target relative to its complementary strand, upon addition of target, the pyramid structure of DPN is disassembled, leading to a weak fluorescence emission. The presented aptasensor showed high specificity toward OTA with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.135 nM. Besides, the designed sensing strategy was successfully utilized to recognize OTA in serum and grape juice with LODs of 0.184 and 0.149 nM, respectively.

    Abstract Background: Incidence and severity of SARS-CoV2 infection are significantly lower in children and teenagers proposing that certain vaccines, routinely administered to neonates and children may provide cross-protection against this emerging infection.
    Objective: To assess the cross-protection induced by prior measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations against COVID-19.
    Methods: The antibody responses to MMR and tetanus vaccines were determined in 53 patients affected with SARS-CoV2 infection and 52 age-matched healthy subjects. Serum levels of antibodies specific for NP and RBD of SARS-CoV2 were also determined in both groups of subjects with ELISA.
    Results: Our results revealed significant differences in anti-NP (P<0.0001) and anti-RBD (P<0.0001) IgG levels between patients and healthy controls. While the levels of rubella- and mumps specific IgG were not different in the two groups of subjects, measles-specific IgG was significantly higher in patients (P<0.01). The serum titer of anti-tetanus antibody, however, was significantly lower in patients compared to healthy individuals (P<0.01).
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest that measles vaccination triggers those B cells cross-reactive with SARS-CoV2 antigens leading to the production of increased levels of measles-specific antibody.

    Abstract Background: The human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER/ErbB) family-targeted therapies result in a significant improvement in cancer immunotherapy. Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) against HER2 demonstrated a survival benefit for patients; however, drug resistance unavoidably occurs due to the overexpression of HER3, which leads to treatment failure. Effective inhibition of HER3 besides HER2 is thought to be required to overcome resistance and enhance therapeutic efficacy.
    Objective: The present study describes the production and characterization of a novel MAb, designated 1G5D2, which acts as a natural bispecific antibody targeting extracellular domains (ECD) of both HER2 and HER3.
    Methods: In this study, 1G5D2 was produced by hybridoma technology against HER3-ECD, and its structural and functional characteristics were studied by various methodologies, including enzyme linked-immunosorbent assays, flow cytometry, immunoblotting, cell signaling, and cell proliferation assays.
    Results: 1G5D2 specifically binds to both HER2 (subdomain III + IV) and HER3 (subdomain I + II) expressed on tumor cells, and these receptors compete with each other for binding to this MAb. Competition flow cytometry experiments demonstrated that 1G5D2 does not compete with heregulin and recognizes an epitope out of HER3 ligand-binding site. Evaluation of 1G5D2 inhibitory effects in tumor cell lines co-expressing HER2 and HER3 showed that 1G5D2 synergizes with trastuzumab to inhibit both PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways and potently downregulates the proliferation of these tumor cells more efficiently than each MAb alone.
    Conclusion: 1G5D2 is the first reported hybridoma antibody, which acts as a natural HER2/HER3 bispecific antibody. It might potentially be a suitable therapeutic candidate for HER2/HER3 overexpressing cancer types.

    Abstract The coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is initiated by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has imposed critical challenges to global health. Understanding the kinetic of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM and IgG responses in different subsets of COVID-19 patients is crucial to get insight into the humoral immune response elicited against the virus. We investigated IgM and IgG responses against SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) and receptor-binding domain (RBD) of spike protein in two groups of recovered and deceased COVID-19 patients. The levels of IgM and IgG specific to N and RBD proteins were detected by ELISA. N- and RBD-specific IgM was higher in deceased patients in comparison with recovered patients, while there was no significant difference in N- and RBD-specific IgG between the two groups. A significant correlation was observed between IgG and IgM titers against RBD and N, in both groups of patients. These results argue against impaired antibody response in deceased COVID-19 patients.

    Abstract objective (s): The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Pilates on patients with type 2 diabetes Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out in forty patients with a diagnosis of diabetes type 2. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: experimental group (EG) that in addition to the usual care performed eight weeks of pilates exercises and the control group (CG) that continued to receive the usual care and did not undergo any other intervention. Participants evaluated before and one week after the intervention completed. The quality of life questionnaire (CASP-19) and the short-term test (AMTs) were used to collect data. Results: The groups were homogeneous at baseline. According to the statistical analysis, no significant improvement was observed in the EG. Conclusion: The study did not show benefit for pilates group compared to control group. It is suggested that in the future, this study should be carried out with bigger sample size, increasing the intervention time and a specific questionnaire for assessing the quality of life of the elderly.
