MULTIPLE ANTIGENIC PEPTIDE-BASED VACCINES TARGETING IXODES RICINUS NEUROPEPTIDES INDUCE A SPECIFIC ANTIBODY RESPONSE BUT DO NOT IMPACT TICK INFESTATION

Synthetic peptide vaccines were designed to target the neuropeptides innervating Ixodes ricinus salivary glands and hindgut and they were tested for their capacity to afford protective immunity against nymphs or larvae and Anaplasma phagocytophilum-infected nymph infestation, in mice and sheep, respectively.In both models, the assembly of SIFamide

Abstract Improvement of cold tolerance at the booting stage (CTB) in rice is a key strategy for cultivation in high-altitude and high-latitude regions.Here, we identify CTB3 gene, encoding a calmodulin-binding transcriptional activator that positively regulates cold tolerance at the booting stage in japonica rice.Two indels (57-bp and 284-bp) in th
