To establish a highly specific,sensitive,and efficient method for detecting antibodies a-gainst the Erns protein of classical swine fever virus(CSFV),and to distinguish CSFV vaccine strains from wild strains infections in combination with the E2 subunit vaccine.The purified Erns protein of the CSFV expressed by baculovirus was conjugated to carboxylated magnetic beads as a solid-phase carrier and horseradish peroxidase(HRP),separately.A double-antigen sandwich chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay(CLEIA)was developed by optimizing various reaction parameters using a fully automated chemiluminescence analyzer.This method was then applied to quantitatively detect Erns protein antibodies in sera from pigs infected with prevalent strains and those immunized with the CSFV E2 subunit vaccine and challenged with field strains.The results showed that the optimal conditions for coupling protein-to-magnetic bead were as follows:coupling buffer pH of 8.0,a protein coupling amount of 2.5 mg/g,blocking solution of 10%BSA,serum sample volume of 20 μL.The optimal dilution of enzyme-labeled antigen was at 1:500 with a one-step reaction time of 15 minutes.The cutoff value of the established CLEIA method for detecting CSFV Erns protein antibodies was 5.83 U/mL and a diagnostic sensitivity of 1:128.No cross-reac-tivity was observed with positive sera against African swine fever virus,pseudorabies virus,porcine circovirus type 2,porcine epidemic diarrhea virus,porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus,or porcine gastroenteritis virus.Additionally,the method yielded negative results with sera from pigs immunized with the E2 subunit vaccine.In repeatability tests,the intra-assay coefficient of variation(CV)ranged from 0.77%to 11.56%,and the inter-assay CV ranged from 10.30%to 14.55%,both below 15%.The positive and negative concordance rates with a commercial CSFV Erns protein antibody detection kit were 95.24%and 92.71%,separately,with an overall concord-ance rate of 93.23%.The double-antigen sandwich chemiluminescence method established in this study exhibits high sensitivity,excellent repeatability,and suitability for automated detection,making it applicable for serological differentiation between CSFV E2 subunit vaccination and infec-tion with prevalent strains.

The biodiversity of the mycobiome, an important component of the oral microbial community, and the roles of fungal-bacterial and fungal-immune system interactions in the pathogenesis of oral lichen planus (OLP) remain largely uncharacterized. In this study, we sequenced the salivary mycobiome and bacteriome associated with OLP. First, we described the dysbiosis of the microbiome in OLP patients, which exhibits lower levels of fungi and higher levels of bacteria. Significantly higher abundances of the fungi Candida and Aspergillus in patients with reticular OLP and of Alternaria and Sclerotiniaceae_unidentified in patients with erosive OLP were observed compared to the healthy controls. Aspergillus was identified as an "OLP-associated" fungus because of its detection at a higher frequency than in the healthy controls. Second, the co-occurrence patterns of the salivary mycobiome-bacteriome demonstrated negative associations between specific fungal and bacterial taxa identified in the healthy controls, which diminished in the reticular OLP group and even became positive in the erosive OLP group. Moreover, the oral cavities of OLP patients were colonized by dysbiotic oral flora with lower ecological network complexity and decreased fungal-Firmicutes and increased fungal-Bacteroidetes sub-networks. Third, several keystone fungal genera (Bovista, Erysiphe, Psathyrella, etc.) demonstrated significant correlations with clinical scores and IL-17 levels. Thus, we established that fungal dysbiosis is associated with the aggravation of OLP. Fungal dysbiosis could alter the salivary bacteriome or may reflect a direct effect of host immunity, which participates in OLP pathogenesis.
