As the need for antibody production rises, there is an urgent need to lower the costs and enhance the efficiency of the separation process. Currently, the chromatographic media used for antibody separation and purification often focus on individual properties of antibodies, such as affinity, hydrophobicity, and charge, leading to issues like low purification efficiency or inadequate adsorption capacity. To address this, an electrostatically coupled polypeptide affinity medium (FD7-3, 5-diaminobenzoic acid n-sepharose, FD7-DA-Sepharose) was developed for rapid purification of antibodies from cell culture supernatant. This medium utilized 3, 5-diaminobenzoic acid as a spacer to attach the heptapeptide-affinity ligand (FYEILHD, FD7) to agarose microspheres. Antibodies could be adsorbed through charge interactions with the carboxyl functional group of the FD7-DA-Sepharose spacer, while FD7 enhanced electrostatic coupling and affinity adsorption through synergistic effects, significantly increasing the adsorption capacity while maintaining the affinity and specificity. The influences of pH and ionic strength on adsorption capacity were investigated with human immunoglobulin as a model protein. The static adsorption capacity (Qm) of FD7-DA-Sepharose in the solution of pH 6.0 reached 67.73 mg/mL, representing a 52.68% increase compared with that (44.36 mg/mL) of the commercial Protein A affinity medium. Furthermore, the elution conditions for FD7-DA- Sepharose were mild (20 mmol/L PB, 0.5 mol/L NaCl, pH 6.0), in contrast to the harsh acidic elution (pH 2.7-3.6) typically associated with Protein A, which can damage antibody integrity. The FD7-DA-Sepharose medium was then employed to purify antibodies from cell culture supernatant, achieving the yield of 94.8% and the purity of 98.4%. The secondary structure of the purified antibody was determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that FD7-DA-Sepharose enabled efficient purification of antibodies from cell culture supernatant, which provided a cost-effective solution (approximately one-third the price of commercial Protein A affinity medium) with gentle elution conditions that preserve the natural conformation of antibodies. This approach paves a novel, economical, and efficient way for the separation and purification of antibodies from cell culture supernatant.

Natural polysaccharides have important physiological effects on immune regulation,and their effects on natural and ac-quired immunity are worthy of further discussion.Natural polysaccharides can regulate the innate immune system by regulating macro-phages,natural killer cells,inflammatory response,physiological barrier,complement system,and oxidation of the body,and they can also regulate the adaptive immune system by regulating humoral immunity and cellular immunity.Therefore,this article reviews the re-search advances in the role of natural polysaccharides in innate immunity and adaptive immunity,in order to provide new ideas for fur-ther research.

Tumor microenvironment(TME)is the cellular environment for tumor development,growth,and metastasis.Adenosine(ADO)is an immunosuppressive metabolic product that is continuously upregulated in TME,with various types and wide distribution of receptors.The complex and dynamic interactions between ADO and tumor cells constantly influence tumor progression.ADO can di-rectly or indirectly promote tumor development and progression by promoting tumor generation and metastasis,mediating the immune escape of tumor,and modulating tumor-infiltrating immune cells.Based on the characteristics of ADOs in TME,this article reviews the latest advances in the dynamic alterations of ADO in TME,in order to provide insights into tumor treatment targeting the ADO pathway.

Knee osteoarthritis exhibits a high prevalence and significantly impacts patients′ quality of life. Although surgical interventions demonstrate definitive efficacy, their acceptance rate remains generally low among patients. While knee braces have been widely adopted internationally, domestic research in this field is still limited. International studies suggest that knee braces can be recommended as an early-stage intervention strategy for knee osteoarthritis. Knee braces encompass diverse designs, each with distinct advantages and limitations. Many researchers are actively refining existing brace technologies, while others are innovating novel biomechanical approaches to develop next-generation knee brace systems. Currently, no standardized treatment protocol exists for the use of knee braces in early-stage knee osteoarthritis. This study summarizes and analyzes the research on the application of knee braces in knee osteoarthritis.

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium with strong pathogenicity. With the widespread use of antibiotics, its multi-drug resistance has gradually increased. Among them, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is one of the main pathogens of hospital and community infections. Antimicrobial peptides are short-chain peptides with good antibacterial effects and low drug resistance, which have been widely studied in recent years. This study summarizes the mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides and related study on antimicrobial peptides against MRSA from different sources. It is found that the mechanisms of action of antimicrobial peptides include targeting bacterial cell membranes, bacterial cells, and bacterial cell walls, etc. Besides isolating antimicrobial peptides with anti-MRSA activity from animals, plants, and microorganisms, antimicrobial peptides can also be obtained through synthetic methods. Among them, GHa-derived peptides from animal sources, Ib-AMP4 from plant sources, Ph-SA from microbial sources, the synthetic peptide LLKLLLKLL-NH2, and so on, due to their effective antibacterial activity, rapid bactericidal speed, and low toxicity, are promising candidates for anti-MRSA drugs.

Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1(IDH1)can abnormally produce the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate(D2HG),which in turn remodels the tumor immune microenvironment.In recent years,it has become a key target in the research on the interaction between tumor metabolism and immunity.D2HG competitively inhibits endogenous α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases,leading to DNA histone hypermethylation and cell differentiation arrest,thus promoting tumorigenesis,development,metastasis,and drug resistance.Meanwhile,D2HG suppresses T-cell function,promotes myeloid cell expansion and macrophage polarization,weakens immune surveillance,and creates an immunosuppressive state that affects the response to immunotherapy.In various tumors,such as glioma,acute myeloid leukemia,and cholangiocarcinoma,IDH1 mutations exhibit heterogeneity and different prognostic characteristics.Currently,small-molecule inhibitors targeting IDH1 mutations,such as ivosidenib and vorasidenib,can partially reverse immunosuppression by reducing D2HG levels and have shown certain efficacy in clinical trials.However,these inhibitors face challenges including efficacy differences,drug resistance,and safety concerns.Combination therapies with IDH1 inhibitors aim to synergistically reverse the metabolic-epigenetic-immune triple-suppression network and enhance the anti-tumor effects,attracting extensive attention.This article reviews the tumor immune regulatory network mediated by IDH1-mutation-induced D2HG metabolism and comprehensively summarizes progress in related drug development,providing new references and ideas for tumor prevention and treatment.
