Floss-Mediated Gingival Mucosal Immunization with HBc-E18-3 VLPs Induces Long-Lasting Intestinal IgG and Provides a Candidate Strategy for Intervention of FcRn-Related Autoimmune Injury
Echovirus 18 (E18) is a predominant pathogen causing aseptic meningitis in children, and post-E18 infection frequently triggers myasthenia gravis-like autoimmune neurological damage. This pathological process relies on neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)-mediated IgG transcytosis across mucosal barriers, and FcRn also acts as an essential functional receptor required for E18 attachment and uncoating…
