There is a critical need for an oral-killed Salmonella vaccine for broilers. Chitosan nanoparticle (CNP) vaccines can be used to deliver Salmonella antigens orally. We investigated the efficacy of a killed Salmonella CNP vaccine on broilers. CNP vaccine was synthesized using Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) outer membrane and flagella proteins. CNP was stable at acidic conditions by releasing 14% of proteins at pH 5.5. At 17 h post-incubation, the cumulative protein release for CNP was 75% at pH 7.4. Two hundred microliters of PBS with chicken red blood cells incubated with 20 μg/ml CNP released 0% hemoglobin. Three hundred chicks were allocated into 1) Control, 2) Challenge, 3) Vaccine + Challenge. At d1 of age, chicks were spray-vaccinated with PBS or 40 mg CNP. At d7 of age, chicks were orally-vaccinated with PBS or 20 μg CNP/bird. At d14 of age, birds were orally-challenged with PBS or 1 × 107 CFU/bird of S. Enteritidis. The CNP-vaccinated birds had higher antigen-specific IgY/IgA and lymphocyte-proliferation against flagellin (p 10 CFU/g, and in the small intestine by 0.6 Log10 CFU/g (p < 0.05). We conclude that the CNP vaccine is a viable alternative to conventional Salmonella poultry vaccines.</p

Visualization 1 shows propagation of the central five spectral components of the spatially chirped pulse-beam from the prism experiment without the knife-edge. The top row shows the spatial profile of each beamlet as it propagates. The bottom left panel shows the summed intensity of these spectral components which is calculated from the individually propagated beamlets. The two bottom right panels show sagittal and tangential views of the beams colored by their local wavelengths, which are the same as Fig 3.a) and b). Here we are also showing the propagation of the beamlets, which are colored according to wavelength and have sizes proportional to their second moments. Based on these panels we can separately identify the beamlet crossing plane and focal plane of the beams in each direction

Wavelength-multiplexed single-shot ptychography

Diagnostics capable of interrogating dynamics in harsh environments such as plasma have remained essentially unchanged in recent decades. Developments in advanced microscopy techniques will improve our understanding of the physics involved in these events. Recently developed single-shot ptychography (SSP) provides a pathway towards sophisticated plasma metrologies. Here we introduce wavelength-multiplexed single-shot ptychography (WM-SSP), which allows for hyperspectral, spatially and temporally resolved phase and amplitude contrast imaging. Furthermore, we introduce a novel probe constraint common to all wavelength multiplexed modalities in the single-shot geometry and present modifications to SSP that improve reconstruction fidelity and robustness. WM-SSP was experimentally realized and simulations show the technique's ability to deconvolve the electron and neutral densities within the plasma. WM-SSP will pave the way to a new generation of quantitative plasma imaging techniques
