    A novel Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–BiPO<sub>4</sub> composite electrode was successfully synthesized by the method of electrophoretic deposition, electrodeposition, and calcination in a proper sequence. The prepared electrodes were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and photocurrent decay curves measurement indicated that the Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–BiPO<sub>4</sub> composite electrode exhibited better photoelectrochemical (PEC) activity than either pure Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> or BiPO<sub>4</sub> electrode. Incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) measurements revealed that the composite electrode significantly improved the efficiency of charge transfer and decreased the recombination of photogenerated charges. Furthermore, the composite electrode also displayed higher efficiency and stability in the PEC degradation of organic pollutants. The <i>p</i>–<i>n</i> junction structure of the Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–BiPO<sub>4</sub> composite electrode was most likely responsible for the enhanced PEC activity

    <p>(A) After culture and IPTG induction, the plasmid pET28a-nsp11 transformed <i>E</i> coli cells were collected. The thallus, as well as supernatant and precipitation parts post lysing, were submitted to SDS-PAGE for detecting the nsp11 expression. (B) The purity and concentration of purified nsp11<sub>40-223aa</sub> protein was analyzed in SDS-PAGE.</p

    <p>(A) The nsp11 specific antibody in anti-PRRSV sera were detected by reacting with nsp11<sub>40-223aa</sub> protein in WB test. (B) The nsp11 specific antibody in anti-PRRSV sera were detected by nsp11<sub>40-223aa</sub> coated indirect ELISA. (C)The <sup>111</sup>DCREY<sup>115</sup> epitope specific antibody in anti-PRRSV sera were detected by peptide coated indirect ELISA. Asterisk indicates significant differences between PRRSV positive sera and negative sera, or between control and mAb 3F9 (* <i>P<</i>0.05; ** <i>P<</i>0.01; *** <i>P<</i>0.001).</p

    <p>(A) Multiple sequence alignment of nsp11 epitope region. The identified epitope was labeled with box. (B and C) The PRRSV JXwn06 (genotype 1) or GZ11-G1 (genotype 2) inoculated MARC-145 cells were detected in IFA (B) and WB (C), by using nsp11 specific mAb 3F9 and N protein specific mAb SDOW17(for IFA only) as primary antibody.</p

    <p>(A) Four overlapped fragments covered the nsp11<sub>40-223aa</sub> were expressed by using vector PEGFP-N1, and then the mAb 3F9 reactivity of truncated nsp11 proteins were verified by WB. (B) The mAb 3F9 reactivity of nine overlapped fragment covered nsp11<sub>84-133aa</sub> were further tested by WB. (C) Eight overlapped fragments covered the nsp11<sub>109-118aa</sub> were further tested by WB. (D) The identified core unit was expressed in PEGFP-N1, for testing its mAb 3F9 reactivity by WB, with the nsp11<sub>40-223aa</sub> as positive control.</p
