Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTargeting Cellular Receptors as a Strategy for the Development of New Generation Mucosal VaccinesConstantine Bitsaktsis, Kari Wiedinger, Edmund Joseph GosselinMucosal pathogens are a primary source of infection that require the development of vaccines to induce a specific, protective and long lasting immune response. Despite an urgent need, development of effective mucosal immunization strategies has proven difficult. The literature was reviewed to elucidate cell specific targets that may be utilized to increase the immunogenicity of protective antigens through mucosal vaccination. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 2 Feb 2013 · 7,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormulation and Evaluation of a Novel Needle-Free Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Delivery SystemC. D. Licy, K. Premalatha, Annie Shirwaikar, Arun ShirwaikarProblem statement: Hepatitis B is a major public health problem, killing 1-2 million people annually, despite the introduction of an effective vaccine in 1982. Approximately 400 million persons worldwide have chronic hepatitis B. This is due to problems associated with vaccine delivery, stability and cost. Hence the present challenge in Vaccinology is to develop safer, cheaper and easy-to-deliver forms of … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Oct 2010 · 6,819 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSerological Evaluation of Brucella abortus S99 Lipopolysaccharide Extracted by an Optimized MethodAli Sharifat Salmani, Seyed Davar Siadat, Mohammad Reza Fallahian et al.Problem statement: Brucellosis is a globally found infectious disease and there is no licensed vaccine against human brucellosis. The present study carried-out to evaluate the potency of our modified extracted lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of B. abortus to elicit specific anti-Brucella antibodies in animal model (Rabbit) as a part of a candidate vaccine for brucellosis. Lipopolysaccharide is one of the main virulence … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of a DNA Vaccine for Immunocontraceptive Potential Against Zona Pellucida Glycoproteins in CattleC.A. Foley, S.M. Boyle, R.E. Pearson, F.C. GwazdauskasHolstein cows were administered zona pellucida (ZP) DNA vaccine and used to determine the potential of recombinant rabbit ZP glycoproteins (rZP) as immunocontraceptive antigens. Zona pellucida proteins were purified and quantified. Cows were assigned to one of four treatment groups in which plasmids encoding rabbit ZP proteins were administered, i.d., using a gene gun (ZP55, n=2; ZP75, n=2; Hep55, n=2; … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence, Types and Risk Factors for Malnutrition in Displaced Sudanese ChildrenNuha Mamoun, Susan Homedia, Mustafa Mabyou et al.The nutritional status of 327 under-five children living in Mayoo displacement camp, Khartoum, Sudan, was assessed during May- August 2004. Risk factors for protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) were also studied. According to WHO criteria, a total of 186 (56.1%) children had malnutrition, of these 101(30.1%), 43 (13.1%) and 42 (12.8%) were mildly, moderately and severely malnourished respectively. According to Welcome classification, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRevealed «Oncologic Markers» in the Sea Star Antibody Response to Horse-Radish PeroxydaseMichel Leclerc, Patricia OttenAt least two genes found in the genome of Asterias rubens after immunizations to the antigen Horse-Radish Peroxydase (HRP), could play the role of oncologic markers: The first one (Igkappa chain V-V region T 1 S 107 B precursor) reveals myeloma; The second (B cell CLL/Lymphoma 9-like) as the first one has a kinship to the IgKappa gene subfamily. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 16 Nov 2013 · 6,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHumoral Immune Responses to Various Antigens in the Asterids: A. gibbosa and A. rubensMichel LeclercImmunizations with various antigens of the sea stars Asterina gibbosa and Asterias rubens produce specific humoral immune reactions which initiate the antibody factor. This antibody factor is correlated with kappa genes and could be composed of 4 kappa chains. It is the first time that such phenomenom was described in an invertebrate. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2013 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite
