Research NotesOpen accessIn the keywordsFunctionalization Strategies for Antibodies: Lessons LearnedChristian Schmidt, Martin Geyer, Jörg Bohrisch et al.Precious little is known about useful functionalization strategies of antibodies that will not impair either reactivity or specificity of this valuable reagent. We used an experimental approach to demonstrate our own experience with published protocols. The conjugates obtained were then tested with regard to their performance against commercially available detection kits. Our results are then viewed in light of published … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 4 May 2017 · 7,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImmunologic Aspect of Mice (Mus musculus) Dental Caries Induced by Streptococcus mutansSri MurwaniDental caries (tooth decay), cavities or caries is a breakdown of teeth due to activities of bacteria acid producing in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates. The most responsible bacteria for dental cavities are Streptococcus mutans. Dental shape, saliva pH, normal flora, diets were suggested as predisposition factors for dental plaque and caries. The aim of this research was to study … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2017 · 8,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImmunological Evidence for Peptide-Carbohydrate Mimicry with a Group A Streptococcus Polysaccharide-Mimetic PeptideSilvia Borrelli, Rehana B. Hossany, Susan Findlay, B. Mario PintoThe immunogenicity of a peptide-protein conjugate developed by linking a peptide mimic DRPVPY of the Group A Streptococcus cell-wall polysaccharide (GAS-CWPS), to tetanus toxoid (TT) was examined. BALB/c mice were immunized three times subcutaneously following homologous or heterologous prime/boost strategies at 4- or 6- week intervals in two different experiments. DRPVPY-TT, CWPS-TT, heat-killed, pepsin-treated GAS bacteria (with exposed polysaccharide) and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVaccine Misinformation in the Digital Age: A Narrative ReviewOluwatobi AtibaConfidence in immunization has weakened across several regions over the past decade, and the circulation of inaccurate or misleading content about vaccines has accompanied, though not necessarily caused, the resurgence of vaccine-preventable infections. Adequate analysis cuts across immunology, behavioral science, communication research, and public-health practice. This narrative review draws on literature retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 23 Sep 2026 · 586 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVitamin D: The Immunologic Role and its Effect on Human PathophysiologyWilliam Whalen, Edward Werner Cook, Nitya G. ChakrabortyThere are several reasons why understanding the role of vitamin D in the immune system is worthy of widespread attention. Our knowledge of the immune system is crucial for understanding human health and disease. New ideas for vitamin D and life style in the twenty-first century build directly on our understanding of immunology-from the development of new immune-based cancer drugs … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 May 2015 · 6,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Treg Cells in the Cancer Immunological ResponseZhi-Zhang Yang, Stephen M. AnsellProblem statement: T cell-mediated immunosuppression has been observed for decades without clarification as to which factor was responsible for this observation. The identification of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells represents a milestone in the filed of immunology and provides an explanation for T-cell-mediated immunosuppression. Although Treg cells were originally identified for their ability to prevent organ-specific autoimmune disease in mice, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,518 accessesView PDFCite
