Abstract:
... The function and antigen-specificities of tumor-infiltrating B cells are mostly unknown. In a new study by Mazor et al., matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14), a self-antigen that is overexpressed by ovarian cancers, is shown to drive B cell activation and autoantibody production in tertiary lymphoid structures (Mazor et al., 2022). ...

Abstract:
... Reducing the amount of antigen is an important strategy to resolve the present shortage of IPV supply for global polio eradication. In the study, we compared the immunogenicity of adjuvanted and non-adjuvanted fractional-dose of IPV made from Sabin strains (sIPV) by intradermal (ID) administration versus the full-dose of sIPV by intramuscular (IM) administration in rats by comparing seroconversion ...

Abstract:
... The detection of pathogenic bacteria using biosensing techniques could be a potential alternative to traditional culture based methods. However, the low specificity and sensitivity of conventional biosensors, critically related to the choice of bio-recognition elements, limit their practical applicability. Mammalian antibodies have been widely investigated as biorecognition ligands due to high spe ...

Abstract:
... Anthrax protective antigen (PA), the receptor-binding component of anthrax toxin, elicits toxin-neutralizing antibodies which provide protection against anthrax disease. PA binds to two mammalian receptors, capillary morphogenesis protein-2 (CMG2) and tumor endothelial marker-8 (TEM8). We previously observed that binding of PA to its receptors plays a role in eliciting a strong toxin-neutralizing ...

Abstract:
... Virus-like particles (VLPs) modified through different molecular technologies are employed as delivery vehicles or platforms for heterologous antigen display. We have recently created a norovirus (NoV) VLP platform, where two influenza antigens, the extracellular domain of matrix protein M2 (M2e) or the stem domain of the major envelope glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA2) are displayed on the surface ...

Abstract:
... In the field of therapeutic antibody production, diversification of fed-batch strategies is flourishing in response to the market demand. All manufacturing approaches tend to follow the generally accepted dogma of increasing titer since it directly increases manufacturing output. While titer is influenced by the biomass (expressed as IVCD), the culture time and the cell-specific productivity (qP), ...
antibodyformation, etc ; animals; globulins; microarray technology; monitoring; proteome; proteomics; smallpox; vaccines; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... The availability of effective smallpox vaccines was a critical element of the successful eradication of smallpox in 1980. Antibody responses play a primary role in protective immunity and neutralizing antibody is an established correlate of protection against smallpox. In this study we used a poxvirus proteome array to assess the antibody response to individual viral proteins in a cohort of 1,037 ...

Abstract:
... Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the most commonly used host cells for the production of recombinant monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) due to their several advantages. Although the yields of recombinant mAbs can be greatly increased by some strategies, such as medium formulation, culture conditions, and cell engineering, most studies focused on either upstream design or downstream processes. In th ...
antibodyformation, etc ; Hepatitis C virus; hepatitis C; mutagenesis; vaccine development; vaccines; viruses; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major global health problem. In the majority of cases the virus is not cleared by the host immune response and progresses to chronic infection. Studies of the neutralizing antibody responses in individuals that naturally clear infection are limited. Understanding what constitutes a successful antibody response versus one that has ‘failed’ and resulted in chro ...

Abstract:
... In older adults, the serum antibody response to inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) is often lower than in adolescents and non-elderly adults which may translate into suboptimal protection against influenza. To counteract this expression of immunosenescence, the use of adjuvanted IIV formulations has been explored. Four recent studies (three meta-analyses and one clinical trial) found an antibody ...
antibodyformation, etc ; Escherichia coli; Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; glycosylation; oligodeoxyribonucleotides; vaccines; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... The glycosylated receptor-binding domain (glycoRBD) of SARS-CoV-2 can induce protective neutralizing antibodies to function as a vaccine. However, it is unclear whether vaccines using non-glycosylated RBD (non-glycoRBD) can induce protective immunity. Here, we report the efficacy of a SARS-CoV-2 non-glycoRBD vaccine produced by prokaryotic system in mice. The recombinant non-glycoRBD protein was o ...

Abstract:
... Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are useful biological tools for research, diagnostics, and pharmaceuticals. Here, we proposed a new mAb discovery platform named the two-step cell selection method (TCSM) for mAbs production of some small molecule haptens as antibiotic, toxins, and pesticides. The first step was performed by a fluorescence-activated cell sorter to enrich the hapten-specific B cells, th ...

Abstract:
... The intranasal (i.n.) route is an ideal vaccination approach for infectious respiratory diseases like influenza. Polycationic polyethylenimine (PEI) could form nanoscale complexes with negatively charged viral glycoproteins. Here we fabricated PEI-hemagglutinin (HA) and PEI-HA/CpG nanoparticles and investigated their immune responses and protective efficacies with an i.n. vaccination regimen in mi ...

Abstract:
... Transcutaneous immunization (TCI) is an effective vaccination method that is easier and less painful than the conventional injectable vaccination method. We previously developed self-dissolving microneedle patches (sdMN) and demonstrated that this TCI method has a high vaccination efficacy in mice and humans. To elucidate the mechanism of immune response induction, which is the basis for the effic ...

Abstract:
... Dirofilaria repens is the causative agent of the zoonotic canine skin condition called subcutaneous dirofilariosis. Despite being endemic throughout much of Europe, little is known about host humoral responses to D. repens. To address this, we analyzed serum immunoglobulin isotypes recognizing D. repens somatic antigens (DrSA) in naturally infected dogs. Titers of anti-DrSA IgG and IgE, but not Ig ...

Abstract:
... The fusion protein DnaJ-ΔA146Ply is protective against pneumococcal infections in mice. However, we found that immunized IL-4⁻/⁻ mice showed significant lower survival rates and higher bacterial loads than did wild-type (WT) mice after being challenged. We explored the role of IL-4 in the protective immunity conferred by DnaJ-ΔA146Ply. Our results showed that there were no significant differences ...

Abstract:
... The aims of the present study were to evaluate the ability of a subunit vaccine composed of recombinant molecules of α-toxin, β-toxin, FnBPA and ClfA, formulated with cationic liposomes and CpG-ODN, to confer protection against natural S. aureus intramammary infection (IMI) and to assess the antibody response against the vaccine components. A stringent criterion based on molecular identification o ...

Abstract:
... Currently there is no clinically approved chikungunya virus (CHIKV) vaccine for immunization. Though definite need is felt, long disappearance of CHIKV has been a concern. Inactivated CHIKV (I-CHIKV) is an attractive antigen to develop effective vaccines within a short period of time. However, highly purified inactivated CHIKV do not contain necessary triggers for induction of robust antibody resp ...

Abstract:
... It was reported that tuberculosis and BCG vaccination are potential tools for reducing the burden of COVID-19, mainly through the non-specific trained immunity. We have investigated whether BCG vaccination is able to induce cross-reacting antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2. We have tested the induced humoral immune responses against the SARS-CoV-2 Spike in the mouse model, after either BCG or rabie ...
... There is limited information available on the Trichinella britovi (T. britovi) muscle larvae (ML) distribution in pig muscle and the humoral immune response of pigs infected with moderate doses of this parasite; therefore, this study investigated the infectivity of a Polish strain of T. britovi for pigs, the antibody response of this host to various doses of T. britovi, and the efficiency of three ...
