Serum IgG antibodies against Helicobacter pylori low molecular weight antigens 50kDa, 30kDa and Urease A 26 kDa, along with vacuolating cytotoxin A are associated with the outcome of the infection [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2020 Background/Aim. We designed and conducted this study due to the fact that results of the previous studies about seroreactivity to low-molecular-weight Helicobacter pylori antigens, cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA), vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA) in ...

Soluble CD4 antigens in the cerebrospinal fluid as a marker of lymphocytic infiltration of the central nervous system [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2004 Early diagnosis of the central nervous system (CNS) infections is a precondition of their successful treatment. However, the essential standard examination of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is sometimes neither specific enough to define their basic nature,

Journal of Applied Veterinary Sciences, 2020 The standard serological test such as Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) is routinely used for the diagnosis of brucellosis. This test depends on the agglutination of colored particulate antigen (killed Brucella organisms) by the antibodies present in sera ...

Antigen Stability Controls Antigen Presentation [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 We investigated whether protein stability controls antigen presentation using a four disulfide-containing snake toxin and three derivatives carrying one or two mutations (L1A, L1A/H4Y, and H4Y). These mutations were anticipated to increase (H4Y) or decrease (L1A) the antigen non-covalent stabilizing interactions, H4Y being naturally and frequently ...

Fundamental differences between natural antibodies and polyreactive immunoglobulins [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2015 A problem of similarity and differences between so-called polyreactive immunoglobulins (PRIGs) and natural antibodies (NAbs), capable of cross-reacting with some structurally dissimilar antigens, has been considered.

Discriminating antigen and non-antigen using proteome dissimilarity: bacterial antigens [PDF]
Bioinformation, 2010 It has been postulated that immunogenicity results from the overall dissimilarity of pathogenic proteins versus the host proteome. We have sought to use this concept to discriminate between antigens and non-antigens of bacterial origin. Sets of 100 known antigenic and nonantigenic peptide sequences from bacteria were compared to human and mouse ...

Immunoprotection against Cryptococcosis Offered by Znf2 Depends on Capsule and the Hyphal Morphology
mBio, 2022 Systemic cryptococcosis is fatal without treatment. Globally, this disease kills 180,000 of the 225,000 infected people each year, even with the use of antifungal therapies. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent cryptococcosis.
