Bovine cytotoxic T cell clones which recognize lymphoblasts infected with two antigenically different stocks of the protozoan parasite Theileria parva

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, 1987
AbstractThe Muguga and Marikebuni stocks of Theileria parva differ on the basis of cross‐protection and in their schizont antigen profile determined with a panel of parasitespecific monoclonal antibodies. The phenotype and specificity of six cytotoxic T cell clones generated from an animal immunized against T. parva (Marikebuni) were investigated.

Research progress on surface antigen 1 (SAG1) of Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasitic protozoan that has a wide host range and causes a zoonotic parasitosis called toxoplasmosis. This infection causes significant morbidity, costs for care and loss of productivity and suffering.

A mouse protozoan boosts antigen-specific mucosal IgA responses in a specific lipid metabolism- and signaling-dependent manner

open access: yesNature Communications
IgA antibodies play an important role in mucosal immunity. However, there is still no effective way to consistently boost mucosal IgA responses, and the factors influencing these responses are not fully understood. We observed that colonization with the murine intestinal symbiotic protozoan Tritrichomonas musculis (T.mu) boosted antigen-specific ...

A prime/boost DNA/Modified vaccinia virus Ankara vaccine expressing recombinant Leishmania DNA encoding TRYP is safe and immunogenic in outbred dogs, the reservoir of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

open access: yes
Previous studies demonstrated safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of DNA/modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) prime/boost vaccines expressing tryparedoxin peroxidase (TRYP) and Leishmania homologue of the mammalian receptor for activated C kinase (LACK ...
