Pooled protein immunization for identification of cell surface antigens in Streptococcus sanguinis. [PDF]
Available bacterial genomes provide opportunities for screening vaccines by reverse vaccinology. Efficient identification of surface antigens is required to reduce time and animal cost in this technology.

Integration of a virus membrane protein into the lipid bilayer of target cells as a prerequisite for immune cytolysis [PDF]
Structural requirements for membrane antigens on target cells to mediate immune cytolysis were studied in a model system with purified membrane proteins from Semliki Forest virus (SFV). These SFV spike proteins were isolated in the form of detergent- and

Surface antigens ofToxoplasma gondii
SUMMARYMonoclonal antibodies reacting with pellicular antigens ofToxoplasma gondiitachyzoites have been selected among hybridomas produced against this organism by immunofluorescence assay. These antigens have been further characterized by immunofluorescence on living zoites, Western immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation of lactoperoxidase surface ...

Recombinant subunit vaccines against Neospora caninum [PDF]
The intracellular protozoan parasite Neospora caninum is an important cause of bovine abortion and congenital infection in many countries. Currently there is no effective control method available, and development of a vaccine has been suggested as a ...

Immunoblot analysis of the seroreactivity to recombinant Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato antigens, including VlsE, in the long-term course of treated patients with Erythema migrans [PDF]
Objective: We evaluated whether immunoblotting is capable of substantiating the posttreatment clinical assessment of patients with erythema migrans ( EM), the hallmark of early Lyme borreliosis.

Antigenicity of hepatitis B surface antigen proteins reconstituted with phospholipids
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) has been reconstituted with different phospholipid classes. All epitopes defined by a panel of monoclonal antibodies which recognize both group- and subtype-specific antigenic determinants showed specificity for acidic phospholipids.

Conjugation of an scFab domain to the oligomeric HIV envelope protein for use in immune targeting.
A promising strategy for the enhancement of vaccine-mediated immune responses is by directly targeting protein antigens to immune cells. Targeting of antigens to the dendritic cell (DC) molecule Clec9A has been shown to enhance antibody affinity and ...
