Soluble CD4 antigens in the cerebrospinal fluid as a marker of lymphocytic infiltration of the central nervous system [PDF]
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,

Protective vaccines for hypervariable pathogens are urgently needed. It has been proposed that amputating highly variable epitopes from vaccine antigens would induce the production of broadly protective antibodies targeting conserved epitopes. However, so far, these approaches have failed, partially because conserved epitopes are occluded in vivo and ...

Antigen Stability Controls Antigen Presentation [PDF]
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 ...

Binding to Nanopatterned Antigens is Dominated by the Spatial Tolerance of Antibodies
Although repetitive patterns of antigens are crucial for certain immune responses, an understanding of how antibodies bind and dynamically interact with various spatial arrangements of molecules is lacking.

Molecular typing of RhD-negative blood donors with C and/or E antigen [PDF]
Background: Most people are either RhD positive or RhD negative, but there is also a number of persons with D antigen variants. The aim of this study was to prove, by using molecular diagnostic tests, whether the RHD gene and D antigen on the red cell ...

Discriminating antigen and non-antigen using proteome dissimilarity: bacterial antigens [PDF]
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 ...

Expansion of host range as a driving force in the evolution of Toxoplasma
The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is unusual in being able to infect almost any cell from almost any warm-blooded animal it encounters. This extraordinary host-range contrasts with its far more particular cousins such as the various species of ...
