Adjuvants and Antigen-Delivery Systems for Subunit Vaccines against Tuberculosis
The only licensed vaccine against tuberculosis is BCG. However, BCG has failed to provide consistent protection against tuberculosis, especially pulmonary disease in adults.

Induction of humoral immune response to multiple recombinant Rhipicephalus appendiculatus antigens and their effect on tick feeding success and pathogen transmission [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is the primary vector of Theileria parva, the etiological agent of East Coast fever (ECF), a devastating disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa.

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.

Identification and characterization of peripheral T-cell lymphoma-associated SEREX antigens. [PDF]
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are generally less common and pursue a more aggressive clinical course than B-cell lymphomas, with the T-cell phenotype itself being a poor prognostic factor in adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

Definition of Drosophila hemocyte subsets by cell-type specific antigens. [PDF]
We analyzed the heterogeneity of Drosophila hemocytes on the basis of the expression of cell-type specific antigens. The antigens characterize distinct subsets which partially overlap with those defined by morphological criteria.

Proteomic Selection of Immunodiagnostic Antigens for Trypanosoma congolense [PDF]
Animal African Trypanosomosis (AAT) presents a severe problem for agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa. It is caused by several trypanosome species and current means of diagnosis are expensive and impractical for field use.

Studies on in vitro human T cell reactivity to antigens of mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
Studies on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) antigens are important to improve immunodiagnostics and vaccine efficacy. A novel genome based strategy for antigen discovery is to relate what is highly expressed by bacilli in vivo or in vitro, to what is ...
