Evaluation of Spike Protein Epitopes by Assessing the Dynamics of Humoral Immune Responses in Moderate COVID-19

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by a novel coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The spike protein (S) of SARS-CoV-2 is a major target for diagnosis and vaccine development because of ...

Dual-topology insertion of a dual-topology membrane protein. [PDF]

, 2015
Some membrane transporters are dual-topology dimers in which the subunits have inverted transmembrane topology. How a cell manages to generate equal populations of two opposite topologies from the same polypeptide chain remains unclear.

Identification of Two Critical Contact Residues in a Pathogenic Epitope from Tetranectin for Monoclonal Antibody Binding and Preparation of Single-Chain Variable Fragments

Biomolecules
Sepsis is a fetal disease that requires a clear diagnostic biomarker for timely antibiotic treatment. Recent research has identified a pyroptosis-inducing epitope known as P5-5 in tetranectin (TN), a plasma protein produced by monocytes.

Immunoinformatic analysis of glycoprotein from bovine ephemeral fever virus

Biomedical and Biotechnology Research Journal, 2018
Background: Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) is an arthropod-borne virus that is highly infective for cattle and water buffalo. The infection has important economic losses and is common in tropical and subtropical regions.

Identification of hepatitis a virus mimotopes by phage display, antigenicity and immunogenicity [PDF]

, 2007
A phage-displayed peptide approach was used to identify ligands mimicking antigenic determinants of hepatitis A virus (HAV) for the first time. Bacteriophages displaying HAV mimotopes were isolated from a phage-display peptide library by affinity ...

Predicting T cell receptor functionality against mutant epitopes

Cell Genomics
Summary: Cancer cells and pathogens can evade T cell receptors (TCRs) via mutations in immunogenic epitopes. TCR cross-reactivity (i.e., recognition of multiple epitopes with sequence similarities) can counteract such escape but may cause severe side ...

Epitope Addition and Ablation via Manipulation of a Dengue Virus Serotype 1 Infectious Clone

mSphere, 2017
Despite the clinical relevance, dengue virus (DENV) research has been hampered by the absence of robust reverse genetic systems to manipulate the viral serotypes for propagation and generation of mutant viruses.

The in Vitro Antigenicity of Plasmodium vivax Rhoptry Neck Protein 2 (PvRON2) B- and T-Epitopes Selected by HLA-DRB1 Binding Profile

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax is a neglected disease which is responsible for the highest morbidity in both Americas and Asia. Despite continuous public health efforts to prevent malarial infection, an effective antimalarial vaccine is still ...

Food allergens and mucosal immune systems with special reference to recognition of food allergens by gut-associated lymphoid tissue

Allergology International, 1999
Food allergy, triggered by an aberrant immune response elicited by orally ingested food allergens, is generated through a complicated mechanism because the allergen interacts with the mucosal immune system (the gut- associated lymphoid tissue, GALT) and ...
