Structural analysis of the adenovirus type 2 E3/19K protein using mutagenesis and a panel of conformation-sensitive monoclonal antibodies [PDF]

, 2008
The E3/19K protein of human adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) was the first viral protein shown to interfere with antigen presentation. This 25 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein binds to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules in the endoplasmic ...

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.

Predicting the effectiveness of hepatitis C virus neutralizing antibodies by bioinformatic analysis of conserved epitope residues using public sequence data [PDF]

, 2018
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a global health issue. Although direct-acting antivirals are available to target HCV, there is currently no vaccine. The diversity of the virus is a major obstacle to HCV vaccine development. One approach toward a vaccine is to

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.

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 ...

Insight into highly conserved H1 subtype-specific epitopes in influenza virus hemagglutinin [PDF]

, 2014
Influenza viruses continuously undergo antigenic changes with gradual accumulation of mutations in hemagglutinin (HA) that is a major determinant in subtype specificity.

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 ...

In-silico design of a multi-epitope vaccine candidate against onchocerciasis and related filarial diseases

Scientific Reports, 2019
Onchocerciasis is a parasitic disease with high socio-economic burden particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The elimination plan for this disease has faced numerous challenges. A multi-epitope prophylactic/therapeutic vaccine targeting the infective L3 and

Prediction and validation of murine MHC class I epitopes of the recombinant virus VSV-GP

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Oncolytic viruses are currently tested as a novel platform for cancer therapy. These viruses preferentially replicate in and kill malignant cells. Due to their microbial origin, treatment with oncolytic viruses naturally results in anti-viral responses ...
