Action Mechanisms and Scientific Rationale of Using Nasal Vaccine (HeberNasvac) for the Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B

Vaccines, 2022
Nasvac (HeberNasvac®) is a novel therapeutic vaccine for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). This product is a formulation of the core (HBcAg) and surface (HBsAg) antigens of the hepatitis B virus (HBV), administered by nasal and subcutaneous routes, in a ...

Atopological Model for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen

Intervirology, 1992
A model of hepatitis B surface antigen has been derived, based on extensive sequence analysis and biochemical data. The surface antigen sequences of the human, woodchuck, ground squirrel and duck hepadnaviruses were examined using hydrophobicity, hydrophobic moments, flexibility and secondary structure prediction.

Endocytic Programming via Porous Silicon Nanoparticles Enhances TLR4 Nanoagonist Potency for Macrophage‐Mediated Immunotherapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Porous silicon nanoparticles (PSiNPs) reprogram macrophage endocytosis of manganese@albumin‐based TLR4 nanoagonists, driving TRIF‐biased TLR4 signaling, eliciting robust proinflammatory responses, and potentiating macrophage‐mediated immunotherapeutic effects against NSCLC.

Using Enzyme-Linked Aptamer Assay to Detect Hepatitis B Surface Antigen in Comparison to Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2018
Background: Clinical diagnostic kits for detecting hepatitis B are based on antibodies, and have inefficient sensitivity, stability, and cost. Therefore, researches about aptamers and using them instead of antibodies may make these defects up.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
