PaR1 secreted by the type IX secretion system is a protective antigen of Riemerella anatipestifer [PDF]
Riemerella anatipestifer mainly infects domestic ducks, geese, turkeys, and other birds, and causes considerable economic losses to the global duck industry. Previous studies have shown that concentrated cell-free culture filtrates of R.

Recombinant full-length Bacillus Anthracis protective antigen and its 63 kDa form elicits protective response in formulation with addavax [PDF]
IntroductionBacillus anthracis is the causative agent for the lethal disease anthrax, primarily affecting animals and humans in close contact with an infected host. The pathogenicity of B. anthracis is attributed to the secreted exotoxins and their outer

A STUDY ON THE PROTECTIVE ANTIGEN OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA
It has been generally accepted that Pseudo- monas aeruginosa is one of the organisms most resistant to antibiotics. In the present study, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain A3 was pursued in mice revealing its protective antigen localed in its cell wall. Preparation of cell walls during the present experiments was performed with mechanical des- truction and

Impact of HLA Polymorphism on the Immune Response to Bacillus Anthracis Protective Antigen in Vaccination versus Natural Infection [PDF]
The causative agent of anthrax, Bacillus anthracis, evades the host immune response and establishes infection through the production of binary exotoxins composed of Protective Antigen (PA) and one of two subunits, lethal factor (LF) or edema factor (EF).

Two approaches for the stabilization of Bacillus anthracis recombinant protective antigen [PDF]
Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by the gram-positive spore-forming bacteria Bacillus anthracis. There is a need for safe, highly effective, long-term storage vaccine formulations for mass vaccination. However, the development of new subunit vaccines

Polysaccharide PCP-I isolated from Poria cocos enhances the immunogenicity and protection of an anthrax protective antigen-based vaccine [PDF]
Polysaccharides isolated from natural plants may represent a novel source of vaccine adjuvants. In this research, we focused on a natural plant polysaccharide, PCP-I, which is derived from Poria cocos, a Chinese traditional herbal medicine.

Role of the Antigen Capture Pathway in the Induction of a Neutralizing Antibody Response to Anthrax Protective Antigen [PDF]
Toxin neutralizing antibodies represent the major mode of protective immunity against a number of toxin-mediated bacterial diseases, including anthrax; however, the cellular mechanisms that lead to optimal neutralizing antibody responses remain ill ...

Immune-Complex Mimics as a Molecular Platform for Adjuvant-Free Vaccine Delivery [PDF]
Protein-based vaccine development faces the difficult challenge of finding robust yet non-toxic adjuvants suitable for humans. Here, using a molecular engineering approach, we have developed a molecular platform for generating self-adjuvanting immunogens
