Immunotropic and Immunogenic Properties of Nonspecific Yersinia Porins
The purpose of the study is to summarize our own data and literature data on the significance of poreforming proteins of the outer membrane of Yersinia as factors of their pathogenicity and as diagnostic and protective antigens, and their role in ...

Antigens of Bordetella pertussis.III. The Protective Antigen
SummaryA method of preparing extracts from Bordetella pertussis with high protective and histamine sensitizing activity is described. From these extracts, starch block electrophoresis yielded active purified fractions which not only protected mice against intracerebral challenge with living B. pertussis cells but also sensitized mice to histamine. From

Recombinant HSA-CMG2 Is a Promising Anthrax Toxin Inhibitor
Anthrax toxin is the major virulence factor produced by Bacillus anthracis. Protective antigen (PA) is the key component of the toxin and has been confirmed as the main target for the development of toxin inhibitors.

Evaluation of Crude Anthrax Protective Antigen as an Adjutant For Brucella Abortus Vaccine In Mice [PDF]
Anthrax crude protective antigen (PA) was used in this study as an adjutant with Brucella abortus S19 strain vaccine in a ratio of 1:1 to immunize mice in dose of 0.1 ml s/c in order to decrease side effects of S19 vaccine and also to enhance its ...

Why is a protective antigen protective?
One of the major challenges in vaccine development is the identification of microbial components that give rise to a protective immune response. Over the last decade, genome and proteome-based methods have proven successful in discovering new vaccine candidates for many pathogens through the selection of secreted or surface-exposed protein antigens and

New protective antigen of group A streptococci [PDF]
It is widely believed that the surface M protein of group A streptococci is the predominant surface protein of these organisms containing opsonic epitopes. In the present study, we identified a new surface protein, distinct from M protein, that evokes protective antibodies.
