Why is a protective antigen protective?

open access: yesHuman Vaccines, 2009
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

Atomic structure of anthrax protective antigen pore elucidates toxin translocation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Anthrax toxin, comprising protective antigen, lethal factor, and oedema factor, is the major virulence factor of Bacillus anthracis, an agent that causes high mortality in humans and animals.

Recombinant HSA-CMG2 Is a Promising Anthrax Toxin Inhibitor

open access: yesToxins, 2016
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]

open access: yesEngineering and Technology Journal, 2012
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 ...

VaxiJen: a server for prediction of protective antigens, tumour antigens and subunit vaccines [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2007
Vaccine development in the post-genomic era often begins with the in silico screening of genome information, with the most probable protective antigens being predicted rather than requiring causative microorganisms to be grown. Despite the obvious advantages of this approach--such as speed and cost efficiency--its success remains dependent on the ...

Impact of Dendrimer Terminal Group Chemistry on Blockage of the Anthrax Toxin Channel: A Single Molecule Study

open access: yesToxins, 2016
Nearly all the cationic molecules tested so far have been shown to reversibly block K+ current through the cation-selective PA63 channels of anthrax toxin in a wide nM–mM range of effective concentrations.

Protective Antigen-Specific Memory B Cells Persist Years after Anthrax Vaccination and Correlate with Humoral Immunity

open access: yesToxins, 2014
Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed (AVA) generates short-lived protective antigen (PA) specific IgG that correlates with in vitro toxin neutralization and protection from Bacillus anthracis challenge.

Yersinia Outer Membrane Vesicles as Potential Vaccine Candidates in Protecting against Plague

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Despite the relatively low incidence of plague, its etiological agent, Yersinia pestis, is an exceptional epidemic danger due to the high infectivity and mortality of this infectious disease. Reports on the isolation of drug-resistant Y.

Changes in Biomodels in Response to Recombinant Protective Anthrax Antigen Inoculation

open access: yesПроблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2013
one. The data obtained has substantiated the lack of an expressed damaging effect of the recombinant protective antigen on the cells and tissues of the macro­organism, as well as possibility of its application as one of the core components of the ...
