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

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 ...

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

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