The Protective Antigen of a Highly Immunogenic Strain of Clostridium chauvoei Including an Evaluation of Its Flagella as a Protective Antigen [PDF]
SUMMARY: Evidence suggesting that the flagella of the highly immunogenic Clostridium chauvoei, strain ch3, may be important in stimulating protective immunity was studied by preparing a pure flagellar suspension from the organism and comparing the protective antigenicity of the flagellar suspension and deflagellated cells.

Vaxformer: Antigenicity-controlled Transformer for Vaccine Design Against SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has emphasised the importance of developing a universal vaccine that can protect against current and future variants of the virus. The present study proposes a novel conditional protein Language Model architecture, called Vaxformer, which is designed to produce natural-looking antigenicity-controlled SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins ...

Fluctuating fitness shapes the clone size distribution of immune repertoires [PDF]
The adaptive immune system relies on the diversity of receptors expressed on the surface of B and T-cells to protect the organism from a vast amount of pathogenic threats. The proliferation and degradation dynamics of different cell types (B cells, T cells, naive, memory) is governed by a variety of antigenic and environmental signals, yet the observed

Salmonella Vaccines: Conduits for Protective Antigens [PDF]
Abstract Vaccines afford a better and more cost-effective approach to combatting infectious diseases than continued reliance on antibiotics or antiviral or antiparasite drugs in the current era of increasing incidences of diseases caused by drug-resistant pathogens.

Design and expression of TolC as a recombinant protein vaccine against Shigella flexneri and evaluation of immunogenic response in mice [PDF]
Background: Shigella is one of the major cause of dysenteric diarrhea, which is known shigelosis. Shigelosis causes 160,000 deaths annually of diarrheal disease in a global scale especially children less than 5 years old. No licensed vaccine is available against shigelosis, therefore, efforts for develop an effective and safe vaccine against shigella ...
