Working with Miraculous Mice: Mus musculus as a Model Organism

Current Protocols, Volume 4, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract The laboratory mouse has been described as a “miracle” model organism, providing a window by which we may gain an understanding of ourselves. Since the first recorded mouse experiment in 1664, the mouse has become the most used animal model in biomedical research.

Targeting TLR2 for Vaccine Development

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Novel and more effective immunization strategies against many animal diseases may profit from the current knowledge on the modulation of specific immunity through stimulation of innate immune receptors. Toll‐like receptor (TLR)2‐targeting formulations, such as synthetic lipopeptides and antigens expressed in fusion with lipoproteins, have been shown to

T-cell epitopes of the major peach allergen, Pru p 3: Identification and differential T-cell response of peach-allergic and non-allergic subjects [PDF]

, 2009
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs), particularly peach Pru p 3, are the most relevant plant food allergens in the South of Europe, and, therefore, their allergic properties have been extensively studied.

Identification of Antigens Specific to Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria: The Mce Family of Proteins as a Target of T Cell Immune Responses [PDF]

, 2011
The lack of an effective TB vaccine hinders current efforts in combating the TB pandemic. One theory as to why BCG is less protective in tropical countries is that exposure to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) reduces BCG efficacy.
