Epitope and Paratope Mapping by HDX-MS Combined with SPR Elucidates the Difference in Bactericidal Activity of Two Anti-NadA Monoclonal Antibodies

Epitope and Paratope Mapping by HDX-MS Combined with SPR Elucidates the Difference in Bactericidal Activity of Two Anti-NadA Monoclonal Antibodies

Characterization of antigen-antibody interactions is essential for understanding antibody-mediated safety towards pathogens, biopharmaceutical growth, in addition to analysis of the immune response put up vaccination. Bexsero is a multicomponent vaccine towards Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B through which one of many key vaccine antigens is Neisserial adhesin A (NadA), a trimeric coiled-coil protein. Two NadA-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) […]

Identification of a novel protective human monoclonal antibody, LXY8, that targets the key neutralizing epitopes of staphylococcal enterotoxin B

Identification of a novel protective human monoclonal antibody, LXY8, that targets the key neutralizing epitopes of staphylococcal enterotoxin B

Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), one of many exotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus, is the important thing toxin that causes poisoning reactions and poisonous shock syndrome. Within the present analysis work, a novel human antibody named LXY8 was screened from a human phage show antibody library, and LXY8 blocked the interplay between SEB and the T

Rational Design of a Pan-Coronavirus Vaccine Based on Conserved CTL Epitopes

Rational Design of a Pan-Coronavirus Vaccine Based on Conserved CTL Epitopes

With the speedy international unfold of the Coronavirus Illness 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a protected and efficient vaccine in opposition to human coronaviruses (HCoVs) is believed to be a prime precedence within the subject of public well being. As a result of frequent outbreaks of various HCoVs, the event of a pan-HCoVs vaccine is of nice

Immunoinformatics analysis to design novel epitope based vaccine candidate targeting the glycoprotein and nucleoprotein of Lassa mammarenavirus (LASMV) using strains from Nigeria

Immunoinformatics analysis to design novel epitope based vaccine candidate targeting the glycoprotein and nucleoprotein of Lassa mammarenavirus (LASMV) using strains from Nigeria

Lassa mammarenavirus (LASMV) is answerable for a particular sort of acute viral hemorrhagic fever generally known as Lassa fever. Lack of efficient therapies and counter-measures towards the virus has resulted in a excessive mortality fee in its endemic areas. Subsequently, on this research, a novel epitope-based vaccine has been designed utilizing the strategies of immunoinformatics

Development of multi-epitope peptide-based vaccines against SARS-CoV-2

Development of multi-epitope peptide-based vaccines against SARS-CoV-2

Extreme acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has precipitated a pandemic involving so excess of 32 million infections and 980,031 deaths. Efficient vaccines are urgently wanted to stop SARS-CoV-2 infections. No vaccines have but been accepted for licensure by regulatory businesses. Although host immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infections are starting to be unravelled, efficient clearance

Antibodies to synthetic citrullinated peptide epitope correlate with disease activity and flares in rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), caused by the abnormal recognition of human joint cells by autoimmune antibodies, remains the world’s most prevalent autoimmune disease, with over five million people affected and as much as 4% of the population at risk of RA. To prevent rapid disease development, hormonal and anti-inflammatory therapies require fast and reliable RA discovery with the

Synthesis, biological evaluation and preclinical study of a novel 99mTc-peptide: A targeting probe of amyloid-β plaques as a possible diagnostic agent for Alzheimer’s disease.

With respect to the main role of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques as one of the pathological hallmarks in the brain of Alzheimer’s patients, the development of new imaging probes for targeted detection of Aβ plaques has attracted considerable interests. In this study, a novel cyclopentadienyl tricarbonyl Technetium-99 m (99mTc) agent with peptide scaffold, 99mTc-Cp-GABA-D-(FPLIAIMA)-NH2, for binding to the Aβ

Fractional Synthesis Rates of Individual Proteins in Rat Soleus and Plantaris Muscles.

Differences in the protein composition of fast– and slow-twitch muscle may be maintained by different rates of protein turnover. We investigated protein turnover rates in slow-twitch soleus and fast-twitch plantaris of male Wistar rats (body weight 412 ± 69 g). Animals were assigned to four groups (n = 3, in each), including a control group (0 d) and
