Epitope spreading induced by immunization with synthetic SSB peptides
Sjogren's syndrome type B (SSB)/La antibody is an autoantibody generally observed in connective tissue diseases whereas double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) antibodies are the most characteristic autoantibodies found in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. The relationship of these autoantibodies remains unclear. The aim of the study was to determine the profile of antibody pro...
متن کاملAntibody responses to non-immunogenic synthetic peptides induced by co-immunization with immunogenic peptides.
Chimeric peptides comprising B- and T-helper cell epitopes from the proteins of infectious agents represent immunogens with potential for use as new vaccines. However, it has become clear that the orientation of the epitopes, the presence of spacer residues and the number of copies of the epitopes influence the specificity, levels and affinity of the antibody produced following immunization wit...
متن کاملProduction of Epitope-Specific Antibodies by Immunization with Synthetic Epitope Peptide Formulated with CpG-DNA-Liposome Complex Without Carriers.
Antibody production using synthetic peptides has been investigated extensively to develop therapeutic antibodies and prophylactic vaccines. Previously, we reported that a complex of CpG-DNA and synthetic peptides corresponding to B cell epitopes, encapsulated in a phosphatidyl-β-oleoyl-γ-palmitoyl ethanolamine (DOPE):cholesterol hemisuccinate (CHEMS) complex, significantly enhanced the syntheti...
متن کاملSynthetic peptides mimicking antigenic epitope of Helicobacter pylori urease.
Short peptides resembling the Helicobacter pylori urease antigen (UreB F8 Ser-Ile-Lys-Glu-Asp-Val-Gln-Phe) with deleted aspartic acid and glutamic acid residues, anchored through a triazine linker via the N-terminal moiety to cellulose plate were prepared. The peptides were used for binding of antibodies from sera of patients with medically confirmed atherosclerosis. Recognition of the peptides...
متن کاملAntibodies elicited by immunization with cyclic synthetic peptides comprising the entire sequence of meningococcal
The possibility was studied of eliciting antibodies that are able to recognize Neisseria meningitidis outer membranes by immunizing with synthetic peptides containing the sequence of the exposed loop 1 (variable region 1 or VR1) subtype P1.19 from meningococcal PorA protein. It has been shown that the antibodies elicited by immunization with a cyclic synthetic peptide containing the apex amino ...
