Exploiting antigenic diversity for vaccine design: the chlamydia ArtJ paradigm.
We present an interdisciplinary approach that, by incorporating a range of experimental and computational techniques, allows the identification and characterization of functional/immunogenic domains. This approach has been applied to ArtJ, an arginine-binding protein whose orthologs in Chlamydiae trachomatis (CT ArtJ) and pneumoniae (CPn ArtJ) are shown to have different immunogenic properties ...
متن کاملAntigenic diversity of meningococcal outer membrane protein PorA has implications for epidemiological analysis and vaccine design.
The currently used serological subtyping scheme for the pathogen Neisseria meningitidis is not comprehensive, a proportion of isolates are reported as not subtypeable (NST), and few isolates are fully characterized with two subtypes for each strain. To establish the reasons for this and to assess the effectiveness of DNA-based subtyping schemes, dot blot hybridization and nucleotide sequence an...
متن کاملRhinovirus Biology, Antigenic Diversity, and Advancements in the Design of a Human Rhinovirus Vaccine
Human rhinovirus (HRV) remains a leading cause of several human diseases including the common cold. Despite considerable research over the last 60 years, development of an effective vaccine to HRV has been viewed by many as unfeasible due, in part, to the antigenic diversity of circulating HRVs in nature. Over 150 antigenically distinct types of HRV are currently known which span three species:...
متن کاملExploiting Diversity for Answering Questions
We describe initial experiments in combining the output of question answering systems using data from the 2002 TREC Question Answering task. We explore several distance-based combining methods, as well as a number of distance metrics involving both word and character ngrams.
متن کاملRobust routing paradigms exploiting path diversity: modeling, analysis and design
In this paper we consider feedback-based routing exploiting path diversity that jointly uses best path selection and flow control for optimality and stability. The contributions of the present paper are manifold. We show numerical evidence that routing performance are insensitive to rate coordination along available routes in practical scenarios. Route uncoordination arises in case of in-networ...
