Immunogenicity of polysaccharides conjugated to peptides containing T- and B-cell epitopes.
To develop a general model of polysaccharide-peptide vaccine, we have investigated the efficiency of linear peptides derived from protein SR, and adhesin of the I/II protein antigen family of oral streptococci, to act as carriers for two T cell-independent polysaccharides: serogroup f polysaccharide from Streptococcus mutans OMZ 175 (poly f) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae mannan. Peptide 3 (YEKEP...
متن کاملIdentification of linear epitopes on Semliki Forest virus E2 membrane protein and their effectiveness as a synthetic peptide vaccine.
Semliki Forest virus (SFV) infection of mice was used as a model to study the applicability of synthetic peptides containing only linear epitopes as viral vaccines. The identification of linear epitopes with vaccine potential on the E2 membrane protein of SFV was based on the binding of SFV-specific antibodies to a set of overlapping synthetic hexapeptides (Pepscan) representing the whole E2 am...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) polytope vaccine containing multiple HLA A2 HIV CD8(+) cytotoxic T-cell epitopes.
Compelling evidence now suggests that alphabeta CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) have an important role in preventing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and/or slowing progression to AIDS. Here, we describe an HIV type 1 CTL polyepitope, or polytope, vaccine comprising seven contiguous minimal HLA A2-restricted CD8 CTL epitopes conjoined in a single artificial construct. Epitope-spec...
متن کاملAnalysis of T- and B-cell epitopes of capsid protein of rubella virus by using synthetic peptides.
A nested set of 11 overlapping synthetic peptides covering the entire sequence of rubella virus capsid protein was synthesized, purified, and tested against human rubella virus-specific T-cell lines and rubella virus-seropositive sera. T-cell lines derived from four donors responded strongly to four synthetic peptides containing residues 96 to 123, 119 to 152, 205 to 233, and 255 to 280. Only o...
متن کاملSynthetic peptides in the determination of hepatitis A virus T-cell epitopes.
Computer search for probable T-epitopes of hepatitis A virus capsid proteins was performed using an integrated set of programs. Eight segments of the VP1, VP2, VP3 and VP4 proteins were chosen and synthesised. Five peptides previously examined as probable B-epitopes were used as well. All the peptides were tested for their ability to stimulate proliferation of lymph node T-cells primed with syn...
