Immunological and Therapeutic Strategies against Salmonid Cryptobiosis
Salmonid cryptobiosis is caused by the haemoflagellate, Cryptobia salmositica. Clinical signs of the disease in salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) include exophthalmia, general oedema, abdominal distension with ascites, anaemia, and anorexia. The disease-causing factor is a metalloprotease and the monoclonal antibody (mAb-001) against it is therapeutic. MAb-001 does not fix complement but agglutinates ...
متن کاملReview Cryptobia (Trypanoplasma) salmositica and salmonid cryptobiosis
Salmonid cryptobiosis is caused by Cryptobia (Trypanoplasma) salmositica. The haemoflagellate has been reported from all species of Pacific Oncorhynchus spp. on the west coast of North America. It is normally transmitted by the freshwater leech, Piscicola salmositica, in streams and rivers, and sculpins, Cottus spp., are considered important reservoir hosts. The pathogen can also survive on the...
متن کاملTherapeutic Vaccine Strategies against Human Papillomavirus
High-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) cause over 500,000 cervical, anogenital and oropharyngeal cancer cases per year. The transforming potential of HPVs is mediated by viral oncoproteins. These are essential for the induction and maintenance of the malignant phenotype. Thus, HPV-mediated malignancies pose the unique opportunity in cancer vaccination to target immunologically foreign ep...
متن کاملNeuroprotective and Therapeutic Strategies against Parkinson’s Disease: Recent Perspectives
Parkinsonism is a progressive motor disease that affects 1.5 million Americans and is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's. Typical neuropathological features of Parkinson's disease (PD) include degeneration of dopaminergic neurons located in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra that project to the striatum (nigro-striatal pathway) and depositions of cytoplasm...
متن کاملImmunological Tolerance: Therapeutic Induction
Immunological tolerance can be defined as an unresponsiveness of T and/or B cells to self antigens. Low responsiveness of T cells and/or B cells to self antigens could be termed partial tolerance. Protection from the development of autoimmune diseases and acceptance of transplanted organs or tissue are due to effective tolerance to self antigens and alloantigens, respectively. The breakdown of ...
