Contribution of immunological memory to protective immunity conferred by a Bacillus anthracis protective antigen-based vaccine.
Protective antigen (PA)-based vaccination is an effective countermeasure to anthrax infection. While neutralizing anti-PA antibody titers elicited by this vaccine serve as good correlates for protection against anthrax (S. Reuveny, M. D. White, Y. Y. Adar, Y. Kafri, Z. Altboum, Y. Gozes, D. Kobiler, A. Shafferman, and B. Velan, Infect. Immun. 69:2888-2893, 2001), no data are available on the co...
متن کاملImmunological memory in innate immunity.
‘trained immunity’. Trained immunity provides protection against reinfection in a T-/B-cell-independent manner, with nonspecific potentiation of inflammatory reactions and antimicrobial mechanisms playing a central role in these effects [4] . The current issue of the Journal of Innate Immunity presents a series of studies that shed additional light on important aspects of the adaptive propertie...
متن کاملTranslating Innate Immunity into Immunological Memory: Implications for Vaccine Development
Vaccination is the most effective means of preventing infectious diseases. Despite the success of many vaccines, there is presently little knowledge of the immunological mechanisms that mediate their efficacy. Such information will be critical in the design of future vaccines against old and new infectious diseases. Recent advances in immunology are beginning to provide an intellectual framewor...
متن کاملImmunological characterization of a protective antigen of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae: identification of the region responsible for protective immunity.
The gene encoding a protective protein antigen of the gram-positive bacterium Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, an important veterinary pathogen responsible for erysipelas in swine and a variety of diseases in animals, was cloned and sequenced. The gene encodes a polypeptide of 597 amino acids plus a putative signal sequence of 29 amino acids, resulting in a mature protein with a molecular mass of ...
متن کاملImmunological genomics of Brugia malayi: filarial genes implicated in immune evasion and protective immunity.
Filarial nematodes are metazoan parasites with genome sizes of> 100 million base pairs, probably encoding 15 000-20 000 genes. Within this considerable gene complement, it seems likely that filariae have evolved a spectrum of immune evasion products which underpin their ability to live for many years within the human host. Moreover, no suitable vaccine currently exists for human filarial diseas...
