Protection against group A streptococcus by immunization with J8-diphtheria toxoid: contribution of J8- and diphtheria toxoid-specific antibodies to protection.
A conformationally constrained, minimally conserved peptide from the M protein of group A streptococcus (GAS) has been defined. It consists of 12 amino acids from the C-repeat region within a non-M protein helix-forming sequence and is referred to as "J8." Here, we investigate the immunogenicity of a J8-diphtheria toxoid (DT) conjugate adjuvanted with the human-compatible adjuvants, SBAS2 and a...
متن کاملMechanism of Protection Induced by Group A Streptococcus Vaccine Candidate J8-DT: Contribution of B and T-Cells Towards Protection
Vaccination with J8-DT, a leading GAS vaccine candidate, results in protective immunity in mice. Analysis of immunologic correlates of protection indicated a role of J8-specific antibodies that were induced post-immunization. In the present study, several independent experimental approaches were employed to investigate the protective immunological mechanisms involved in J8-DT-mediated immunity....
متن کاملHuman monoclonal antibodies to group B streptococcus. Reactivity and in vivo protection against multiple serotypes
Group B streptococcal (GBS) infections cause significant mortality and morbidity among infants. Passive antibody immunotherapy has been proposed as treatment for infected infants. To this end, two human mAb-secreting cell lines were produced by EBV immortalization of human B cells. The mAbs were specific for the group B polysaccharide and bound to strains of all five serotypes as demonstrated b...
متن کاملProtection against Streptococcus pneumoniae elicited by immunization with pneumolysin and CbpA.
The need for the development of cheap and effective vaccines against pneumococcal disease has necessitated the evaluation of common virulence-associated proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae as potential vaccine antigens. In this study, we examined the capacity of active immunization with a genetic toxoid derivative of pneumolysin (PdB) and/or a fragment of choline binding protein A (CbpA; also ...
متن کاملa comparative study of language learning strategies employmed by bilinguals and monolinguals with reference to attitudes and motivation
هدف از این تحقیق بررسی برخی عوامل ادراکی واحساسی یعنی استفاده از شیوه های یادگیری زبان ، انگیزه ها ونگرش نسبت به زبان انگلیسی در رابطه با زمینه زبانی زبان آموزان می باشد. هدف بررسی این نکته بود که آیا اختلافی چشمگیر میان زبان آموزان دو زبانه و تک زبانه در میزان استفاده از شیوه های یادگیری زبان ، انگیزه ها نگرش و سطح مهارت زبانی وجود دارد. همچنین سعی شد تا بهترین و موثرترین عوامل پیش بینی کننده ...
