Nanovaccines for Cancer Immunotherapy
There are three major types of therapeutic approaches currently available to combat cancer, namely chemotherapy (which utilises small molecule agents to destroy cancer cells), radiotherapy (radio labelled small molecules) and immunotherapy. The immunotherapy is the oldest among them, which dates back to the discovery of a surgeon known as William B. Coley in 1891, who has treated his patients w...
متن کاملPreparation and antitumor effects of nanovaccines with MAGE-3 peptides in transplanted gastric cancer in mice.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE As a prospective vaccine carrier, nanoparticles can protect antigens from degradation and enhance immune response. This study prepared nanovaccines with MAGE-3-derived CD4+-CD8+T cell epitope peptides, and investigated its character and antitumor effects on transplanted gastric cancer in mice. METHODS We adopted the self-assembly method to prepare peptide/chitosan con...
متن کاملHepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen Variants Clustered Within Immune Epitopes in Chronic Hepatitis B Carriers from Hormozgan Province, South of Iran
Objective(s) The aim of this study was to characterize the hepatitis B virus surface protein genotypes and sequence variations among hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) positive chronic patients in Hormozgan province, south of Iran. Materials and Methods A total of 8 patients enrolled in this study. The surface gene was amplified and directly sequenced. Genotypes and nucleotide/amino a...
متن کاملSynthetic peptides identify promiscuous human Th1 cell epitopes of the secreted mycobacterial antigen MPB70.
MPB70 is a secreted protein of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis which stimulates both cellular and humoral immune responses during infection with bovine and human tubercle bacilli. In addition, vaccination with MPB70 has been shown to induce Th1 cell responses and protection in animal models of tuberculosis. The present study was carried out to map the dominant human Th1 cell ...
متن کاملChimeric Rhinoviruses Displaying MPER Epitopes Elicit Anti-HIV Neutralizing Responses
BACKGROUND The development of an effective AIDS vaccine has been a formidable task, but remains a critical necessity. The well conserved membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of the HIV-1 gp41 glycoprotein is one of the crucial targets for AIDS vaccine development, as it has the necessary attribute of being able to elicit antibodies capable of neutralizing diverse isolates of HIV. METHODOL...
