چکیده
rendered background IgE levels only. In accordance, sera of OVA mice which permitted mast cell degranulation upon OVA trigger in a specific b-hexosaminidase release assay, whereas sera of OVA-AAVLP mice did not contain anaphylactogenic antibodies. In an in vivo anaphylaxis experiment, upon intravenous OVA challenge OVA-immunized mice presented significant drop of body temperature, whereas AAVLP-OVA mice remained unaffected. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates the immunogenicity, safety and efficacy of AAVLP as display system of B-cell epitopes for vaccination.

Immunotherapy – 2068. Immunomodulatory and safety profile of a novel anti-allergic vaccine based on allergens from dermatophagoides siboney and a combination adjuvant, in sensitized mice
Background Th1/Tr1 promoting adjuvants, in allergen-specific vaccines, could be a valuable alternative to the current allergen immunotherapy. It is now the pro-Th1 adjuvant effect of Neisseria meningitidis proteoliposome (PL). Previous studies in a prophylactic murine model of respiratory allergy the vaccine showed its immunogenicity and safety. To assess the immunogenicity and non-clinical saf...

Objective(s): The porins A and B and also outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) of Neisseria meningitidis are used for vaccine purposes. In the present study, we aimed to design a new vaccine candidate based on a fusion of PorA of serogroups A and B of N. meningitidis admixed with OMV and evaluate it in an animal model.Materials and Methods: Af...

Neisseria meningitidis is a major causative agent of bacterial septicemia and meningitis in humans. Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent disease caused by strains of N.meningitidis serogroup B. The Class 1 Outer Membrane Protein (OMP) has been named porA which is a cation selective transmembrane protein of 45 KDa that forms trimeric pore in the meningococcal outer membrane. PorA from ser...

متن کاملTruncated Core/NS3 Fusion Protein of HCV Adjuvanted with Outer Membrane Vesicles of Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B: Potent Inducer of the Murine Immune System
Background: A licensed vaccine against hepatitis C virus (HCV) has not become available to date. The stability and antigenicity of a targeted synthesized recombinant fusion protein consisting of a truncated core and NS3 (rC/N) of HCV had been predicted. Although safe antigens, recombinant proteins are not efficacious vaccines without adjuvants. The present study evaluated the immunogenicity of ...
