L-Rhamnose Is Often an Important Part of Immunodominant Epitope for Pneumococcal Serotype 23F Polysaccharide Antibodies in Human Sera Immunized with PPV23
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major human pathogen which expresses more than 90 serologically distinct capsular polysaccharides (PS) on the surface. Since pneumococcal PSs elicit protective antibodies against pneumococcal diseases, it is important to identify the immunological epitope eliciting anti-pneumococcal PS antibodies. L-rhamnose is a part of the 23 F PS repeating unit and is known to b...
متن کاملPhenotypic and Functional Analysis of HL-60 Cells Used in Opsonophagocytic-Killing Assay for Streptococcus pneumoniae
Differentiated HL-60 is an effector cell widely used for the opsonophagocytic-killing assay (OPKA) to measure efficacy of pneumococcal vaccines. We investigated the correlation between phenotypic expression of immunoreceptors and phagocytic ability of HL-60 cells differentiated with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), or 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VitD3) for 5 days. Ph...
متن کاملEvaluation of antibody responses to pneumococcal vaccines with ELISA and opsonophagocytic assay.
Antibodies to a capsular polysaccharide (PS) provide protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae which express the homologous capsular serotype, and pneumococcal vaccines are designed to induce antibodies in the capsular PS. Levels and opsonophagocytic capacity of antibodies to the capsular PS of S. pneumoniae serotype 19F were determined by sera from adults immunized with 23-valent S. pneumoni...

Background and purpose: Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Acute promyelocytic leukemia, which is the most common type of blood cancer in adults, is the most prevalent type of acute leukemia. This type of cancer is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation, inhibited differentiation of immature myloied progenitors (promyelocytes), and accumulation of abnormal promye...
متن کاملVaccination of COPD patients with a pneumococcus type 6B tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine.
This paper examines how pneumococcal type 6B polysaccharide conjugated to tetanus toxoid (Pn6B-TT) compares to a 23 valent pneumococcal vaccine (pneumococcal polysaccharide (PPS)-23) with respect to immunogenicity and serum opsonic activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients with COPD aged 55-75 yrs were vaccinated with Pn6B-TT (n=10) or with PPS-23 (n=9). H...
