Studies on an Inhibitor of Vaccinia Hemagglutinin*
نویسنده
چکیده
The inhibitor of vaccinia hemagglutinin appearing in the ascites of the Ehrlich carcinoma of the mouse has been characterized and partially purified. The biological and chemical properties of this substance indicate that it has much in common with inhibitors reported previously in other biological material and suggest that, like these, it, too, is mucoprotein in nature. The inhibitor is found not only in the ascites of the Ehrlich carcinoma but in the ascites of various other tumors of the mouse.

Many works were made on the biological application of mustard gas and nitrogen mustard. The mechanism of the biological action of mustards , however, remains largely unknown, and many experimental results have been accumulated to, suggest its mode of actions(1) , among which much attention has been called to the analogy of its action to those of X-ray irradiation or of hydrogen peroxide(2). Her...
متن کاملAttenuation of Vaccinia Virus.
Since 1980, in the post-smallpox vaccination era the human population has become increasingly susceptible compared to a generation ago to not only the variola (smallpox) virus, but also other zoonotic orthopoxviruses. The need for safer vaccines against orthopoxviruses is even greater now. The Lister vaccine strain (LIVP) of vaccinia virus was used as a parental virus for generating a recombina...
متن کاملVaccinia virus hemagglutinin. A novel member of the immunoglobulin superfamily
Striking similarities between vaccinia virus hemagglutinin (VVHA) and proteins belonging to the Ig superfamily clearly indicate that VVHA, a 315-amino acid glycoprotein expressed on the surface of the infected cells, is a novel viral protein that can be added to the expanding list of the Ig superfamily. Its deduced amino acid sequence contains one Ig-like domain at the NH2 terminus, followed by...

Currently, there are only two approved vaccines against influenza virus, one containing killed virus and the other containing live, attenuated virus. Each year, there is a reformation of the vaccine formulation, depending on which strains are thought to become most dangerous in the upcoming season. Numerous groups and pharmaceutical companies are developing universal vaccines that would not req...
