A Preliminary Assessment of the Recombinant Antigen
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Two recombinant antigens (P22U and PLA2), cloned in a L4 Dirofilaria immitis cDNA library, were analyzed by Western-blot and ELISA to investigate their characteristics for the diagnosis of human dirofilariosis. P22U seems related to a Di22 native antigen useful for the diagnosis of pulmonary dirofilariosis, but it is unspecifically recognized by sera from patients with different parasitic and non parasitic pulmonary diseases. PLA2 is not related to Di22 but specifically reacts in Western-Blot and ELISA with sera from patients with subcutaneous dirofilariosis.

متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of physicochemical and immunological properties of recombinant NS3-G2 dendrimer conjugate
Introduction: An effective vaccine against HCV infection is not available. The non-structural protein 3 (NS3) of the virus as an important immunogenic candidate has been utilized in various modules. Nanostructured polymers have been recently used for efficient vaccine and drug delivery. The aim of the current study was the synthesis of rNS3-G2 conjugate and preliminary evaluation of its immunog...
متن کاملImmunodiagnostic Value of Echinococcus Granulosus Recombinant B8/1 Subunit of Antigen B
Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), as a chronic parasitic disease, is a major health problem in many countries. The performance of the currently available serodiagnostic tests for the diagnosis of CE is unsatisfactory. Objective: The current study aimed at sub-cloning a gene, encoding the B8/1 subunit of antigen B (AgB) from Echinococcus granulosus, using gene optimization for the immunodi...

متن کاملComparison of the Utility of Recombinant B8/2 Subunit of the Antigen B, Native Antigen, and a Commercial ELISA Kit in the Diagnosis of Human Cystic Echinococcosis
Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a helminthic disease caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. In the present study, the B8/2 subunit of antigen B (AgB) of E. granulosus was expressed in E. coli host and then applied in a diagnostic ELISA set up. Methods: The DNA sequence of AgB8/2 subunit from E. granulosus was extracted from the GenBank and codon-optimized. The target s...
