It remains unclear how the precise length of one-dimensional nanovehicles influences characters vaccination. Here, a unimolecular nanovehicle with tailored size and aspect ratio (AR) is applied to deliver CpG oligodeoxynucleotide, Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9 agonist, as an adjuvant recombinant hepatitis B virus surface antigen (rHBsAg), for treating chronic (CHB). Cationic fixed width (ca. 45 nm...

Brucellosis, produced by Brucella species, is a disease that causes severe economic losses for livestock farms worldwide Due to serious economic and medical consequences of this disease, many efforts have been made to prevent the infection through the use of recombinant vaccines based on Brucella outer membrane protein (OMP) antigens. In the present study, a wide range of on-line prediction sof...

Abstract Immunogenic protein drugs trigger an anti-drug antibody (ADA) response in patients which reduces drug efficacy and increases adverse reactions. Our lab has previously shown that targeting antigen to the liver microenvironment can reduce antigen-specific T cell responses; herein, we present a novel strategy further increase delivery of tolerogenic via conjugation synthetic mannose polym...

background: filamentous hemagglutinin (fha) is one of the most important immunoprotective antigens of bordetella pertussis (b.pertussis) and a major component of the acellular pertussis vaccine. in the present study, three overlapping recombinant fragments from the immunodominant region of fha were produced and their immunogenicity was investigated. methods: three overlapping coding sequences o...

Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) is an effective treatment for hepatitis B, including postexposure prophylaxis of HBV infection, prevention reinfection in liver transplant patients, and reducing sexual transmission. This study investigated the synthesis human IgG antibodies that specifically target HBsAg subtype adr CHL-YN cells, a newly established cell line grows faster than CHO-K1. To achie...

background : echinococcosis or hydatidosis is a chronic, zoonotic worldwide infection caused by the larval stage of the dog taeniid tapeworm echinococcus granulosus. vaccination has been considered as one of the ways to prevent of hy-datidosis in recent decades. the aim of this study was to construct a pcdna3.1 eukaryotic expression vector contain-ing the subunit 8-kda antigen b (hyd1) of e. gr...

Antibodies against a 35-kDa antigen of Borrelia burgdorferi are detectable in the serum of about half of patients with early Lyme disease. The gene encoding this antigen was isolated from a genomic library of B. burgdorferi B31 (low passage), and full-length expression of the recombinant gene product was achieved in Escherichia coli. Antiserum raised against the recombinant protein was reactive...

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 ...
