We have investigated the therapeutic potential of a prototypic melanoma vaccine based on recombinant adenovirus expressing human dopachrome tautomerase in the B16F10 murine melanoma model. We found that in the presence of a tumor, the magnitude of T-cell i ...
Intestinal helminths infect approximately 2 billion people worldwide. Worm burdens correlate with disease morbidity and children generally harbor the largest numbers. The majority of intestinal helminths do not replicate within their host, and worm burdens ...
Vaccines aiming to activate cytotoxic T cells require cross-presentation of exogenous antigen by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). We recently developed a synthetic nanoparticle vaccine platform that targets lymph node-resident dendritic cells (DCs), capabl ...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a growing world health problem, especially in developing countries. The only available vaccine is the hundred years old Bacille de Calmette et Guérin (BCG). It has been shown to reduce infant mortality, but it is not an effective metho ...
Similar T helper (Th)2-type immune responses are generated against different helminth parasites, but the mechanisms that initiate Th2 immunity, and the specific immune components that mediate protection against these parasites, can vary greatly. B cells ar ...
P>The effects of nanogel encapsulation of recombinant NcPDI (recNcPDI) following vaccination of mice by intranasal or intraperitoneal routes and challenge infection with Neospora caninum tachyzoites were investigated. Nanogels were chitosan based, with an ...
Vaccines that drive robust T-cell immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) are needed both for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. We have recently developed a synthetic vaccine delivery platform with Pluronic-stabilized polypropylene sulfide n ...
Owing to its highly immunodominant nature and ability to induce long-lived memory immunity, ESAT-6. a prominent antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has been employed in several approaches to develop tuberculosis vaccines Here, for the first time, we com ...
The emergence of recombinant DNA technology has shifted research towards developing subunit vaccines, which use protein or peptide antigens instead of live/attenuated pathogens. Recent research has also shown that the best way to get sustained immunity is ...
The delivery of antigens on degradable nanoparticles, directly to dendritic cells residing in lymph nodes, offers great opportunities for vaccine design. This master thesis investigates the issues related to the development of vaccines based on ultrasmall ...
