Fibronectin EDA and CpG synergize to enhance antigen-specific Th1 and cytotoxic responses

Eleonora Simeoni, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Alexandre de Titta, Alizée Jéléna Grimm, Ziad Julier

Subunit vaccines, employing purified protein antigens rather than intact pathogens, require the addition of adjuvants for enhanced immunogenicity with a correct balance between strong activation of the immune system and low toxicity. Here we show that the ...

One of the major toxins secreted by H. pylori is the Vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA) named after its ability to induce the formation of "vacuole"-like membrane vesicles in the cytoplasm of gastric cells. VacA has been associated with the disruption of mitoc ...

Engineering nanoparticle-based vaccines: Implications for the quality of humoral and cellular immunity

Marcela Rincón-Restrepo

Vaccination is undoubtedly a major success in modern medicine. Yet, today there are pathogens for which no licensed or fully protective vaccines have been created. Development of vaccines based on subunit components has proven to be a safe and cost effecti ...

The extracellular matrix (ECM) protein fibronectin (FN) is a remarkably multifaceted molecule, including numerous fibronectin type III (FNIII) repeats carrying out different functions, which despite being extensively studied for over thirty years still pre ...

Protein engineering approaches for direct antigen targeting in CD8+ T cell inducing vaccines

Vasiliki Panagiotou

Effective vaccine design and public vaccination programs have led to the eradication of several diseases and protected millions of people from deadly infections. However, intracellular infections remain a challenge and their eradication requires the activa ...

Bacteria inactivation during the drying of struvite fertilizers produced from stored urine

Tamar Kohn, Loïc Decrey, Simon Schindelholz, Manfred Schoger, Kai Udert

Human urine can be processed into market-attractive fertilizers like struvite; however, concerns regarding the microbial safety of such products remain. The present study evaluated the inactivation of in situ heterotrophs, total bacteria as observed by flo ...

Over 25% of the world's population are infected with helminth parasites, the majority of which colonise the gastrointestinal tract. However, no vaccine is yet available for human use, and mechanisms of protective immunity remain unclear. In the mouse model ...

In subunit vaccines, strong CD8(+) T-cell responses are desired, yet they are elusive at reasonable adjuvant doses. We show that targeting adjuvant to the lymph node (LN) via ultrasmall polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), which rapidly drain to the LN after int ...

Immunoglobulin class switching from IgM to IgG in response to peptides is generally T cell-dependent and vaccination in T cell-deficient individuals is inefficient. We show that a vaccine consisting of a dense array of peptides on liposomes induced peptide ...

Peptide-Based Vaccinology: Experimental and Computational Approaches to Target Hypervariable Viruses through the Fine Characterization of Protective Epitopes Recognized by Monoclonal Antibodies and the Identification of T-Cell-Activating Peptides

Matteo Dal Peraro, Matteo Castelli

Defining immunogenic domains of viral proteins capable of eliciting a protective immune response is crucial in the development of novel epitope-based prophylactic strategies. This is particularly important for the selective targeting of conserved regions s ...
