Development of cysteine cathepsin inhibitors combined with cell type-specific delivery for the treatment of B-cell lymphoma and solid tumors

Cysteine cathepsins proteases are enzymes that play essential physiological roles, but their activity is also associated to different aspects of cancer progression and to the development of other diseases. Therefore, cysteine cathepsins are relevant and pr ...

Invasive Streptococcal Infection Can Lead to the Generation of Cross-Strain Opsonic Antibodies

Hamed Khakzad

The bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes is a common cause of both mild and severe human diseases resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality each year. No vaccines are available, and our understanding of the antibody response to this human pathogen is st ...

Engineering cancer vaccines using stimuli-responsive biomaterials

Li Tang, Yugang Guo, Yu Zhao

Cancer vaccines aimed at expanding the pool or increasing the activity of tumor-specific T cells against malignancies is an important immunotherapy modality that has been extensively pursued in the past decades. However, the clinical efficacy of cancer vac ...

Simulation and Theory of Antibody Binding to Crowded Antigen-Covered Surfaces

Paolo De Los Rios, Giuseppe Foffi, Francesco Piazza

In this paper we introduce a fully flexible coarse-grained model of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies parametrized directly on cryo-EM data and simulate the binding dynamics of many IgGs to antigens adsorbed on a surface at increasing densities. Moreover, ...

NK Cells Respond to Haptens by the Activation of Calcium Permeable Plasma Membrane Channels

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick

Natural Killer (NK) cells mediate innate immunity to infected and transformed cells. Yet, NK cells can also mount hapten-specific recall responses thereby contributing to contact hypersensitivity (CHS). However, since NK cells lack antigen receptors that a ...

Ligand substitutions between ruthenium-cymene compounds can control protein versus DNA targeting and anticancer activity

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ursula Röthlisberger, Wee Han Ang, Alexey Nazarov, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Catherine Marie Amélie Clavel, Michael Groessl

Ruthenium compounds have become promising alternatives to platinum drugs by displaying specific activities against different cancers and favourable toxicity and clearance properties. Nonetheless, their molecular targeting and mechanism of action are poorly ...

Component-resolved diagnostic of cow’s milk allergy by immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis – matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

Hubert Girault, Natalia Gasilova

Component-resolved diagnostic (CRD) of cow’s milk allergy has been performed using immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis (IACE) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). First, total IgE quantification in the ...

Therapeutic Immunomodulation of the Lymphoid-like Tumor Environment Using Nanoparticulate Formulations

Iraklis Kourtis

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that lead to tumor escape and evasion is pivotal for the design of new therapeutic applications. This thesis takes an immunobioengineering approach, and navigates through ...

Nanoparticle size influences the magnitude and quality of mucosal immune responses after intranasal immunization

Eleonora Simeoni, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Armando Stano

Background: The development of nanoparticulate antigen-delivery systems is an important emerging area of vaccinology, being sought to amplify immune responses to recombinant antigens that are poorly immunogenic. Nanoparticle size may play an important role ...

Engineering complement activation on polypropylene sulfide vaccine nanoparticles

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Conlin O'Neil, Sai Reddy, Susan Thomas

The complement system is an important regulator of both adaptive and innate immunity, implicating complement as a potential target for immunotherapeutics. We have recently presented lymph node-targeting, complement-activating nanoparticles (NPs) as a vacci ...
