  • A common denominator of the sensitiz-ing compounds is the expression of reactive groups, such as Cl, F, Br, and SO 3 H, which en-able them to bind covalently to the carrier protein. (brainkart.com)
  • When guinea pigs are immunized with egg albumin and ad-juvant, not only do they become allergic, as discussed earlier, but they also develop cell-mediated hypersensitivity to the antigen. (brainkart.com)
  • Moreover, VLPs offer interesting biotechnological advantages as they can serve as scaffolds for presenting heterologous antigens capable of inducing immune responses against other infectious diseases. (nature.com)
  • Year-to-date, IMV shares have generated strong returns of 66.2 per cent despite modest share price recalibration since May, 2017, and we believe returns have been generated through seminal pipeline advances on the firm's lipid-based, water-free antigen formulation platform DepoVax, for which multiple phase I/II clinical initiatives - mostly in cancer and infectious disease - are either ongoing or about to be.

  • Six antigens (FepA, EmrK, FhuA, MdtA, NlpB, and CjrA) were identified in in vivo testing as capable of producing binding IgG and complement-mediated bactericidal antibody. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The CDC and the WHO recommend that all infants be vaccinated using a polysaccharide-protein conjugate Hib vaccine, starting after the age of six weeks. (wikipedia.org)
  • Producing an efficient vaccine against heroin addiction has been particularly challenging because of the need to generate potent immune response against heroin as well as its multiple psychoactive metabolites [6]. (biomedres.us)
  • It can be used to develop novel stand-alone therapies or it can be readily combined with other immunotherapeutic approaches, such as potent immune modulators and popular checkpoint inhibitors, for the purpose of improving clinical outcomes. (equities.com)
  • Injectable polymer-nanoparticle (PNP) hydrogels are leveraged as a depot technology for the sustained delivery of a nanoparticle antigen (RND-NP) displaying multiple copies of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) and potent adjuvants including CpG and 3M-052. (uw.edu)
  • A unique feature of delayed hypersensitivity is that T lymphocytes are mostly involved in the antihapten response, while in most experimentally induced hapten-carrier responses the hapten is recognized by B lymphocytes. (brainkart.com)
  • These antigens were expressed and probed with acute and convalescent serum from microbiologically confirmed Shigella infections. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The former encompasses the trisaccharide Galα1,3Galβ1,4GlcNAcα (Galα3LNα), an immunodominant glycotope found on the trypomastigote mucins, coupled to a maleimide-modified human serum albumin as carrier protein. (utep.edu)
  • The animals that received serum will develop an anaphylactic response immediately after challenge, while those that received lymphocytes will only show sig-nals of a considerably less severe reaction after at least 24 hours have elapsed from the time of challenge. (brainkart.com)
  • AAHI has developed a safe and immunogenic tuberculosis (TB) vaccine candidate that elicits robust immune responses in adults, in a cost-effective formulation that can withstand extreme temperatures, so that it can efficiently and equitably be made available in low-and-middle income countries most burdened by TB.
