Immunogenicity of a Triple Diphtheria-Tetanus-Whole Cell Pertussis Vaccine in Iranian Preschool Children
Background: Immunization against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis has been applied in Iran since 1950. WHO suggests periodical evaluation of effectiveness of the triple diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis (DTwP) vaccine, worldwide. Objectives: To determine the immunogenicity of locally manufactured DTwP vaccine administered to preschool children in a number of health centers of Tehran in 2...
متن کاملEstablishment of a yeast-based VLP platform for antigen presentation
BACKGROUND Chimeric virus-like particles (VLP) allow the display of foreign antigens on their surface and have proved valuable in the development of safe subunit vaccines or drug delivery. However, finding an inexpensive production system and a VLP scaffold that allows stable incorporation of diverse, large foreign antigens are major challenges in this field. RESULTS In this study, a versatil...
متن کاملSelf-Assembling Peptide Epitopes as Novel Platform for Anticancer Vaccination
The aim of the present study was to improve the immunogenicity of peptide epitope vaccines using novel nanocarriers based on self-assembling materials. Several studies demonstrated that peptide antigens in nanoparticulate form induce stronger immune responses than their soluble forms. However, several issues such as poor loading and risk of inducing T cell anergy due to premature release of ant...
متن کاملEndothelial Cell-Mediated Antigen Presentation*
Immune recognition of endothelial cells (ECs) has been implicated in a number of vascular diseases. Although ECs have been shown to stimulate T lymphocytes in vitro, these conditions were not physiological, and it remained unclear what occurred in vivo. Antigen presentation by ECs in vivo was tested using transgenic mice that express a protein antigen (β-galactosidase, β-gal) exclusively in the...
متن کاملA self-assembling fluorescent dipeptide conjugate for cell labelling.
Derivatives of fluorophore FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) are widely used in bioassays to label proteins and cells. An N-terminal leucine dipeptide is attached to FITC, and we show that this simple conjugate molecule is cytocompatible and is uptaken by cells (human dermal and corneal fibroblasts) in contrast to FITC itself. Co-localisation shows that FITC-LL segregates in peri-nuclear and in...
