Improved Formulation of a Recombinant Ricin A-Chain Vaccine Iincreases its Stability and Effective Antigenicity
Ricin is a potent toxin associated with bioterrorism for which no vaccine or specific countermeasures are currently available. A stable, non-toxic and immunogenic recombinant ricin A-chain vaccine (RTA 1-33/44-198) has been developed by protein engineering. We identified optimal formulation conditions for this vaccine under which it remained stable and potent in storage for up to 18 months, and...

متن کاملAntigenicity and immunogenicity of collagen.
Pertinent issues of collagen antigenicity and immunogenicity are concisely reviewed as they relate to the design and application of biomedical devices. A brief discussion of the fundamental concepts of collagen immunochemistry is presented, with a subsequent review of documented clinical responses to devices containing reconstituted soluble or solubilized collagen. The significance of atelocoll...
متن کاملPerspectives on antigenicity and idiotypy.
The recent crystal determination of a lysozyme-antilysozyme complex provides a three-dimensional prototype of the manner in which contacts in idiotype-anti-idiotype interactions may be realized. Such interactions can be approximated by two complementary "flat" surfaces. Each IDR (autoantigenic locus) location might provide a particular recognition feature between two interacting partners. The c...
متن کاملAntigenicity of Gelatin
The effects of physical and enzymatic treatments of gelatin on the gelatin-antigelatin reaction have been presented. The data obtained indicate that the gelatin-antigelatin reaction is indeed a specific one. It appears that a definite limiting molecular size and specific molecular pattern of this molecular unit are necessary for reaction with antibody.
