Epitope spreading induced by immunization with synthetic SSB peptides
Sjogren's syndrome type B (SSB)/La antibody is an autoantibody generally observed in connective tissue diseases whereas double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) antibodies are the most characteristic autoantibodies found in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. The relationship of these autoantibodies remains unclear. The aim of the study was to determine the profile of antibody pro...
متن کاملAntibody responses to non-immunogenic synthetic peptides induced by co-immunization with immunogenic peptides.
Chimeric peptides comprising B- and T-helper cell epitopes from the proteins of infectious agents represent immunogens with potential for use as new vaccines. However, it has become clear that the orientation of the epitopes, the presence of spacer residues and the number of copies of the epitopes influence the specificity, levels and affinity of the antibody produced following immunization wit...
متن کاملVEGF Targeting Agents in Ovarian Cancer
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is a critical component in the growth and metastasis of cancers and has been recognized as an attractive target for anticancer therapy (Ferrara, 2002). Among the pro-angiogenic factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is recognized as the predominant mediator of angiogenesis in tumor cells (Ferrara & Kerbel, 2005). As VEGF is overexpre...
متن کاملImmunization with HCV synthetic peptides conjugated to the P64k protein elicited strong antibody response in mice
Two synthetic peptides comprising aa regions in the NS4 protein (aa 1689-1735) and the hypervariable region I (HVR I, aa 384-414) in the HCV E2 protein were conjugated to the P64k protein, a previously demonstrated carrier protein. These peptides were also conjugated to the Co.120 protein, a truncated HCV core variant, to evaluate for the first time its ability as a carrier for B cell epitopes....
متن کاملImmunization with synthetic peptides of a Plasmodium falciparum surface antigen induces antimerozoite antibodies.
Polypeptides expressed on the surface of merozoites, the invasive stage of the asexual blood cycle, are good candidates for the development of malaria vaccines. Five synthetic peptides with predetermined specificity deduced from a genomic DNA clone coding for the NH2-terminal portion of the main merozoite surface polypeptide of Plasmodium falciparum were evaluated for their capability to raise ...
