متن کاملComparing New-Generation Candidate Vaccines against Human Orthopoxvirus Infections
The lack of immunity to the variola virus in the population, increasingly more frequent cases of human orthopoxvirus infection, and increased risk of the use of the variola virus (VARV) as a bioterrorism agent call for the development of modern, safe vaccines against orthopoxvirus infections. We previously developed a polyvalent DNA vaccine based on five VARV antigens and an attenuated variant ...
متن کاملSignificance of zinc in innate immune defense against Streptococcus pyogenes.
When we think about trace elements and bacterial virulence, iron is usually the first metal that comes up. Zinc, although often forgotten, is the second most abundant trace element, after iron, in humans. Plasma concentrations of zinc range between 12 and 16 μM, and practically all zinc is bound to albumin or other proteins [1]. Zinc is found at low levels on mucosal surfaces; in sputum and bro...
