Room Temperature Stable PspA-Based Nanovaccine Induces Protective Immunity
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major causative agent of pneumonia, a debilitating disease particularly in young and elderly populations, and is the leading worldwide cause of death in children under the age of five. While there are existing vaccines against S. pneumoniae, none are protective across all serotypes. Pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA), a key virulence factor of S. pneumoniae, is ...
متن کاملA stable room-temperature sodium–sulfur battery
High-energy rechargeable batteries based on earth-abundant materials are important for mobile and stationary storage technologies. Rechargeable sodium-sulfur batteries able to operate stably at room temperature are among the most sought-after platforms because such cells take advantage of a two-electron-redox process to achieve high storage capacity from inexpensive electrode materials. Here we...
متن کاملRoom temperature stable single - photon source
We report on the realization of a stable solid state room temperature source for single photons. It is based on the fluorescence of a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color center in a diamond nanocrystal. Antibunching has been observed in the fluorescence light under both continuous and pulsed excitation. Our source delivers 2 × 10 s−1 single-photon pulses at an excitation repetition rate of 10 MH...
متن کاملPowerful, room-temperature stable LiF:F2** tunable laser
A powerful photoand thermostable, LiF:Fj** color center laser pumped by radiation at 740 nm (alexandrite laser) or at 683 nm (Raman shifted (H2) second harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser) is described. This is the first time an average power as high as —1.4 W and an energy per pulse as high as 1OOmJ, with record real efficiency of 53% (683 nm pumping) and 28% (740 nm pumping) were achieved for a room t...
متن کاملImmunization with PspA incorporated into a poly(ethylene oxide) matrix elicits protective immunity against Streptococcus pneumoniae.
CBA/N mice were immunized with PspA in a poly(ethylene oxide) matrix to examine its ability to deliver the antigen and modulate the immune response. All mice receiving PspA in the matrix survived a lethal pneumococcal challenge and had serum anti-PspA antibody levels statistically higher than mice receiving PspA alone (P < 0.009).
