Aspects of antigen mimicry revealed by immunization with a peptide mimetic of Cryptococcus neoformans polysaccharide.
We have recently identified peptide mimetics of the Cryptococcus neoformans capsular polysaccharide by screening phage display peptide libraries. 2H1, one of a large family of mAbs against the glucuronoxylomannan fraction (GXM), is highly protective and binds several peptide motifs. This study analyzes the immunologic properties of P601E (SYSWMYE), a peptide from the low affinity motif (W/YXWM/...
متن کاملCell-free synthesis of functional antibody fragments to provide a structural basis for antibody–antigen interaction
Growing numbers of therapeutic antibodies offer excellent treatment strategies for many diseases. Elucidation of the interaction between a potential therapeutic antibody and its target protein by structural analysis reveals the mechanism of action and offers useful information for developing rational antibody designs for improved affinity. Here, we developed a rapid, high-yield cell-free system...
متن کاملAntibody molecules and the antigen-antibody interaction
The immune system is a diffuse organ dispersed in the body and basically constitutes lymphoid cells, cytokine and antibody molecules. The latter are the product of lymphoid cells. In the past, the cellular basis for antibody formation was the subject of several theories, e.g., the selective theory according to P EHRLICH (1900), the instructive antigen-template theories as suggested by L PAULING...
متن کاملSome Aspects of the Structural Organization of the Myofibril as Revealed by Antibody-staining Methods
FROM OBSERVATIONS OF FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY STAINING AND ANTIBODY STAINING IN ELECTRON MICROSCOPY, EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED FOR THE FOLLOWING: (a) Direct contact of the actin and myosin filaments occurs at all stages of contraction. This results in inhibition of antibody staining of the H-meromyosin portion of the myosin molecule in the region of overlap of the thin and thick filaments. (b) Small st...
متن کاملProteochemometric Modeling of the Antigen-Antibody Interaction: New Fingerprints for Antigen, Antibody and Epitope-Paratope Interaction
Despite the high specificity between antigen and antibody binding, similar epitopes can be recognized or cross-neutralized by paratopes of antibody with different binding affinities. How to accurately characterize this slight variation which may or may not change the antigen-antibody binding affinity is a key issue in this area. In this report, by combining cylinder model with shell structure m...
