چکیده
containing a large amount of neutral sugars showed no complement fixation inhibition. while a O.5N HCI eluate containing proteins alone and one containing proteins and hexosamine showed a slight complenient fixation inhibition, The remaval of lipids from the type specific antigen by hydrolyzing with 1 N HCI for 4 minutes, followed by dialysis, revealed a very strong complement fixation inhibition. An attempt to separate sugars and proteins in the lipidsdeprived type specific antigen by treatment with pyridine was unsuccessfut; and

Cloning and Expression of Leptospira LipL32 Antigen as a Candidate for Rapid Diagnosis
Background and Objective: Leptospirosis as an important emerging infectious zoonotic disease caused by spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. Given the low sensitivity and long duration of its culture, the diagnosis of leptospirosis is mainly based on serological methods. The microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is considered as the reference method. Because of the complexity of the MAT, there is...
متن کاملPriming Hepatitis B Surface (HBsAg)- and Core Antigen (HBcAg)-Specific Immune Responses by Chimeric, HBcAg with a HBsAg ‘a’ Determinant
We developed an immunogen to stimulate multivalent immunity against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antigens (HBcAg). Immune responses specific for both HBsAg and HBcAg play an important role in controlling the infection. HBsAg-specific antibodies mediate elimination of virions at an early stage of infection and prevent the spread of virus. The immunogen was constructed...
متن کاملRecombinant VP1 Protein of FMD Virus Type O/IRN/2010 as an Immunogenic Peptide Expression System
Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is highly contagious disease among cloven-hoofed animals. FMD virus has structural and non-structural proteins. Vp1 is the most immunogenic structural peptides of FMD virus, applied for major vaccine studies. Objective: Construction of Pet28-VP1 cassette for FMD virus type O/IRN/2010 and expression VP1 peptide as the most immunogenic antigen was the aim of this stud...
متن کاملPCR Typing of Trichophyton Rubrum Isolates by Specific Amplification of Subrepeat Elements in Ribosomal DNA Nontranscribed Spacer
Background: Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) is the most common cause of dermatophytosis of skin and nail tissue. Strain identification in Trichophyton rubrum is important for identification of strain-related differences in infectivity potential or transmissibility and epidemiological studies. PCR typing could determine whether the original isolate is responsible for re-infection or a new strain...
متن کاملIsolation of type-specific polysaccharide antigen from group B type Ib streptococci
Group B streptococcus type Ib (strain H36B) was subjected to digestion with extracellular muralytic enzymes prepared from Streptomyces albus. Type Ib-specific polysaccharide antigen was isolated from the lysate by alcohol precipitation and Sepharose 6B chromatography. The purified type Ib antigen has a Kd value of 0.31 on a Sepharose 4B column and contains four sugars, galactose, glucose, N-ace...
