Effect of Hematin on the Recovery of Bacillus Anthracis and Related Organisms.
نویسنده
چکیده
Freshly prepared alkaline hematin inhibits the growth of many Grampositive organisms, including Bacillus anthracis; Gram-negative organisms, however, are generally not inhibited. Work on a selective medium for isolating B. anthracis that does not contain hematin as a selective ingredient is in progress.

In Silico Prediction of B-Cell and T-Cell Epitopes of Protective Antigen of Bacillus anthracis in Development of Vaccines Against Anthrax
Protective antigen (PA), a subunit of anthrax toxin from Bacillus anthracis, is known as a dominant component in subunit vaccines in protection against anthrax. In order to avoid the side effects of live attenuated and killed organisms, the use of linear neutralizing epitopes of PA is recommended in order to design recombinant vaccines. The present study is aimed at determining the dominant epi...

Background: DNA vaccines are third generation vaccines which have made promises to combat infectious diseases. Cationic liposomes are used as effective delivery systems for DNA vaccines to generate stronger immunity. Objective: Encapsulation of pcDNA3.1+PA plasmid, encoding protective antigen (PA) of Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) into cationic liposomes, and evaluation of its effect on spec...
