Background: Tuberculosis is a life threatening disease that is partially prevented by BCG vaccine. Development of more effective vaccines is an urgent priority in TB control. Ag85a and Tb10.4 are the members of culture filter protein (CFP) of M. tuberculosis that have high immunogenicity. Objective: To analyze the immunogenicity of Ag85a-Tb10.4 DNA vaccine by enzyme-linked immunosorbent as...

• Current two important SARS-CoV-2 variants are D614 G and N501Y. They cause S1 of the spike protein to open conformation. Open conformation may increase transmissibility virus. also immunogenicity epitopes.

In this study, the immunogenicity of a rabies vaccine that was used in one of the Isfahan cattle farms is reported. This vaccine was produced by replication of the Pasteur virus (PV) strain on BHK-21 monolayer cell culture. The virus suspension was inactivated by ß-propiolactone treatment and the harvested pool showed sterility and safety. Thus, the obtained vaccine was tested on mice and a sat...

In this work we compared, in the same immunization schedule in mice, two vaccine candidates against Dengue-4 based on the envelope protein domain III and the carrier P64k. Their molecular and antigenic features, immunogenicity and protective capacity in the viral encephalitis murine model are assessed. Our study endorses the strategy of using both sites of inclusion within the same P64k molecul...

Mucosal surfaces are the first site of infection for most infectious diseases and oral vaccination can provide protection as line defense. Unlike systemic administration, immunization stimulate cellular humoral immune responses at both mucosal levels to induce broad-spectrum long-lasting immunity. Therefore, design a successful vaccine, it is essential well responses. Successful vaccines need o...

With the advent of novel technologies, considerable advances have been made in the evaluation of the relationship between PK and PD. Ligand-binding assays have been the primary assay format supporting PK and immunogenicity assessments. Critical and in-depth characterizations of the ligand-binding assay of interest can provide valuable understanding of the limitations, for interpreting PK/PD and...

This paper investigated the porcine surfactant protein A (pSP-A) immunogenicity in murine model. Many elegant studies about SP-A therapeutic applications are available however specific studies about its exogenous immunogenicity were not easily assumed. Therefore, we investigated the immunogenicity of this porcine protein in mice. The mice received pSP-A subcutaneously on days 0 and 7. The anima...

Background and AimsSARS-CoV-2 vaccines-associated autoimmune liver diseases have been reported in several case reports. However, the safety immunogenicity after primary booster inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination patients with (AILD) is still unknown.

Background Th1/Tr1 promoting adjuvants, in allergen-specific vaccines, could be a valuable alternative to the current allergen immunotherapy. It is now the pro-Th1 adjuvant effect of Neisseria meningitidis proteoliposome (PL). Previous studies in a prophylactic murine model of respiratory allergy the vaccine showed its immunogenicity and safety. To assess the immunogenicity and non-clinical saf...

An attenuated Salmonella typhi Ty21a vaccine was administered to 18 infants and toddlers (less than or equal to 24 months old) to determine its safety and immunogenicity. The vaccination (10(9) CFU per dose, three doses) was well tolerated. However, after the vaccination there was no evidence of a humoral or cellular immune response to S. typhi. The vaccine used was known to be immunogenic for ...
