Fragments representing the genes of the two major outer membrane proteins of spotted fever group rickettsiae (rOmpA and rOmpB) were tested as DNA vaccines. Immunizations with each of three fragments (rompA4999-6710, rompB1550-2738, and rompB2459-4123) conferred a degree of protection on vaccinated
The lysozyme activity, alternative complement activity (ACH50), respiratory burst, SOD (superoxide dismutase) activity and phagocytic activity of orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coicoides were examined when the fish were injected intraperitoneally with sodium alginate at 10, 20, 30mgkg-1 and
To date, many immunoglobulin (Ig) genes have been identified in diverse teleost species, but the contributions of different types of light chain (IgL) to the immune response remain unclear. Screening of a stimulated kidney cDNA library from orange-spotted grouper (Osg, Epinephelus coioides) resulted
Glioblastomas are the most malignant and most frequent brain tumors and exciting targets of gene and immunotherapy. Despite rapid development of experimental therapy little is known about the cellular behaviour of therapeutic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs). Here we designed uptake, cellular
With the genome sequence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis determined, technologies are now being developed for construction of protein arrays to detect the presence of antibodies against M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis in host serum. The power of this approach is that it enables a
