The need to simultaneously target infections with epidemiological overlap in the population with a single vaccine provides the basis for developing combination vaccines. Vibrio cholerae ghosts (rVCG) offer an attractive approach for developing vaccines against a number of human and animal pathogens. In this study, we constructed a multisubunit vaccine candidate co-expressing the serovar D-derived...
We tested the hypothesis that intramuscular immunization with a multisubunit chlamydial vaccine candidate will induce long lasting immune responses in mice. Accordingly, groups of female C57BL/6 mice were immunized intramuscularly with Vibrio cholerae ghosts (VCG) expressing the Poring B and polymorphic membrane protein-D proteins of Chlamydia trachomatis or a control antigen. Humoral and cell-mediated...
The dimeric form of the recombinant peptide (E2), comprising amino acid 394–606 of the capsid protein of hepatitis E virus (HEV), is strongly recognized by HEV reactive human serum, and when used as a vaccine, it protects rhesus monkeys against experimental HEV infection. In this work, the relationship of E2 to HEV has been probed using three murine monoclonal antibodies, 8C11, 13D8 and 8H3, all of...
It was evaluated its antigenicity, immunogenicity and efficacy of a candidate recombinant hepatitis E virus (HEV) vaccine, referred hitherto as HEV 239 vaccine. The vaccine peptide has a 26 amino acids extension from the N terminal of another peptide, E2, of the HEV capsid protein, which has been shown to protect monkeys against HEV infection previously. The vaccine peptide is similar as E2 in that:...
235 healthy 10-12 years old school children were randomly immunized with either a booster dose of diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (dTap) or diphtheria-tetanus (dT) vaccine. For this booster immunization designed for school children and adults, the quantities of Bordetella pertussis antigens in the dTap vaccine had been reduced to one third of those of the Infanrix(R) vaccine (SmithKline Beecham)...
