“We searched pathogenic bacteria for a self-assembled protein nanoarchitecture that could serve as a new antigen-delivery vehicle,” says Sangyong Jon of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science ...

Translational Psychiatry - Bacterial ClpB heat-shock protein, an antigen-mimetic of the anorexigenic peptide α-MSH, at the origin of eating disorders Skip to main content Thank you for visiting ...

Bacteria have evolved antibody-binding proteins, such as staphylococcal protein A and streptococcal protein G, to evade host immunity. A study now identifies a new antibody-binding protein in ...

A Structurally Distinct Human Mycoplasma Protein that Generically Blocks Antigen-Antibody Union. Science , 2014; 343 (6171): 656 DOI: 10.1126/science.1246135 Cite This Page : ...

New research from the University of Cincinnati demonstrates how specially engineered bacteria taken orally can operate as a delivery system for antiviral therapies and vaccines. The research, led ...

Thousands of bacterial and other microbial species live in the human gut, supporting healthy digestion, immunity, metabolism and other functions. Precisely how these microbes are protected from immune ...

The antigen proteins it produces during this period stay around only slightly ... A single dose may include several variants of the same virus or of different viruses and even bacterial antigens.

Most engineered bacteria keep their therapeutic cargo inside the cell, but vaccines work best when antigens are presented to the immune system. The UC team therefore displayed viral proteins on the ...

Antigen vs antibody: the basics. An antigen is any substance that prompts your body to trigger an immune response against it. Antigens include allergens, bacteria and viruses. Antibodies are Y-shaped ...
