“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 ...

Bacteria are ubiquitous microscopic organisms capable of rapid growth. While beneficial strains like lactic acid bacteria ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

When protein antigens are injected into the small intestine of wild-type mice, ... At the same time, some immune cells activated by gut bacteria are known to suppress tumors in the gut.

Researchers at Columbia University have developed a probiotic-guided chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T platform that uses engineered bacteria to infiltrate and produce synthetic antigen targets ...

Upon conducting further analyses, the team found that treating dendritic cells with valeric acid led to an increase in the uptake of soluble proteins, insoluble beads, and Staphylococcus aureus ...
