conjugation,the cellular immune response was practicallyabolished, since these compounds were not capableto induce an effective immune response when administeredalone, which implies the necessity of conjugationto elicit an immunological reaction, whichwas significantly effective for the antigen-adjuvantcomplex....

molecular size, chemical composition, heterogenicity, and capacity to be processed and displayed on the surface of antigen presentation cells are the four qualities that characterise an antigen’s immunogenicity \(\left( {{\rm{APCs}}} \right)\). ...
Operating Characteristics of Prostate-Specific Antigen in Men With an Initial PSA Level of 3.0 ng/mL or Lower : Thompson IM, Ankerst DP, Chi C, et al (Univ of Texas, San Antonio; Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Ctr, Seattle; Univ of Colorado, Denver; et al) JAMA 294:66鈥 70, 2005 ...
Our phylogenetic analyses suggested that XBB emerged through the recombination of two cocirculating BA.2 lineages, BJ.1 and BM.1.1.1 (a progeny of BA.2.75), during the summer of 2022. XBB.1 is the variant most profoundly resistant to BA.2/5 breakthrough infection sera to date and is ...
The co-infection resulted in severe clinical manifestation which was associated with the dysregulation of immune responses including deranged T-cell counts, antigen-specific T-cell responses and plasma cytokines. The emergence of genome variations of extensively drug-resistant A. baumannii associated with...
1. Recombinant vector comprising a nucleic acid fragment corresponding to region 5 and, if appropriate, to all or part of the pre-S region of the major surface antigen of the virus of hepatitis B, and which permits, when it is introduced into a suitable eucaryotic cell host, and upon cult...
The phosphor-antigens of MTB could induce the expansion and expression of functional cytokines of Vγ2Vδ2 T cells [23–26]. Some active pulmonary tubercu- losis patients exhibit an decreased ability of Vγ2Vδ2+ T cells to generate IFN-γ in response to phosphor-antigens [27, 28]....
Recombination, amino acid sequence, glycosylation analysis and antigen prediction Potential recombination events were identified using Recombination Detection Program version 4 (RDP4) and BootScan and then examined using SimPlot software version 3.5.1. Amino acid sequences of viral proteins were aligned wit...
Genes involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) are named ADME genes. However, the comprehensive role of ADME genes in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) remains unclear. Using the clinical and gene expression data
