  • Publication number: 20150174236
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vaccine against a viral infection. The exemplary vaccine comprises a viral antigen of a vaccine strain of a virus; wherein the viral antigen is derived from a virus preparation of the vaccine strain of the virus; wherein the virus preparation of the vaccine strain of the virus contains a subpopulation of infectious viral particles, and the subpopulation of infectious viral particles is represented as a proportion over the total viral particles or total viral antigens of the virus preparation; and wherein the proportion of the subpopulation of infectious viral particles over the total viral particles or total viral antigens of the virus preparation is over a predefined threshold; so that the vaccine provides at least partial inter-subtypic or intra-subtypic cross immune response against different strains of the virus than the vaccine strain.

  • Patent number: 8178344
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for detecting antigens captured on an antibody array. The method comprises the following steps of providing the antibody array having at least two antibodies, contacting the antibody array with a sample containing at least one antigen that may be captured by the antibodies disposed on the antibody array, and detecting the at least one antigen captured by the antibody array with a detecting agent that specifically binds to the antigen-bound antibodies on the antibody array, thereby the at least one antigen captured by the antibody array can be detected independent of the structures of the antigens. In a preferred embodiment, C1q is used as the detecting agent to detect antigen-bound antibodies.
