  • Publication number: 20150202280
    Abstract: An immunogenic Chlamydia HtrA protein, which has one or more mutations relative to wild-type Chlamydia HtrA that result in a reduced or eliminated protease activity relative to the protease activity of wild-type Chlamydia HtrA. Preferably, it is the serine protease activity that is reduced or eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20140099719
    Abstract: Mosaic VLPs of viral capsid proteins from different virus types are described, as are methods of making the same. Specifically, a diploid yeast strain that coexpresses the L1 and L2 capsid proteins of both HPV-6 and HPV-16 as mosaic VLPs is described. The mosaic VLPs induced the production of conformational antibodies against both L1 proteins upon administration to mice.

  • Publication number: 20110110857
    Abstract: An immunogenic Chlamydia HtrA protein, which has one or more mutations relative to wild-type Chlamydia HtrA that result in a reduced or eliminated protease activity relative to the protease activity of wild-type Chlamydia HtrA. In some embodiments the serine protease activity is reduced or eliminated.

  • Patent number: 4954433
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for the immunolocalization of epitopes of non-glucidic nature, in cellular cultures, in tissue slices, or immobilized on such supports as nitrocellulose, by means of the incubation of the sample with specific antibodies for the antigen to be immunolocalized, belonging to the class of the IgM's, and sequential treatment of concanavalin A and with an enzymatic marker capable of binding with concanavalin A, such as, e.g., peroxidase. The method comprises, before the incubation, a suitable treatment of the sample under test, e.g., with periodic acid, in order to prevent concanavalin A from binding with the carbohydrates present in the sample.
