  1. 1. Novel approaches to mucosal vaccine development Strategies in vaccine antigen production, construction of a novel mucosal adjuvant and studies of its mode of action

    Författare :Manuela Terrinoni; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vaccine development; plasmid maintenance; Gram-negative bacteria; ; essential genes; complementation; Cholera Toxin; adjuvanticity; NF-kB; mmCT; Gram-negative bacteria;

    Sammanfattning : Although most infections begin at a mucosal surface and may be prevented by effective vaccine stimulation of the local mucosal immune system, there are so far only a few mucosal vaccines available for human use. This thesis spans several areas that are important for future development of mucosal vaccines. LÄS MER

  3. 2. CTA1-DD; A novel vaccine adjuvant system based on ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and B cell targeting

    Författare :Lena Ågren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cholera toxin; ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; adjuvant; vaccine; B cells; targeting;

    Sammanfattning : The ADP-ribosylating enterotoxins, cholera toxin (CT) and E. coli heat-labile toxin (LT) are among the most powerful immunogens and adjuvants yet described. An innate problem, though, is their strong toxic effects, largely due to their promiscuous binding to all nucleated cells via their B-subunits. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Heat shock proteins as vaccine adjuvants

    Författare :Khaleda Rahman Qazi; Carmen Fernández; Qijun Chen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heat shock protein; vaccine; adjuvant; BCG; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : New efficient vaccines against infectious diseases are in demand. Some important factors impeding the vaccine development are the poor immunogenicity and the MHC restriction of the immune responses to a number of antigens. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Mechanistic studies of the adjuvant effects of CTA1-DD and the native cholera toxin: Impact of cell targeting and tissue localization

    Författare :Johan Mattsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vaccines; adjuvants; cholera toxin; germinal center; CTA1-DD; follicular dendritic cells; denritic cells; Th1; Th2; Th17; complement;

    Sammanfattning : Vaccines are the most effective means of preventing infectious diseases and improving global health. However, few vaccines have successfully been developed for protection at mucosal surfaces where most pathogens gain access. LÄS MER
