Abstract:
The invention relates to a combination comprising(i) a compound A comprising a mitochondrial targeting group linked to a group capable of releasing hydrogen sulfide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a prodrug thereof, an inhibitor of the thioredoxin antioxidant system or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a prodrug thereof, and/or a nitroxide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a prodrug thereof; and (ii) a photosensitizer or photosensitizer precursor; for use in photodynamic therapy.
Abstract:
The invention provides a composition comprising a reduced toxicity NetB epitope polypeptide and a reduced toxicity Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin epitope polypeptide. The composition is useful as a vaccine providing complete protection against infection by C. perfringens.
Abstract:
A detector is described comprising a first graphene element (12), the first graphene element (12) comprising a few layer graphene element functionally doped with a dopant material and to which at least one electrode is connected.
Abstract:
A compound which is a compound of formula (I) or any salt thereof: wherein R1 is a Ci-C6 alkyl group, R2 is H or a Ci-C6 alkyl group, R3 is H or a Ci-C6 alkyl group, and n is an integer from 0 to 5.
Abstract:
There is provided an epsilon toxin epitope polypeptide comprising a sequence of at least 10 contiguous amino acids from SEQ ID NO:3, the sequence comprising a mutation of at least one tyrosine residue compared to the equivalent sequence in SEQ ID NO:3, the polypeptide being capable of binding an antibody which binds to SEQ ID NO:5 and having reduced toxicity compared with the toxicity of SEQ ID NO:5. The polypeptide is useful in a method of vaccinating a subject against developing a disease caused by Clostridium perfringens and/or caused by (or associated with the presence of) active epsilon toxin.
