摘要:
The present invention is directed to a dengue virus chimeric polyepitope composed of fragments of non-structural proteins and its use in an immunogenic composition against dengue virus infection. The present invention provides means, in particular polynucleotides, vectors, cells and methods to produce vectors expressing said chimeric polyepitopes, in particular vectors consisting of recombinant measles virus (MV) particles. The present invention also relates to the use of the recombinant MV particles, in particular under the form of a composition or of a vaccine, for the prevention and/or treatment of a dengue virus infection.

The invention relates to the field of combating leishmaniases. Said invention results from the isolation, from wild isolates of Leishmania major, of a protein-coding gene known as LmPDI which has two regions that are identical to the sequence (Cys-Gly-His-Cys) of the potential active site of the protein disulphide isomerase (PDI). The LmPDI protein is predominantly expressed in the most virulent isolates of the parasite. Said protein forms a novel therapeutic target for developing anti-leishmaniasis medicaments and a novel element that can be used in the composition of immunogenic, and possibly vaccinating, preparations which are intended to protect a human or animal host against Leishmania.

The invention relates to cloning of the gene for the toxoplasma GP28.5 anen. It also encompasses purified GP28.5 antigen preparations and antigenic polypeptides derived from said antigen, and their applications.
摘要:
The invention concerns a new protein of approximately 17 KD, with angiogenic activity, a process for isolating it from mammalian milk, therapeutic compositions containing it, a process for detecting and/or determining the content of mammalian angiogenins, their homologues and their fragments. Said protein, of bovine origin, has a sequence of 125 aminoacids, 81 of which are common to human angiogenin, and a molecular weight of approximately 17 KD, and is extracted from mammalian milk. Application to the detection of mammalian angiogenin.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel form of core+1 protein of Hepatitis C virus (HCV), designated shorter form core+1 protein. The shorter form core+1 protein of Hepatitis C virus is the product of translation of a coding sequence consisting of all or part of a nucleotide sequence extending from nucleotide 598 to nucleotide 920 within the core+1 ORF of HCV represented on FIG. 3B. The invention also provides methods for detecting infection by Hepatitis C virus in biological samples, methods of screening compounds which interact with viral propagation in HCV infected cells or screening of compounds impaction on the expression of shorter form core+1 protein and uses of these compounds for the preparation of compositions useful for their anti-viral activities.

An antigenic composition against S. mansoni comprising an 8 kD peptidic fragment associated with a suitable vehicle, the 8 kD peptidic fragment being obtained by controlled proteolysis using V8 protease of a 28 kD protein obtained from S. mansoni is described.
摘要:
The immunogenic peptide sequence from Echinococcus granulosus antigen 5 is recognized both by sera from patients suffering from hydatidosis and by a monoclonal antibody of isotype IgG1 produced by hybridoma EG 02154/12 and registered with the C.N.C.M. on Jun. 25, 1990 under number 1-957.
摘要:
K13-propeller polymorphism is a useful molecular marker for tracking the emergence and spread of ART-resistant P. falciparum. The invention encompasses methods, compositions, and kits for detecting and genotyping Plasmodium, for example, Plasmodium falciparum. The methods, compositions, and kits can be used to detect the presence or absence of a mutated K-13 propeller nucleic acid or protein in the sample.
