摘要:
The present invention relates to the development of a vaccine against schistosomiasis. It relates to a protein which includes the epitopes of the p28 protein, a poxvirus containing a gene coding for the said protein, a cell incorporating a vector for the expression of the said protein, a method for preparing the said protein, a DNA sequence coding for the p28 protein, a pharmaceutical composition, antibodies raised against the said protein and their application by way of diagnostic agents for schistosomiasis.The present invention also relates to the application of the said protein by way of an agent possessing glutathione S-transferase activity.

A hybridoma is provided which provides a monoclonal antibody of isotope IgG2a, which recognizes a strip corresponding to a peptidic fragment of 8kD, isolated by controlled proteolysis of the 28kD polypeptide of S. mansoni.
摘要:
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 present invention relates to an immunogenic fraction active against bilharzioses. This glycoprotein extracted from hemocyanin of a mollusc, is characterized in that its glucidic fraction represents 5 to 25% of the glycoprotein molecule and in that the molar composition of said glucidic fraction (calculated on the basis of 3 mannose residues) is substantially the following:______________________________________ Monosaccharidic residues ______________________________________ Mannose 3 Galactose 3 to 4 Fucose 2 to 3 Glucose 2 .+-. 0.2 Xylose 0.5-1 N-acetylglucosamine 3-4 N-acetylgalactosamine 2 .+-. 0.3 ______________________________________ Use: immunizing compositions against bilharzioses.
摘要:
The invention concerns the use of the FHA protein or part of the FHA protein, in free form, as adjuvant of the immune response or as immunostimulant in a human or an animal. The invention also concerns adjuvant and immunostimulatory compositions comprising FHA protein or a fragment thereof, and the use of said compositions for making vaccines.
摘要:
A recombinant DNA containing a sequence (1) coding for a polypeptide heterologous to a filamentous haemagglutinin of Bordetella (Fha) fused within the reading frame to a sequence (2) located upstream from the first sequence. Sequence (2) codes for at least part of the Fha precursor, which part comprises at least the N-terminal region of a truncated mature Fha protein, which contains the interaction site of Fha and heparin and the secretion domain. This Fha protein is under the control of a promoter recognized by the cell polymerases of B. pertussis and is inserted into a B. pertussis cell culture, is expressed in the culture and excreted into the cell culture medium. The invention uses both the abilities of Bordetella and particularly B. pertussis to secrete or surface expose the heterologous polypeptide fused to the Fha portion corresponding to sequence (2), which does not appear to produce extracellular proteases, and the ease with which filamentous haemagglutinins can be isolated from other Bordetella proteins.
摘要:
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:
New lymphokine and its isolation and purification process. Said lymphokine is comprised of a factor obtained from T cells stimulated by concanavaline A or by an antigen capable of inhibiting the IgE-dependent platelet citotoxicity with respect to young larvae of S. Mansoni, of strongly reducing the chemiluminescence of blood platelets in a reaction IgE-anti-IgE, which is a correlate of the anti-parasite cytotoxicity, and of inhibiting the platelet activation in non-IgE dependent intolerences. Application as suppressor agent for suppressing platelet activation and as immunomodulator medicament of allergies.
摘要:
A small peptide obtained from Schistosoma mansoni has a molecular weight between 500 and 1000. It is water soluble. It is heat-stable. It inhibits the mast cell degranulation in vitro and in vivo elicited by chemical compounds or anaphylactic reactions. It prevents passive or active cutaneous anaphylactic reactions.
