immunogenicity and protective capacity of melioidosis subunit vaccines. During the course of the projects, the student will be trained in various techniques in areas related to microbiology, ...

Use the growth medium to grow new copies of the Clostridium tetani bacteria. With a toxoid vaccine, the goal is to condition the immune system to combat not an invading virus or bacteria but ...

You'll need many copies of the vector/gene loop for your genetic vaccine. These copies can be produced with the help of bacteria. Vectors are capable of self-replicating when within a bacterial ...

Neomycin is an antibiotic that interferes with bacterial protein synthesis by binding primarily to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes. Many vaccines contain trace amounts of neomycin to ...

However, three other approaches are also now used to create vaccines for viral diseases. These are subunit (also used for bacterial vaccines), viral vector and nucleic acid. Recombinant subunit ...

In preclinical studies using mice with advanced colorectal cancer and melanoma (skin cancer), the bacterial vaccine was able to boost the immune system enough to suppress tumor growth, and in many ...

Antibiotic alternatives are needed for controlling diseases that cause high mortality. A vaccine discovery for Clostridial dermatitis in turkeys could lead to developing improved prophylactic ...

In our opinion, the five most important issues facing RSV F protein subunit-based vaccines in the next 5–10 years are the following: Determining whether RSV F protein subunit vaccines will be ...

and repeated antigen patterns prompt an improved immune response compared with that initiated by split or recombinant subunit vaccines. But because they do not contain the core genetic material ...

Rifaximin is a semi-synthetic derivative of rifampin and acts by binding to the beta-subunit of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase blocking one of the steps in transcription. This results in ...
