2. 1. Passive immunization against oral pathogens

   Author : Carina Krüger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Dental caries is one of the most common infectious diseases and Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is considered to be the main etiological agent of dental caries. S. mutans possesses a variety of virulence factors that enables it to establish and initiate disease. READ MORE

5. 3. Co-stimulation in gut mucosal immunity. Evidence of a differential regulationof local and systemic responses

   Author : Eva Gärdby; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mucosal immunity; PP; cholera toxin; oral immunization; co-stimulation; Th1 Th2;

   Abstract : In recent years we have learned that co-stimulatory factors are required as second signals for optimal T cell stimulation. Most types of immune responses are, therefore, dependent on the co-stimulatory signals that are provided by infection or immunization. READ MORE

6. 4. Vaccination against cholera and ETEC diarrhea and interventions to improve vaccine immune responses

   Author : Tanvir Ahmed; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Vibrio cholerae; ETEC; oral vaccine; CS6; CFA I; Lewis blood group; zinc; breast feeding; T cell; B cell;

   Abstract : Vaccination against cholera and ETEC diarrhea and interventions to improve vaccine immune responses Abstract Vibrio cholerae O1 and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) together account for the majority of bacterial causes of acute dehydrating diarrhea in children in Bangladesh. Vaccines should be considered as an important public health tool for prevention of these diarrheal diseases. READ MORE

7. 5. Genetic modification of cholera toxin B subunit for mucosal anti-infectious or anti-pathologic vaccination

   Author : Hamid Sadeghi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Genetic fusion protein; cholera toxin B subunit; insulin; GST; Oral tolerance;

   Abstract : The development of mucosal vaccines requires antigen delivery systems that can efficiently help to present vaccine antigens to the mucosal immune system. En efficient and well known antigen carrier/delivery system is the B subunit of cholera toxin (CTB). READ MORE
