Enhancement of Antibodies to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Envelope by Using the Molecular Adjuvant C3d
(East Carolina University, 2003-02)
DNA vaccines expressing the envelope (Env) protein of the human immunodeficiency virus have been relatively ineffective at generating high-titer, long-lasting, neutralizing antibodies in a variety of animal models. In this ...
Generation and characterization of the humoral immune response to DNA immunization with a chimeric beta-amyloid-interleukin-4 minigene
(East Carolina University, 2003-12)
Active immunization with fibrillar beta-amyloid peptide (AB42) as well as passive transfer of anti-AB antibodies significantly reduces AB plaque deposition, neuritic dystrophy, and astrogliosis in the brain of mutant amyloid ...
Production of the Siderophore 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Is Required for Wild-Type Growth of Brucella abortus in the Presence of Erythritol under Low-Iron Conditions In Vitro
(East Carolina University, 2003-05)
Production of the siderophore 2,3-dihyroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) is required for the wild-type virulence of Brucella abortus in cattle. A possible explanation for this requirement was uncovered when it was determined that ...
Genetic Organization and Iron-Responsive Regulation of the Brucella abortus 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Biosynthesis Operon, a Cluster of Genes Required for Wild-Type Virulence in Pregnant Cattle
(East Carolina University, 2003-04)
Brucella abortus reportedly produces the monocatechol siderophore 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) in response to iron limitation. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cloned DHBA biosynthesis locus from virulent B. ...
