Immunostimulatory DNA as an Adjuvant in Vaccination against Leishmania major

Stacey, Katryn J., Blackwell, Jenefer M.

Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) which contain immunostimulatory CG motifs (CpG ODN) can promote T helper 1 (Th1) responses, an adjuvant activity that is desirable for vaccination against leishmaniasis....

Mycobacterial Purified Protein Derivatives Stimulate Innate Immunity: Malawians Show Enhanced Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha, Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-10 Responses Compared to Those of Adolescents in the United Kingdom

Weir, Rosemary E., Black, Gillian F., Dockrell, Hazel M., Floyd, Sian, Fine, Paul E. M., Chaguluka, Steven D., ...

To investigate the role of innate immunity in variable efficacy of Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination in Malawi and the United Kingdom, we examined 24-h tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1β...

DNA-Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Primer-Booster Vaccination Biases towards T Helper 1 Responses and Enhances Protection against Leishmania major Infection in Mice

Lange, Uta G., Mastroeni, Pietro, Blackwell, Jenefer M., Stober, Carmel B.

Successful resolution of infections by intracellular pathogens requires gamma interferon (IFN-γ). DNA vaccines promote T helper 1 (Th1) responses by triggering interleukin-12 (IL-12) release by...

Solute carrier 11a1 (Slc11a1; formerly Nramp1) regulates metabolism and release of iron acquired by phagocytic, but not transferrin-receptor-mediated, iron uptake.

Mulero, Victoriano, Searle, Susan, Blackwell, Jenefer M, Brock, Jeremy H

Solute carrier 11a1 (Slc11a1; formerly Nramp1; where Nramp stands for natural-resistance-associated macrophage protein) is a proton/bivalent cation antiporter that localizes to late...

Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-10 Collude in Vaccine Failure for Novel Exacerbatory Antigens in Murine Leishmania major Infection

Roberts, Mark T. M., Stober, Carmel B., McKenzie, Andrew N, Blackwell, Jenefer M.

Leishmaniasis affects 12 million people but there are no vaccines in routine use. Recently, we used DNA vaccination in a susceptible BALB/c high-dose model of infection to screen 100 novel Leishmania...

From genomes to vaccines: Leishmania as a model.

Almeida, Renata, Norrish, Alan, Levick, Mark, Vetrie, David, Freeman, Tom, Vilo, Jaak, ...

The 35 Mb genome of Leishmania should be sequenced by late 2002. It contains approximately 8500 genes that will probably translate into more than 10 000 proteins. In the laboratory we have been...
