EFFECT OF COMPLEMENT FACTOR H ON ANTIBODY REPERTOIRE AND PROTECTION ELICITED BY MENINGOCOCCAL CAPSULAR GROUP B VACCINES CONTAINING FACTOR H BINDING PROTEIN

Bacteria produce surface ligands for host complement regulators Adjustable Electric Beds including Factor H (FH), which allows the bacteria to evade immunity.Meningococcal Factor H binding protein (FHbp) is both a virulence factor and a vaccine antigen.Antibodies to FHbp can neutralize its function by inhibiting binding of FH to the bacteria and co

This study is presented as a contribution to earthquake disaster mitigation studies for selected cities in Turkey.The risk evaluations must be based on earthquake hazard analysis and city information.To estimate the ground motion level, data for earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 4.5 and an epicenter location within a 100-km radius of each c

Intranuclear crystalline inclusions have been observed in the nucleus of epithelial cells infected with Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) at late steps of the virus life cycle.Using immuno-electron microscopy and confocal microscopy of cells infected with various Ad5 recombinants modified in their penton base or fiber domains, we found that these inclusi
