Abstract

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan that has a major importance in public health, in addition to veterinary medicine. Therefore, the development of an effective vaccine for controlling toxoplasmosis is an important goal. Excretory/secretory antigens (ESA), were previously identified as potential vaccine candidates, proved to play important roles in the pathogenesis and immune escape of the parasite. In addition, autoclaved Toxoplasma vaccine (ATV) is a special type of killed vaccine, recently characterized. The aim of the present work was, to compare between excretory/secretory and ATV against RH strain of T. gondii in mice based on; parasitological and histopathological levels. Tachyzoites were harvested from peritoneal exudates of infected mice and were used for challenge infection and vaccine preparation. BCG was used as an adjuvant. Mice were allocated equally into five groups; they were vaccinated intradermally over the sternum. The results of this study showed that the survival time after challenge, extended up to 16 days in ESA vaccinated group and up to 15 days in autoclaved Toxoplasma vaccinated group. ESA vaccinated group exhibited a profound decrease in parasite load following parasite challenge ...Continue Reading

Avian Influenza: Innate Immune Adjuvant (ASM)

Adjuvants systems that are added to vaccines against avian influenza have be explored to enhance the innate immune system response against the virus. Here is the latest research on avian influenza and the innate immune adjuvant.
