Cell‐mediated immunity plays a key role in containing the growth of Mycobacterium
tuberculosis in the host. The induction of an antibody response or a mixed cell‐mediated and …

Shigella, the causative agent of shigellosis, is among the main causes of diarrheal diseases
with still a high morbidity in low-income countries. Relying on chemical synthesis, we …

Conjugation chemistry is among the most important parameters governing the efficacy of
glycoconjugate vaccines. High robustness is required to ensure high yields and batch to batch …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of type-II secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-IIA)
in alveolar space and its possible role in the destruction of surfactant in three rat …

We previously showed that the seminatural surfactant Curosurf inhibits the in vitro synthesis
of secretory type IIA phospholipase A 2 (sPLA 2 -IIA) in alveolar macrophages (AM). These …

Asthma may result from excessive Th-2 response in children not previously exposed to Th-1-inducing
infections. We tested the hypothesis that BCG vaccination in Th-2-susceptible …

Synthetic functional mimics of the O-antigen from Shigella flexneri 2a are seen as promising
vaccine components against endemic shigellosis. Herein, the influence of the …

Shigella flexneri 3a causes bacillary dysentery. Its O‐antigen has the {2)‐[α‐d‐Glcp‐(1→3)]‐α‐l‐Rhap‐(1→2)‐α‐l‐Rhap‐(1→3)‐[Ac→2]‐α‐l‐Rhap‐(1→3)‐[Ac→6]
