1. Obtenção e caracterização de frações purificadas de saponinas de chenopodium quinoa e avaliação da formação de complexos do tipo iscom : atividades biológicas das frações e dos complexos formados
Chenopodium quinoa (quinoa) seeds are a rich protein source and well-known for their high saponin content. Chemically, quinoa saponins are triterpene glycosides being phytolaccagenic, hederagenin, oleanolic and serjanic acids the most common aglycones found in seeds. Its immunoadjuvant properties have been examined and the results obtained were conflicting.

2. Vacinação de suínos com antígenos de Toxoplasma gondii incorporados a complexos imunoestimulantes (iscoms)
A imunidade ao Toxoplasma gondii foi estudada em suínos, após a vacinação com antígenos de T. gondii incorporados a complexos imunoestimulantes (iscoms). Nove animais (grupo 1-G1) foram inoculados, via subcutânea, com três doses de iscoms (amostra LIV-5) em intervalos de 21 e 13 dias. Para comparar os resultados obtidos, outros três grupos com nove s

3. Priming with Chlamydia trachomatis Major Outer Membrane Protein (MOMP) DNA followed by MOMP ISCOM Boosting Enhances Protection and Is Associated with Increased Immunoglobulin A and Th1 Cellular Immune Responses
We previously reported that DNA vaccination was able to elicit cellular immune responses and partial protection against Chlamydia trachomatis infection. However, DNA immunization alone did not generate immune responses or protection as great as that induced by using live organisms. In this study, we evaluated the immunologic effects of a combinational vaccin

4. Immunity against Yersinia enterocolitica by vaccination with Yersinia HSP60 immunostimulating complexes or Yersinia HSP60 plus interleukin-12.
Microbial heat shock proteins (HSP) are dominant antigens for the host immune response. Because of the high sequence homology between mammalian and microbial HSP, their value as component of a subunit vaccine has been the subject of controversy. Previous work from this laboratory, however, demonstrated for the first time that the adoptive transfer of HSP60-r

5. Comparison of Immunity Generated by Nucleic Acid-, MF59-, and ISCOM-Formulated Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Vaccines in Rhesus Macaques: Evidence for Viral Clearance
The kinetics of T-helper immune responses generated in 16 mature outbred rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) within a 10-month period by three different human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccine strategies were compared. Immune responses to monomeric recombinant gp120SF2 (rgp120) when the protein was expressed in vivo by DNA immunization or when it was

6. Chimeric Plant Virus Particles Administered Nasally or Orally Induce Systemic and Mucosal Immune Responses in Mice
The humoral immune responses to the D2 peptide of fibronectin-binding protein B (FnBP) of Staphylococcus aureus, expressed on the plant virus cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), were evaluated after mucosal delivery to mice. Intranasal immunization of these chimeric virus particles (CVPs), either alone or in the presence of ISCOM matrix, primed CPMV-specific T cells

7. Incorporation of the major outer membrane protein of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in saponin-lipid complexes (iscoms): chemical analysis, some structural features, and comparison of their immunogenicity with three other antigen delivery systems.
We incorporated the major outer membrane protein (PI) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae into immunostimulating complexes (iscoms) and examined some analytical, physicochemical, and immunological properties of these structures. The immunogenicity was compared with that of three other PI-containing structures, i.e., liposomes, outer membrane complexes produced by the b

8. Protection against lethal measles virus infection in mice by immune-stimulating complexes containing the hemagglutinin or fusion protein.
The importance of each of the two surface glycoproteins of measles virus in active and passive immunization was examined in mice. Infected-cell lysates were depleted of either the hemagglutinin (H) or fusion (F) glycoprotein by using multiple cycles of immunoaffinity chromatography. The products were used to prepare immune-stimulating complexes (iscoms) cont

9. In Vitro Cutaneous Application of ISCOMs on Human Skin Enhances Delivery of Hydrophobic Model Compounds Through the Stratum Corneum
This study aimed to investigate the effect of a novel kind of immune-stimulating complexes (ISCOMs) on human skin penetration of model compounds in vitro to evaluate their potential as a delivery system, ultimately for transcutaneous vaccination. Special focus was on elucidating the mechanisms of penetration. Preparation of ISCOMs was done by dialysis and su

10. Generating neutralizing antibodies, Th1 response and MHC non restricted immunogenicity of HIV-I env and gag peptides in liposomes and ISCOMs with in-built adjuvanticity
For enhancing immunogenicity and develop vaccine strategies using peptide based constructs against HIV-1, a chimeric peptide containing V3 loop and transmembrane sequence of gp41 with two glycine motifs as spacer was constructed. The V3-gp41, gp41 peptide and p17 and p24 peptides separately or in a cocktail were entrapped with or without MA729 as an immunoad
