78 |
15944297
|
HPV16 L1 VLP also activate production of proinflammatory factors IFN-alpha, IL-6, MIP-1alpha, RANTES, and KC, up-regulate the expression of costimulatory molecules by naive B cells, and increase the B1 B cell subpopulation.
|
79 |
15944297

Noninfectious papilloma virus-like particles inhibit HIV-1 replication: implications for immune control of HIV-1 infection by IL-27.
|
93 |
17068156

Recent studies demonstrate that VLPs bind to dendritic cells and induce the expression of antiviral cytokines such as interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IFN-gamma.
|
94 |
17068156

To accomplish this we generated chimeric simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) VLPs containing either glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or CD40 ligand (CD40L) and investigated their biological activity and ability to enhance immune responses in vivo.

17108046
|
Immunization of mice with chimeric SIV VLPs containing GM-CSF induced SIV Env-specific antibodies as well as neutralizing activity at significantly higher levels than those induced by standard SIV VLPs, SIV VLPs containing CD40L, or standard VLPs mixed with soluble GM-CSF.
|
116 |
17108046
|
In addition, mice immunized with chimeric SIV VLPs containing either GM-CSF or CD40L showed significantly increased CD4(+)- and CD8(+)-T-cell responses to SIV Env, compared to standard SIV VLPs.
|
117 |
17108046
|
We propose that anchoring immunostimulatory molecules into SIV VLPs can be a promising approach to augmenting the efficacy of VLP antigens.

Immunization with DCs showed that compared to VLP-pulsed DCs, VLP packaging CpG-pulsed DCs elicit stronger T-cell responses in vivo, as measured by both intracellular production of IFN-gamma and in vivo killing assays by Ag-specific T cells.
|
120 |
17656012
|
The mice immunized with DCs treated with HBc-VLP, however, trigger an antitumor effect at the early phase of vaccination, after 20 days of tumor injection, the tumor growth inhibition of VLP-pulsed DCs vaccination was decreased gradually and the fact could be interpreted by the decreasing number of antigen-specific CD8(+) T-cell and IFN-gamma(+)-producing CD8(+) T cell.

|
261 |
21858228

PSA-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells were demonstrated, but no PSA-specific IgG antibodies.
|
262 |

In this study, we have evaluated the use of an anionic self-adjuvanting lipopeptide containing the TLR2 agonist Pam(2)Cys (E(8)Pam(2)Cys) to enhance the immunogenicity of VLPs containing the HCV structural proteins (core, E1 and E2) of genotype 1a.
|
285 |
23091628
|
Dramatically improved VLP and E2-specific antibody responses were observed in VLP+E(8)Pam(2)Cys vaccinated mice where up to 3 doses of non-adjuvanted or traditionally alum-adjuvanted VLPs was required to match the antibody titres obtained with a single dose of VLPs formulated with this lipopeptide.

CD16-RIgE is a chimeric human membrane glycoprotein consisting of the CD16 ectodomain fused to the transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail of the gamma chain of the high affinity receptor of IgE (RIgE).
|
298 |
23617954
|
Taking advantage of this property, we replaced the CD16 ectodomain of CD16-RIgE by the envelope glycoprotein domain III (DIII) of dengue virus serotype 1 (DENV1) or West Nile virus Kunjin (WNVKun).
|
299 |
