Noninvasive mucosal vaccines are attractive alternatives to parenteral vaccines. Although the conjugation of vaccine antigens with the B subunit of cholera toxin (CTB) is one of the most promising… (More)
A 48-year-old female presented with vertiginous feeling and behavior disturbance. Computed tomography showed an arachnoid cyst on the left cerebral convexity. Single photon emission computed… (More)
The nontoxic cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) was evaluated as a potential delivery molecule for the Plasmodium vivax ookinete surface protein, Pvs25. Recombinant Pvs25 was expressed as a secreted… (More)
Methylotrophic yeast (Pichia pastoris) secreted cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) predominantly as a biologically active pentamer (PpCTB) with identical ganglioside binding affinity profiles to that of… (More)
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are used in various fields, including in food and medical supplies. There has been a great deal of research into vaccine development using LAB as carriers due to their… (More)
Two cases of direct carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) were treated by transarterial platinum coil embolization (TACE) following unsuccessful transarterial balloon embolization (TABE). Case 1 was a… (More)
To create a physicochemically stable cholera toxin (CT) B subunit (CTB), it was fused to the five-stranded α-helical coiled-coil domain of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP). The chimeric… (More)
SUMMARY
Since May 1992, we have performed percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or stenting 70 times for 65 lesions in 62 patients with atherosclerotic stenosis of the intracranial or skull… (More)
Although the BCG vaccine can prevent tuberculosis (TB) in infants, its ability to prevent adult pulmonary TB is reportedly limited. Therefore, development of a novel effective vaccine against… (More)
Ectodomain of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) E protein [domains I through III (D1-3), domains I and II (D1-2) and domain III (D3)] and the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) were expressed in… (More)
