New Cholera Vaccine and Method for Conjugating Bacterial Polysaccharides to Proteins
A new conjugate vaccine for cholera has been developed. The invention includes a new method to conjugate the O-specific polysaccharide-core part of the bacterial lipopolysaccharide and protein subcomponents. Conventional technology has entailed chemical treatment of both components to introduce linkers, which made them amenable for covalent linking....

High-Throughput Screening Platform for Identification of Insect Repellents
Executive Summary: High-throughput screening platform identifies repellent compounds that activate specific insect odor receptors. This platform can identify pyrethrins and pyrethroids to combine with odorant-mediated repellents to enhance overall repellant activity. Background: Mosquitoes transmit a number of dangerous diseases to humans (malaria,...
