New Neisseria gonorrhoeae Vaccine Antigens Expressed During Natural Mucosal Infection
SUMMARY Researchers at Tufts University discovered novel antigens for a gonococcal vaccine through a unique candidate antigen selection strategy. In vivo, these previously unconsidered protein antigens induce a strong cross-reactive antibody response against diverse Gonorrhea strains PROBLEM Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a sexually transmitted infection,...

Highly Stereoselective Glycosylation Reactions
Researchers at Tufts University have developed a new method to generate 1,2-cis-a-glycosides without the need for specialized directing groups. The new synthetic approach uses thioglycoside donors, which are shelf-stable and easily adapted to one-pot oligosaccharide synthesis. This is a critical technological development for the iterative synthesis...

Spore Vaccine for Rotavirus
Heat-stable, injection-free vaccine platformThe invention is a novel vaccine platform utilizing the non-pathogenic bacterium Bacillus subtilis as the antigen-producer. A desired antigen can be engineered to be under the control of a pro-vegetative state or a pro-sporulation promoter. Cells are induced to express the desired antigen on the cell surface...

Novel Cholera Vaccine Consisting of Outer Membrane Vesicles
Cholera remains a persistent threat in the developing world, where clean drinking water is scarce. Due to lack of access to adequate medical facilities and the epidemic nature of the disease, a cholera vaccine is the most viable option for dealing with the disease in endemic areas. However, current vaccine formulations are ineffective as they are too...
