Ewa Tokarska -Pietrzak, Dr. Danuta Kunikowska 2017-05-23 3 PREVIOUS RESEARCH Immunochemistry research: - Salmonella bacteria antigens - Lipopolysaccharides - Flagella - Vi antigen - Yersinia pestis envelope antigen 2017-05-23 4 Immunochemistry Research Lipolysaccharide of Salmonella Haarlem (9.46) – detection the new OPS composition: 3,9,46 (according to Kauffmann-White scheme). Epitope analysis of S. Enteritidis isolated flagella antigen and synthetic peptides of hypervariable part of this antigen. 2017-05-23 5 Immunological investigations of viruses synthetic peptides. Hepatitis B Virus: - X-Gene coded protein fragments; - surface antigen (140-146) region fragment. Hepatitis C Virus: - protein fragments (evaluation of their immunogenicity and diagnostic propertis in HCV infection) 2017-05-23 6 Immunological investigations of heat shock protein fragments. Human hsp 70 fragment (29-42), and their cyclic analogue – conformational studies and evaluation of its immunogenicity. Human hsp 60 fragment (409-424) – is recognized by serum antibodies of patients with acute coronary syndroms. 2017-05-23 7 Immunological investigations of heat shock protein. Characterisation of the anti-DnaJ monoclonal antibodies and their use to compare immunological properties of DnaJ and its human homologue HDJ-1 – epitope analysis of the similar domains of E. coli DnaJ and human HDJ-1 (in cooperation with Prof. B. Lipińska team, UG). 2017-05-23 8 CURRENT RESEARCH National Salmonella Centre - diagnostics of Salmonella strains isolated by field laboratories - molecular research of Salmonella strains - epidemiological research within WHO „Salmonella Surveillance” project 2017-05-23 9 Salmonella infections among people in the years 1971-2000 100000 Number of cases 90000 80000 70000 Salmonella S.Enterit. other Salm. 60000 50000 40000 30000 20000 10000 0 2017-05-23 YearYear 10 CULTURE COLLECTIONS • Salmonella strains ( KOS Collection - about 2000 strains) • Bacteriophage preparations • Mouse myeloma cell lines • Mouse macrophages cell line • Mouse hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies anti Salmonella antigens and anti DnaJ from E.coli. 2017-05-23 11 POLYVALENT VACCINE „IMMUNOVAC” AGAINST SALMONELLOSIS IN ANIMALS „Immunovac” vaccine is composed of several Salmonella serovars and polyclonal antibodies Generates active and passive immunization after oral administration. The vaccine is in the course of commercialization by BIOWET in Puławy. 2017-05-23 12 IMMUNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF PORPHYRIN DERIVATIVES Porphyrines and their amino acids derivatives • PP(FAla)2Arg2 • PP(Ala)2Arg2 • PP(Ser)2Arg2 and their mixture (Sensifirine) are intended to be used in PDT (photodynamic therapy). Our goal is to investigate their impact on the immune system. The researches are performed in cooperation with the teams of prof. Alfreda Graczyk (MUT, Warsaw) and prof. Anna Podhajska ( MBW AMGUG, Gdańsk) 2017-05-23 13 ANTIBODIES & ANTIGENS Y Y HOW DO THEY WORK ? MOLECULES 2017-05-23 MEDICINE 14 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION 2017-05-23 15
