Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are transmembrane proteins belonging to the family of pattern-
recognition receptors. They function as sensors of invading pathogens through recognition …

Vaccination has saved billions of human lives and has considerably reduced the economic
burden associated with pandemic and endemic infectious diseases. Notwithstanding major …

Since the identification of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) as the etiologic
agent of AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), many efforts have been made to …

The pharmaceutical use of bacteriophages as safe and inexpensive therapeutic tools is
collecting renewed interest. The use of lytic phages to fight antibiotic-resistant bacterial …

Bacteriophages have attracted great attention in the bioengineering field in diverse research
areas from tissue engineering to therapeutic and clinical applications. Recombinant …

2‐Oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH) is the first and rate‐limiting component of the
multienzyme OGDH complex (OGDHC) whose malfunction is associated with …

Vaccines represent the most relevant contribution of immunology to human health. However,
despite the remarkable success achieved in the past years, many vaccines are still missing …

In this review, we discuss possible models of bacteriophage–virus interactions. The first is
based on the mechanism by which phages may interact indirectly with viruses. Its essence is …

We have exploited the properties of filamentous bacteriophage fd to deliver immunologically
active lipids together with antigenic peptides. Filamentous bacteriophages resemble for size …

Phage display is based on genetic engineering of phage coat proteins resulting in fusion
peptides displayed on the surface of phage particles. The technology is widely used for …
