Sensitive diagnostic test for the easy detection of the toxin causing bacterial vaginosis
- 技术优势
- -- Provides a more sensitive and easier to perform diagnostic test for bacterial vaginosis infection.-- Presents novel chimeric antibodies for the generation of new animal models of G. vaginalis colonization and bacterial vaginosis. -- Provides a novel polyclonal antibody for potential use in vaccination therapy to eliminate the problem of recurrent bacterial vaginosis infections currently seen using antibiotic treatmentsPatent information: ~ see link below ~ WO/2009/117373
- 技术应用
- -- Provides antibodies for the simple and sensitive detection of VLY, yielding a diagnostic tool for bacterial vaginosis infection.-- Polyclonal antibodies generated provide protection to VLY-infected cells, which can possibly lead to a vaccination therapy.-- The species non-specific chimera of VLY can be used to generate animal models of G. vaginalis infection-- Chimeric antibodies produced can be used to detect CD59-expressing cells, the human receptor recognized by VLY
