Advances in Microbial and Nucleic Acids Biotechnology
Highlights
Three papers in this special issue discussed results in the immunotherapeutic field
Biotechnology in its broad meaning is the use of organisms or their products for various purposes such as fast diagnosis of infectious diseases, inhibition of the antibiotic resistant bacteria, production of pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and even energetic materials
The paper titled “Microcrystalline Cellulose for Delivery of Recombinant Protein-Based Antigen against Erysipelas in Mice” is very interesting as it developed microcrystalline cellulose for delivery of recombinant proteinbased antigen against erysipelas in mice. This recombinant surface protein (SPA) from the Gram positive pathogen Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was fused to cellulose binding domain from Trichoderma harzianum (CBD). This CBD-SPA fusion cassette was expressed in E. coli successfully
Summary
Three papers in this special issue discussed results in the immunotherapeutic field. The paper titled “MannoseBinding Lectin: A Potential Therapeutic Candidate against Candida Infection” showed the potential therapeutic capability of mannose binding lectin (MBL) against candidiasis as this recombinant MBL induced agglutination of both Candida albicans and C. glabrata. The call for submission of manuscripts allowed researchers in Biotechnology fields to submit their original and novel findings to this special issue.
