The meeting will be held at The BioPark,
The chair will be : Dr Alasdair Nisbet, Moredun Research Institute,
The agenda includes:
Methods for delivery of GM vaccines to stimulate appropriate, protective responses
Dr David JM Lewis,
Can Mucosal Vaccines make Needles a Thing of the Past? - Dr. Valerie Ferro,
We have developed a delivery system composed of non-ionic surfactant vesicles and bile salts (bilosomes), which protect entrapped antigen against degradation in the gastrointestinal tract. This delivery system removes the need for live or attenuated vaccines and is ideal for oral delivery of synthetic peptides and recombinant proteins. An IgA response is induced locally, while systemically the immune response can be directed towards a Th1 or Th2 bias by altering the size of the vesicles, irrespective to the pathogenic origin of the antigen.
Development of recombinant vaccines against nematode species of ruminants
Professor Jacqui Matthews, Royal (Dick)
