Figure Lengend Snippet: The fabrications of fluorescent NP protein and fluorescent NP nanoparticle were described previously. (46) Mice were fed alfalfa-free diets for two weeks to reduce autofluorescence background before intramuscular injection with five micrograms of fluorescent antigen each mouse. Biodistributions of intramuscularly injected Alexa Fluor 700 succinimidyl ester dye-conjugated fluorescent NP nanoparticle and fluorescent soluble NP protein were analyzed in vivo using Perkin-Elmer IVIS Spectrum In Vivo Imaging System at the following time points: pre-injection, 0-hour post injection (hpi), 24-hpi and 48-hpi. (46) Mice injected with DPBS were used as negative control.
Article Snippet: 124 A phase I clinical trial of the universal influenza A nanoparticle vaccine, M2eHBc (ACAM-FLU-A™) sponsored by Acambis (later acquired by Sanofi Pasteur), generated interesting results.
