NIH-NIAID (U.S.A.) – Infectious diseases

Caprion is studying molecular events that enable bacteria to subvert the immune system. This work aims to define novel pathways and proteins that will provide a basis for the development of new immunotherapy targets, vaccines, and diagnostic candidates. Caprion will employ its distinctive quantitative protein profiling technologies to analyze pathogen and host proteins involved during Brucella infection. Brucella is a potential bioterrorism agent and is responsible for considerable global economic losses due to disease in cattle. However, the study layout and methodologies used are not specific to Brucella, but represent an approach applicable to many intracellular bacteria such as Salmonella, mycobacteria, Bacillus anthracis and others.
