Mosquitoes were orally infected with the chikungunya virus. Midguts were dissected at day 5 post-infection, fixed and permeabilised. Virus is shown in red (anti-E2 protein, cyanine 3), the actin network in green (phalloidin 548) and nuclei in blue (DAPI).

Protein conjugates for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease

Development of specific imaging nanoprobes against intracerebral targets is a challenging field of research, particularly for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. Probes based on camelid single-domain antibody-fragments (VHHs or nanobodies) are promising tools due […]

Clinical development of cancer vaccines

CyaA-based therapeutic cancer vaccinesBased on our discovery that a bacterial protein, the adenylate cyclase (CyaA), binds to dendritic cells (DCs), we have developed a highly efficient vector capable of targeting a wide range of […]
