General description

Heme is a small molecule present either free or bound to hemoglobin in the bloodstream of mammals. This is an alternative source of iron within the host that contains a porphyrin ring containing a Fe2+ ion called hemin.

Application

Hemin was used to study conjugation, characterization and toxicity of lipophosphoglycan-polyacrylic acid conjugate for vaccination against leishmaniasis.

Research on the conjugates of synthetic polyelectrolytes with antigenic molecules, such as proteins, peptides, or carbohydrates, is an attractive area due to their highly immunogenic character in comparison to classical adjuvants. For example, polyacrylic acid (PAA) is a weak polyelectrolyte

Bacteria adapt to dynamic changes in the host during chronic and recurrent infections. Bacterial microevolution is one type of adaptation that imparts a selective advantage. We hypothesize that recurrent episodes of disease promote microevolution through genetic mutations that modulate disease
