BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: The fibronectin binding protein Sfb1 of Streptococcus pyogenes is a well characterised antigen which induces protection against lethal challenge with group A streptococcus (GAS) when adjuvanted with cholera toxin B-subunit (CTB). As an alternative to CTB adjuvanted intranasal immunisations we investigated the immune responses generated in mice using Sfb1 incorporated in to the skin and mucosal adjuvant SAMA4. METHODS: Mice (BALB/c) were vaccinated intradermally with 100 microl of either SAMA4 (adjuvant only group) or SAMA4/Sfb1 and were boosted 7 days later. Mice vaccinated with CTB based vaccines were immunised by intranasal inoculation with a mixture containing 30 …

Both coherent perspective jitter and explicit changing-size cues have been shown to improve the vection induced by radially expanding optic flow. The current study examined whether these stimulus-based vection advantages could be modified by altering cognitions/expectations about both the likelihood of self-motion perception and the purpose of the experiment. In the main experiment, participants were randomly assigned into two groups – one where the cognitive conditions biased participants towards self-motion perception and another where the cognitive conditions biased them towards object motion perception. Contrary to earlier findings by Lepecq et al (1995), we found that identical visual displays were less …
