Laboratory of Immunochemistry
Print versionHead of the laboratory – Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Biological Sciences (DSc. in Biology), Professor
Viktor V. Novikov
The laboratory of biochemistry was organized in 1969.Research was aimed at studying the structure and function of serum proteins in order to develop therapeutic and prophylactic blood products, as well as at studying the immunological properties of various classes of immunoglobulins.
Directions of activities:
-
Development of immunoglobulin preparations suitable for intravenous administration and study of physicochemical and biological properties, as well as improvement of the quality of existing and developed preparations.
-
Development of diagnostic preparations and test systems for quantitative determination of human serum proteins.
-
Study of the role of infectious agents - pathogens of gastroenterological pathology - in the development of local and systemic shifts in autoimmune homeostasis.
-
Development of a new generation of genetically engineered vaccines for the prevention of viral infections.
Laboratory achievements:
- An industrial method has been developed for obtaining the first immunoglobulin preparation in the USSR for intravenous administration. Developers headed by Academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR I.N. Blokhinawere awarded the USSR State Prize.
- An experimental laboratory technology for obtaining the medicinal preparation ceruloplasmin has been developed.
- Experimental test systems have been developed to determine a wide range of autoantibodies and serum proteins.
- A new molecular platform has been developed for obtaining antiviral vaccines based on virus-like particles of norovirus and chimeric recombinant proteins.
- Prototypes of recombinant vaccines have been developed to prevent norovirus, coronavirus infections, and infections caused by the ECHO-30 virus.
Prospects:
- In 2019 the researches on development of recombinant vaccine of new generation for prevention of an enteroviral infection are initiated.
