High-dose (HD) influenza vaccine shows improved relative efficacy against influenza disease compared to standard-dose (SD) vaccine in individuals ⩾65years. This has been partially credited to superior serological responses, but a comprehensive understanding of cell-mediated immunity (CMI) of HD vaccine remains lacking. In the current study, a total of 105 participants were randomly administered HD...
Background & Aims: Strict T H 1 polarization is believed to underlie the pathogenesis of intestinal inflammation in Crohn’s disease. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that T H 2 cytokines also may participate in disease development in SAMP1/YitFc mice that spontaneously develop terminal ileitis with perianal manifestations. Methods: Cytokine messenger RNA (mRNA) expression...
In a short time, West Nile virus has developed into a nationwide health and veterinary problem. The high virulence of the circulating virus and related lineage 1 WN strains hinders development of an attenuated live vaccine. We describe an attenuated WN isolate, WN1415, which is a molecularly cloned descendant of the WN prototype B956 strain. The parent virus belongs to lineage 2, members of which...
Human interleukin 1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist (hIL-1ra), an anti-inflammatory cytokine and naturally occurring antagonist of IL-1, may be regulated at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate post-transcriptional regulation of hIL-1ra with specific focus on the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of hIL-1ra mRNA using the luciferase reporter gene...
