Gamma-irradiation, particularly an irradiation dose of 50kGy, has been utilised widely to sterilise highly pathogenic agents such as Ebola, Marburg Virus, and Avian Influenza H5N1. We have reported previously that intranasal vaccination with a gamma-irradiated Influenza A virus vaccine (γ-Flu) results in cross-protective immunity. Considering the possible inclusion of highly pathogenic Influenza strains...
An estimated 5–10% of adults do not seroconvert after a three-dose primary course of hepatitis B vaccines, and are considered non-responders. Many approaches have been used to induce immunity in healthy adult non-responders, but few studies have compared their relative effectiveness. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of seroconversion rates after additional doses of four approaches:...
Following the implementation of Australia's National HPV Vaccination Program in April 2007, this study evaluated the prevalence of vaccine-targeted human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes (HPV 6, 11, 16, 18) amongst vaccine-eligible young women.Between September 2011 and August 2013, women from Victoria, Australia aged 18–25 were recruited through targeted advertising on the social networking website...
Arenaviruses are emerging pathogens known to infect via the mucosa, however no formal attempts to make mucosal vaccines have been undertaken. Here we describe a recombinant aroA attenuated Salmonella typhimurium that expresses the nucleoprotein (NP) gene of Lassa fever virus (LAS). The complete NP gene was cloned downstream of the bacterial groEL promotor and integrated into the aroA locus of S. typhimurium...
