We determined the immunogenicity of conjugated Haemophilus influenzae type b and pneumococcal vaccines by quantitative analysis of the antibody response in asplenic patients. To that end, we vaccinated 92 patients with a conjugated Hib vaccine and 54 received two doses of conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV7), followed at six months by a plain polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (PPV23). Antibody...
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has recently caused catastrophic losses in swine industry worldwide. The commercial vaccines only provide a limited protection against PRRSV infection. At present, DNA vaccine is the focus on the new vaccines. The gene fragment (p28) coding for the molecular adjuvants complement protein C3d (mC3d) from BALB/c mouse was cloned and expressed...
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), an important pathogen in humans and animals, is capable of causing febrile syndrome, encephalitis and death. The E glycoprotein of JEV is the main target for inducing neutralizing antibodies and protective immunity in the natural host. In this work, we have succeeded in construction of one recombinant baculovirus BacSC-E expressing His6-tagged E with the baculovirus...
We conducted a retrospective review of all U.S. military dependents less than 5 years old hospitalized with rotavirus-associated gastroenteritis from July 2003 to June 2009. The two post-vaccine seasons showed a significant reduction of 62.4% (95% CI, 58.6–65.8, P<0.001) in rotavirus gastroenteritis hospitalization rate compared to the three pre-vaccine seasons. Infants less than 12 months old...
We have found out that transfection of the RTG-2 cell line with the viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) glycoprotein G (G VHSV )-coding plasmid induces an anti-VHSV state, similar to that induced by poly I:C. Taking the advantage of the constitutive expression of toll-like receptor 9 gene (tlr9) in RTG-2 cells, we have investigated whether this antiviral state was induced by the cytosine-phosphodiester-guanine...
The use of inactivated poliovirus vaccines (IPV) will be required to achieve, world-wide eradication of polio. The current expense of IPV is however prohibitive for, some countries, and therefore efforts to decrease the costs of the vaccine are a high, priority. Our results show that the addition of oil-in-water emulsion adjuvants to an, inactivated trivalent poliovirus vaccine are dose-sparing and...
The serological response of the current 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza monovalent vaccine in children exhibiting high baseline seropositive rate was evaluated though a community-based household study. Seroprotection rate of >90% and seroconversion rate of >50% were observed in children one month after receiving the pandemic vaccine. Among children with low baseline antibody titer, a significant...
The vaccinology landscape has changed, with national authorities now being increasingly accountable to new stakeholders such as health insurers, regional regulatory bodies, the media, and civil society. Here, we discuss how civil society organisations (CSOs), such as patient and women's groups, have become important drivers in the introduction and sustainability of new vaccination programs. This shift...
Toxoplasma gondii, the pathogen of toxoplasmosis, can infect most mammals and birds. The high incidence and severe or lethal damages of toxoplasmosis clearly indicate the need for the development of a more effective vaccine. We constructed a DNA cocktail, containing plasmids encoding the full-length SAG1 and ROP2 genes of T. gondii and evaluated its immune response and protective efficacy in comparison...
The haemagglutinin (HA) protein plays a key role in the immunogenicity and pathogenicity of Avibacterium paragallinarum, but the domain organization and antigenicity exhibited by different domains of this protein remain unknown. This study reports the presence of a hypervariable region in the HA proteins of strains of serovars A and C of A. paragallinarum. This hypervariable region is located approximately...
It is well documented that 5–10% hepatitis B adult vaccinees are non- and hypo-responders and probably are not adequately protected against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The sequence variations of genes involved in processes such as pathogen recognition, antigen processing and presentation, and differentiation/maturation of lymphocytes may affect the duration and intensity of protective humoral...
Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) is a mosquito-borne RNA virus which causes lethal infection in humans and equines. There are no commercial vaccines or anti-WEEV drugs available for humans. We used replication-defective, human adenovirus serotype-5 (HAd5) as a delivery vector for developing WEEV vaccine. Our previous study found delivery of both E1 and E2 envelope proteins of WEEV by HAd5...
We investigated the use of a live, attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi vaccine strain as an antitumor immunotherapy. Mice bearing a subcutaneous tumor (LM3 mammary adenocarcinoma) were immunized on three occasions with S. Typhi strain CVD 915 by injection into the tumor, the peritumoral tissue and the draining lymph node areas; this procedure was termed Salmonella multiple treatment (Salmonella...
Amebiasis in the murine model can be prevented by vaccination with the Gal/GalNAc lectin through a T cell-dependent mechanism. In this work we further decipher the mechanism of this protection. Mice vaccinated with the recombinant “LecA” fragment of the Gal/GalNAc lectin with alum were capable of transferring protection to naïve recipients by both CD4+ T cells and surprisingly CD8+ T cells. We then...
A novel 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus was transmitted from humans to humans worldwide. The live attenuated monovalent A H1N1 vaccine (LAMV) for intranasal administration has shown promising immunogenicity and safety in clinical trials and for human use, but the experimental data based on LAMV is incomplete. In this study, using reverse genetic technology, we produced a cold-adapted (ca), live attenuated...
The great clinical and economical impact of Toxoplasma gondii infections makes the development of an effective vaccine for controlling toxoplasmosis an extremely important aim. In the presented study, we evaluate the protective and immunogenic properties of three recombinant subunit vaccines composed of rROP2+rGRA4+rSAG1, rROP2+rROP4+rGRA4 and rROP2+rROP4+rSAG1 proteins of T. gondii in an experimental...
Degradable polymer nanoparticles (NPs, 50nm) based on polypropylene sulfide (PPS) were conjugated to thiolated antigen and adjuvant proteins by reversible disulfide bonds and evaluated in mucosal vaccination. Ovalbumin was used as a model antigen, and antigen-conjugated NPs were administered intranasally in the mouse. We show penetration of nasal mucosae, transit via M cells, and uptake by antigen-presenting...
