In March 2013, the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the first reported case of human infection with an avian influenza A H7N9 virus. Infection with this virus often caused severe pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome resulting in a case fatality rate >35%. The risk of pandemic highlighted, once again, the need for a more rapid and scalable vaccine response...
A long-term objective when designing influenza vaccines is to create one with broad cross-reactivity that will provide effective control over influenza, no matter which strain has caused the disease. Here we summarize the results from an investigation into the immunogenic and protective capacities inherent in variations of a recombinant protein, HBc/4M2e. This protein contains four copies of the ectodomain...
BackgroundVaccination against influenza is an important strategy in preventing severe infection among children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Successful vaccination depends on both vaccine and host‐related factors. We conducted a study on factors predicting the immunogenicity of the monovalent pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza A vaccine in children with ALL.
MethodsChildren with ALL in our...
Subjects with severe motor and intellectual disability (SMID) are considered to be debilitated and at high risk of influenza infection. However, the safety and immunogenicity of pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) vaccine in these subjects have not been reported. We measured the hemagglutination inhibition antibody titer and calculated the geometric mean titer ratio (GMTR), seroprotection rate, and seroconversion...
