immunogenicity, etc ; fungi; glycoproteins; lymph; mannans; vaccines; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... In this issue of Cell, Borriello et al. show that soluble fungal mannans elicit potent innate immune responses within skin-draining lymph nodes. These can be exploited for effective development of adaptive immune responses against viral glycoproteins, thus enhancing vaccine immunogenicity and protection. ...
immunogenicity, etc ; BCG vaccine; live vaccines; tuberculosis; vaccination; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... The BCG vaccine will, in 2021, have been in use for 100 years. Much remains to be understood, including the reasons for its variable efficacy against pulmonary tuberculosis in adults. This review will discuss what has been learnt about the BCG vaccine in the last two decades, and whether this new information can be exploited to improve its efficacy, by enhancing its ability to induce either antige ...

immunogenicity, etc ; gastroenteritis; genotype; vaccines; Colombia; Finland; Panama; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Young children can suffer severe consequences of norovirus gastroenteritis. We performed a dose-finding study of a bivalent virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine candidate (TAK-214) in healthy 1–8-year-old children. In this phase 2 study two age cohorts (1–3 and 4–8 years of age inclusive, N = 120 per cohort) of children enrolled from Finland, Panama and Colombia were initially randomized 1:1:1:1 to f ...

Abstract:
... There are currently no published data on the use of HepB-CpG (HEPLISAV-B®) during pregnancy or in women with documented pregnancies in the post-vaccination period. We aimed to evaluate data from the clinical development program of HepB-CpG in women who became pregnant during study participation and follow up. We identified all study participants in the HepB-CpG pivotal pre-licensure clinical trial ...
immunogenicity, etc ; Porcine circovirus; capsid; cross reaction; viruses; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Porcine circovirus (PCV) comprises four types, PCV1, PCV2, PCV3, and PCV4, which belong to the Circovirus genus of the family Circoviridae. PCV1 is nonpathogenic, whereas PCV2, PCV3, and PCV4 can infect pigs and cause disease. However, due to a lack of experimental evidence, whether vaccines based on PCV capsid (Cap) can induce cross-reactivity against PCVs remains controversial. In this study, re ...
immunogenicity, etc ; Staphylococcus aureus; hospitals; pathogens; placebos; vaccination; vaccines; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen that causes hospital and community infections. To control Staphylococcus aureus infection and reduce the usage of antibiotics, we evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a recombinant five-antigen Staphylococcus aureus vaccine (rFSAV) in healthy adults. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1a study and a randomized, ope ...
immunogenicity, etc ; Camelidae; antibodies; epitopes; genes; humans; risk; sharks; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Single‐domain antibodies (sdAbs), the autonomous variable domains of camelid and shark heavy‐chain antibodies, have many desirable properties as components of biologic drugs. However, their sequences may increase the risk of immunogenicity and antidrug antibody (ADA) development in humans, and thus, sdAbs are routinely humanized during development. Here, we review and summarize the available evide ...
immunogenicity, etc ; adjuvants; biodegradability; cancer therapy; immunostimulants; immunosuppression; immunotherapy; neoplasms; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Immunotherapy, including checkpoint blockade immunotherapy (CBI), has witnessed remarkable progress in cancer therapy. Nonetheless, significant obstacles to successful immunotherapy remain. Notably, tumour non-responsiveness to immunotherapy due to immunosuppressive tumour microenvironments (TMEs). To revitalize immunosuppressive TMEs various therapeutic strategies have been reported by researcher ...
immunogenicity, etc ; cancer vaccines; immune response; immunotherapy; metastasis; neoplasms; peptides; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Combinational photoimmunotherapy (PIT) is considered to be an ideal strategy for the treatment of highly recurrent and metastatic cancer, because it can ablate the primary tumor and provide in situ an autologous tumor vaccine to induce the host immune response, ultimately achieving the goal of controlling tumor growth and distal metastasis. Significant efforts have been devoted to enhancing the im ...

Abstract:
... The MenB-FHbp vaccine is licensed to prevent meningococcal serogroup B disease on either a 2-dose (0, 6 months) or 3-dose (0, 1–2, 6 months) series. This phase 3 study further assessed the immunogenicity and safety of the 2-dose MenB-FHbp schedule.Subjects 10–25 years of age received MenB-FHbp (months 0, 6) and the quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine MenACWY-CRM (month 0). Primary immunog ...

Abstract:
... Reducing the amount of antigen is an important strategy to resolve the present shortage of IPV supply for global polio eradication. In the study, we compared the immunogenicity of adjuvanted and non-adjuvanted fractional-dose of IPV made from Sabin strains (sIPV) by intradermal (ID) administration versus the full-dose of sIPV by intramuscular (IM) administration in rats by comparing seroconversion ...

Abstract:
... Carbohydrate-based nanofibrils, including cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and chitin nanofibrils (ChNFs) are highly ordered architectures which are the basis of various biological components with hierarchical features, low-cost, biocompatibility, and biofunctionality. To preserve these exceptional structural topographies and to directly use these natural nanofibrils assembly, different approaches hav ...

immunogenicity, etc ; S-adenosylmethionine; liquid chromatography; methyltransferases; tandem mass spectrometry; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Enzymatic modification of the 5′-cap is a versatile approach to modulate the properties of mRNAs. Transfer of methyl groups from S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet) or functional moieties from non-natural analogs by methyltransferases (MTases) allows for site-specific modifications at the cap. These modifications have been used to tune translation or control it in a temporal manner and even influence ...
immunogenicity, etc ; anthrax; anthrax toxin; antibody formation; morphogenesis; neoplasms; vaccines; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Anthrax protective antigen (PA), the receptor-binding component of anthrax toxin, elicits toxin-neutralizing antibodies which provide protection against anthrax disease. PA binds to two mammalian receptors, capillary morphogenesis protein-2 (CMG2) and tumor endothelial marker-8 (TEM8). We previously observed that binding of PA to its receptors plays a role in eliciting a strong toxin-neutralizing ...

Abstract:
... Virus-like particles (VLPs) modified through different molecular technologies are employed as delivery vehicles or platforms for heterologous antigen display. We have recently created a norovirus (NoV) VLP platform, where two influenza antigens, the extracellular domain of matrix protein M2 (M2e) or the stem domain of the major envelope glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA2) are displayed on the surface ...

Abstract:
... Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) has shown cytotoxicity against various tumor cells in vitro in an iron-dependent manner, but its in vivo antitumor efficacy is compromised by its rapid degradation and clearance. Here we show the induction of ferroptosis by DHA in an immunogenic fashion and the maximization of in vivo antitumor efficacy of DHA by co-delivering a cholesterol derivative of DHA (Chol-DHA) and ...

Abstract:
... High-dose influenza vaccine offers better protection against influenza/associated complications compared with standard-dose formulation. We evaluated immunogenicity and safety of high-dose influenza vaccine (QIV-HD) and standard-dose (QIV-SD) in older adults (≥65 years) in Taiwan. This was a phase III, randomized, modified double-blind, active-controlled, multi-center, descriptive study in older a ...
