... Persistent infection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is a leading cause of some cancers, including cervical cancer. However, with over 20 carcinogenic HPV types, it is difficult to design a multivalent vaccine that can offer complete protection. Here, we describe the design and optimization of a HPV51/69/26 triple-type chimeric virus-like particle (VLP) for vaccine development. Using E. co ...
... T. gondii infection is characterized by a high global prevalence. Nearly, 16–40% of people have been infected by T. gondii. Although T. gondii often causes subclinical infection, it may cause severe complications in newborns with congenital infection and immunocompromised individuals. Constant attempts of scientists have made valuable findings in the development of T. gondii candidate vaccines. Ho ...

Abstract:
... The main pathogen causing severe and neurotrophic hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is enterovirus A71 (EV71). EV71 infection is among the major cause of serious public health burden and economic loss especially in the Asia-pacific region. Yet, no specific anti-viral treatment against this life-threatening infection is currently available. Thus, the best way to control EV71 infection is by vacci ...

... Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections are a serious drawback on small ruminant production. Since anthelmintic resistance has extended, optimisation of alternative non-chemical control strategies has attracted interest. Recently, a prototype recombinant vaccine protected immunologically mature sheep from Texel-cross and Canaria Sheep breeds against Teladorsagia circumcincta. The level of prote ...

Abstract:
... The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), belonging to the family Coronaviridae and genus Betacoronavirus, has been recognized as a highly pathogenic virus. Due to the lack of therapeutic or preventive agents against MERS-CoV, developing an effective vaccine is essential for preventing a viral outbreak. To address this, we developed a recombinant S1 subunit of MERS-CoV spike pro ...

Abstract:
... The enhanced transmissibility and immune evasion associated with emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants demands the development of next-generation vaccines capable of inducing superior protection amid a shifting pandemic landscape. Since a portion of the global population harbors some level of immunity from vaccines based on the original Wuhan-Hu-1 SARS-CoV-2 sequence or natural infection, an important ques ...

Abstract:
... The potential use of biological agents has become a major public health concern worldwide. According to the CDC classification, Bacillus anthracis and Clostridium botulinum, the bacterial pathogens that cause anthrax and botulism, respectively, are considered to be the most dangerous potential biological agents. Currently, there is no licensed vaccine that is well suited for mass immunization in t ...

Abstract:
... Animal growth traits are directly linked with the economics of livestock species. A somatostatin DNA vaccine has been developed to improve the growth of animals. However, the growth-promoting effect is still unsatisfying. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of a novel eukaryotic dual expression vaccine known as pIRES-S/CST14-S/2SS, which encodes the genes obtained by fusing somatostatin ...

Abstract:
... Breast cancer was ranked first in global cancer incidence in 2020, and HER2 overexpression in breast cancer accounts for 20–30% of breast cancer patients. Current therapeutic strategies increase the survival rate, but resistance to them occurs frequently, and there is an urgent need to develop novel treatments such as DNA vaccines which can induce a specific and long-lasting immune response agains ...
... Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) is one of the common pathogens in the largemouth bass industry, which can cause lethal diseases in juvenile fish and enormous economic losses. To establish effective means to prevent MSRV infection, the pcDNA3.1‐G plasmid containing the MSRV glycoprotein gene was successfully constructed and intramuscularly injected into the largemouth bass to evaluate the ...
... Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a respiratory pathogen that causes tuberculosis (TB). There are a large number of proteins that are involved in the pathogenesis of TB. Stimulating the immune response against TB is very important to clear the pathogens from host. In the present study, an immunoinformatics conduit is used for designing an epitope based chimeric vaccine against TB. Enhanced intra ...

Abstract:
... Flaviviruses are important human pathogens because of their global distribution and disease severity. The high structural similarity among flaviviruses induces cross-immunity, with individual flaviviruses exhibiting crossreactive infection-enhancing and/or -neutralizing activities against other flaviviruses. Unlike neutralizing antibodies, enhancing antibodies may increase the risk of disease seve ...

Abstract:
... Salmonella typhi is notorious for causing enteric fever which is also known as typhoid fever. It emerged as an extreme drug resistant strain that requires urgent attention to prevent its global spread. Statistically, about 11–17 million typhoid illnesses are reported worldwide annually. The only alternative approach for the control of this illness is proper vaccination. However, available typhoid ...

Abstract:
... Over the last few decades, several emerging or reemerging viral diseases with no readily available vaccines have ravaged the world. A platform to fastly generate vaccines inducing potent and durable neutralizing antibody and T cell responses is sorely needed. Bioinformatically identified epitope-based vaccines can focus on immunodominant T cell epitopes and induce more potent immune responses than ...
... BACKGROUND: MDA-7/IL-24 cytokine has shown potent antitumor properties in various types of cancer without exerting any significant toxicity on healthy cells. It has also been proved to encompass pro-immune Th1 cytokine-like behavior. Several E7 DNA vaccines have developed against human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cervical cancer. However, the restricted immunogenicity has limited their clinical a ...
... Viral diseases are extremely widespread infections that change constantly through mutations. To produce vaccines against viral diseases, transient expression systems are employed, and Nicotiana benthamiana (tobacco) plants are a rapidly expanding platform. In this study, we developed a recombinant protein vaccine targeting the major capsid protein (MCP) of iridovirus fused with the lysine motif (L ...
... The intracellular bacterium Ehrlichia canis is the causative pathogen of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) in dogs. Despite its veterinary and medical importance, there is currently no available vaccine against this pathogen. In this study, the recombinant GP19 (rGP19) was produced and used as a recombinant vaccine prototype in a mouse model against experimental E. canis infection. The efficacy ...
