Novel Platforms for the Development of a Universal Influenza Vaccine
Despite advancements in immunotherapeutic approaches, influenza continues to cause severe illness, particularly among immunocompromised individuals, young children, and elderly adults. Vaccination is the most effective way to reduce rates of morbidity and mortality caused by influenza viruses. Frequent genetic shift and drift among influenza-virus strains with the resultant disparity between ci...
متن کاملDevelopment of a universal CTL-based vaccine for influenza.
In pursuit of better influenza vaccines, many strategies are being studied worldwide. An attractive alternative is the generation of a broadly cross-reactive vaccine based on the induction of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) directed against conserved internal antigens of influenza A virus. The feasibility of this approach using recombinant viral vectors has recently been demonstrated in mice and ...
متن کاملAnimal Models for Influenza Viruses: Implications for Universal Vaccine Development
Influenza virus infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the human population. Depending on the virulence of the influenza virus strain, as well as the immunological status of the infected individual, the severity of the respiratory disease may range from sub-clinical or mild symptoms to severe pneumonia that can sometimes lead to death. Vaccines remain the primary publi...
متن کاملEvaluation of immunogenicity of recombinant influenza nucleoprotein (NP) for universal vaccine
Background: Influenza vaccines based on conserved proteins are being developed persistently. The conserved protein vaccines based on Nucleoprotein (NP) are highly protected vaccines against influenza viruses that can be used as a Universal vaccine. Aluminum hydroxide (Alum) is the most common adjuvant used in vaccine formulation to improve immunization by altering the epitopes’ folds. However, ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a novel universal immune receptor for antigen targeting
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) possess fixed specificity for a single antigen and require empirical testing in T cells. To address this, we have developed a novel, adaptable immune receptor strategy that allows for the rapid generation and testing of T cells of nearly infinite antigen specificity.
