Immunologic Evaluation of DNA Vaccine Encoding Influenza Virus M2 Gene in Type A- Influenza Mice Model
Abstract Background and Objective: The M2 gene expressing the conserved protein in influenza virus can be used to make a single-dose vaccine with permanent immunity. Material and Methods: The mice were allocated to one case group immunized with pcDNA3-M2 and two control groups with pcDNA and PBS, in three dozes with interval of two weeks. Two weeks after the last injection, Cellular imm...
متن کاملLive attenuated influenza vaccine--a review.
Owing to the variability of influenza viruses, vaccine composition needs to be up-dated annually. As many variables can influence their efficacy, vaccines are still considered "sub-optimal". Many studies have been carried out in recent years to improve vaccines. In particular, researchers and vaccine-producing corporations have focused on developing a live vaccine. Among the candidate vaccines,...
متن کاملInfluenza B virus with modified hemagglutinin cleavage site as a novel attenuated live vaccine.
BACKGROUND Both pandemic and interpandemic influenza is associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Seasonal epidemics are caused by both influenza A and B virus strains that cocirculate with varying predominance and may give rise to severe illness equally. According to World Health Organization recommendations, current annual vaccines are composed of 2 type A and 1 type B virus-spe...
متن کاملElastase-Dependant Live Attenuated Swine Influenza Virus Vaccine in Pigs
Swine influenza (SI) is an acute, highly contagious, respiratory disease of swine caused by influenza A viruses. In addition, SI infections possess significant human public health concerns as they may serve as intermediate host for the generation of new pandemic viruses. Vaccination is still the primary method for the prevention and control of SI. Currently, commercially available vaccines agai...
متن کاملSmall-particle aerosolization of live attenuated influenza vaccine virus.
To the Editor—In their recent study, Bischoff et al [1] exposed subjects to a small-particle aerosol of commercially available live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV; MedImmune LLC, Gai-thersburg, MD). LAIV was used as a proxy for wild-type influenza to evaluate the protection provided by N95 respirators, surgical masks, and eye protection. Although the study addresses the important question o...
