Live attenuated vaccines for invasive Salmonella infections

Evaluation of Live Attenuated Measles Vaccines Prepared in Human Diploid Cells for Reimmunization

Vaccines for invasive fungal infections

Morbidity and mortality from invasive fungal infections remain unacceptably high despite availability of new antifungal agents, underscoring the need for more effective preventative strategies. Due to our enhanced understanding of the host defense and pathogenetic mechanisms that lead to invasive fungal infections, it should be feasible to develop vaccines targeting these infections. A common i...

Vaccines against invasive Salmonella disease

Serovars of the Gram-negative bacterium Salmonella enterica are usually associated with food-borne diarrheal illness in high-income countries. Such gastrointestinal disease is normally self-limiting and rarely life-threatening. Perhaps surprisingly, Salmonella has not been identified as a principal etiological agent of diarrhea in developing countries. 1 Nevertheless, Salmonellae are responsibl...

Immunization of mice and calves against Salmonella dublin with attenuated live and inactivated vaccines.

Previous findings, viz. that mice can be successfully immunized against infection with Salmonella dublin with either live or inactivated vaccine, were confirmed. Immunity lasted for at least 12 weeks in mice which had been immunized with inactivated alum-precipitated vaccine. The immunogenicity of inactivated vaccine gradually decreased on storage at 4 degrees C, but this was only detectable if...
