Novel gain of function approaches for vaccine candidate identification in Burkholderia pseudomallei
The Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei is a serious environmental pathogen and the causative agent of the often fatal melioidosis. Disease occurs following exposure to contaminated water or soil, usually through cuts in the skin or via inhalation. However, the underlying mechanisms of pathogenicity remain poorly understood. B. pseudomallei is endemic to South East Asia and Northe...
متن کاملNovel Vaccine Approaches
Shiver (Abstract S4) reviewed the strategy that he and his colleagues have developed for standardized assessment of T cells through development of short-term stimulation with peptide pools and ELISPOT assays that detect cytokine-secreting cells. Studies in HIV-infected individuals showed that ELISPOT assays can reproducibly and quantitatively measure cell-mediated responses to a variety of HIV ...
متن کاملCurrent and novel approaches to vaccine development against tuberculosis
Antibiotics and vaccines are the two most successful medical countermeasures that humans have created against a number of pathogens. However a select few e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) have evaded eradication by vaccines and therapeutic approaches. TB is a global public health problem that kills 1.4 million people per year. The past decade has s...
متن کاملLarge screen approaches to identify novel malaria vaccine candidates.
Until recently, malaria vaccine development efforts have focused almost exclusively on a handful of well characterized Plasmodium falciparum antigens. Despite dedicated work by many researchers on different continents spanning more than half a century, a successful malaria vaccine remains elusive. Sequencing of the P. falciparum genome has revealed more than five thousand genes, providing the f...
متن کاملNovel vaccine approaches for protection against intracellular pathogens.
Vaccination against intracellular pathogens requires generation of a pool of memory T cells able to respond upon infection and mediate either killing of the infected cell or induce killing mechanisms in the infected cell. T cell-inducing vaccines must aim to target the antigen to antigen-presenting cells (APCs) so that it can be presented on MHC molecules on the cell surface. Methods to do this...
