Arenaviral vaccine vectors to combat infectious diseases
In recent years, the use of viral vaccine vectors has gained immense interest over traditional vaccine strategies due to their ability to replicate in order to induce high immune responses against the intended antigens without the need for adjuvant co-administration. Several viral vectors, including but not necessarily limited to adenoviruses, poxviruses and alphaviruses are currently in variou...
متن کاملTaiwan's Potential to Assist Developing Countries to Combat Infectious Diseases
James Phelps I am a disease monger. I teach primary care doctors how to identify bipolar disorder. Worse yet, I take money from pharmaceutical companies for doing so. I use it to subsidize my practice so that I can treat patients with no insurance, or little money, who now account for over a third of my patients—in part because the pharmaceutical companies have drained so much money out of the ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides and infectious diseases
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are genetically encoded, evolutionarily ancient defence molecule, which act as primary effectors of the innate immune system. Although their origin dates back to the 1920s, research on AMPs has gained momentum relatively recently after the discovery of the underlying mechanisms of innate immunity and their modulation by AMPs. In mammals, the source of AMPs is mainl...
متن کاملVaccines for mucosal immunity to combat emerging infectious diseases.
The mucosal immune system consists of molecules, cells, and organized lymphoid structures intended to provide immunity to pathogens that impinge upon mucosal surfaces. Mucosal infection by intracellular pathogens results in the induction of cell- mediated immunity, as manifested by CD4-positive (CD4 + ) T helper-type 1 cells, as well as CD8 + cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. These responses are normall...
متن کاملAptamer-Based Therapeutics: New Approaches to Combat Human Viral Diseases
Viruses replicate inside the cells of an organism and continuously evolve to contend with an ever-changing environment. Many life-threatening diseases, such as AIDS, SARS, hepatitis and some cancers, are caused by viruses. Because viruses have small genome sizes and high mutability, there is currently a lack of and an urgent need for effective treatment for many viral pathogens. One approach th...
