Protection against Mucosal Infections by Secretory IgA
In the past decade, several model systems have been developed to study the details of the production of secretory IgA by the mucosal surface. Until recently, most attention in vaccine research has been directed toward establishing a vigorous systemic (predominantly IgG) humoral immune response to the infectious agent. With the recognition, however, that secretory IgA is overwhelmingly the predo...
متن کاملDNA vaccines: designing strategies against parasitic infections
The complexity of parasitic infections requires novel approaches to vaccine design. The versatility of DNA vaccination provides new perspectives. This review discusses the use of prime-boost immunizations, genetic adjuvants, multivalent vaccines and codon optimization for optimal DNA vaccine design against parasites.
متن کاملVaccines against papillomavirus infections and disease.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is the second cause of cancer-related deaths in women, the higher incidence being observed in developing countries. Infection with oncogenic types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is considered the major risk factor for the development of malignancies in the uterine cervix. However, HPV is considered to be a necessary but not sufficient cause for cervi...
متن کاملDevelopment of plant-based mucosal vaccines against widespread infectious diseases.
Mucosal vaccination is a perspective for the control of infectious diseases, since it is capable of inducing humoral and cell-mediated responses. In addition, the delivery of vaccines to mucosal surfaces makes immunization practice safe and acceptable, and eliminates needle-associated risks. Transgenic plants can be used as bioreactors for the production of mucosally delivered protective antige...
متن کاملMucosal Immunity and Vaccines
These mucosal surfaces, while located inside the body, are actually a physical barrier between the outside and the sterile interior cavity of the body known as the “systemic” environment. Critical nutrients, oxygen and other molecules are constantly taken up across these mucosal barriers; however, another important function of the mucous is to keep invading pathogens out [15]. Daily these mucou...
