Partial efficacy of a VSV-SIV/MVA-SIV vaccine regimen against oral SIV challenge in infant macaques.

Despite antiretroviral medications, the rate of pediatric HIV-1 infections through breast-milk transmission has been staggering in developing countries. Therefore, the development of a vaccine to protect vulnerable infant populations should be actively pursued. We previously demonstrated that oral immunization of newborn macaques with vesicular stomatitis virus expressing simian immunodeficiency virus genes (VSV-SIV) followed 2 weeks later by an intramuscular boost with modified vaccinia ankara virus expressing SIV (MVA-SIV) successfully induced SIV-specific T and B cell responses in multiple …

Одна вакцина от инъекции защищает нечеловеческих приматов от инфекции марбургским вирусом и тремя видами вируса эболы.

Филовирусный вирус Марбурга и вирус Эболы вызывают сильную геморрагическую лихорадку с высокой смертностью у людей и нечеловеческих приматов. Одной из наиболее перспективных филовирусных вакцин, разрабатываемых в настоящее время, является система, основанная на рекомбинантном вирусе сосудистого стоматита (VSV), которая отражает единый филовирус гликотеина (GP) вместо VSV glycoprotein (G). Здесь мы провели концептуальное исследование, с тем чтобы определить потенциал применения одной вакцины для инъекции, способной защитить нечеловеческие приматы от заирского эболавируса (SEBOV), заирского эбол

The filoviruses Marburg virus and Ebola virus cause severe hemorrhagic fever with high mortality in humans and nonhuman primates. Among the most promising filovirus vaccines under development is a system based on recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) that expresses a single filovirus glycoprotein (GP) in place of the VSV glycoprotein (G). Here, we per…

Identification of possible candidate genes regulating Sjögren's syndrome-associated autoimmunity: a potential role for TNFSF4 in autoimmune exocrinopathy.

INTRODUCTION: Sjögren syndrome (SjS) is a systemic autoimmune disease in which an immunological attack primarily against the salivary and lacrimal glands results in the loss of acinar cell tissue and function, leading to stomatitis sicca and keratoconjunctivitis sicca. In recent years, two genetic regions, one on chromosome 1 (designated autoimmune exocrinopathy 2 or Aec2) and the second on chromosome 3 (designated autoimmune exocrinopathy 1 or Aec1) derived from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, have been shown to be necessary and sufficient to replicate SjS-like disease in nonsusceptible C57BL/6…
