Influenza viral neuraminidase: the forgotten antigen
Expert Review of Vaccines, 2011 Influenza is the most common cause of vaccine-preventable morbidity and mortality despite the availability of the conventional trivalent inactivated vaccine and the live-attenuated influenza vaccine. These vaccines induce an immunity dominated by the response to hemagglutinin (HA) and are most effective when there is sufficient antigenic relatedness ...

Strategies to induce broadly protective antibody responses to viral glycoproteins
Expert Review of Vaccines, 2017 Introduction: Currently, several universal/broadly protective influenza virus vaccine candidates are under development. Many of these vaccines are based on strategies to induce protective antibody responses against the surface glycoproteins of ...

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 Effective viral clearance requires the induction of virus-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Since dendritic cells (DC) have a central role in initiating and shaping virus-specific CTL responses, it is important to understand how DC initiate ...

Phylodynamics of rapidly adapting pathogens: extinction and speciation of a Red Queen [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Rapidly evolving pathogens like influenza viruses can persist by accumulating antigenic novelty fast enough to evade the adaptive immunity of the host population, yet without continuous accumulation of genetic diversity. This dynamical state is often compared to the Red Queen evolving as fast as it can just to maintain its foothold in the host ...

Concentration of Complement Fixing Viral Antigens.
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1966 SummaryComplement fixing antigens produced in cell culture by a variety of viruses were concentrated by slow speed sedimentation of undisrupted virus infected cells and removal of the supernatant medium. In most cases, concentration of virus infectivity was demonstrated as well.

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

Computer-assisted vaccine design [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 We define a new parameter to quantify the antigenic distance between two H3N2 influenza strains: we use this parameter to measure antigenic distance between circulating H3N2 strains and the closest vaccine component of the influenza vaccine. For the data between 1971 and 2004, the measure of antigenic distance correlates better with efficacy in humans ...
