Mathematical models for vaccination, waning immunity and immune system boosting: a general framework [PDF]

, 2015
When the body gets infected by a pathogen or receives a vaccine dose, the immune system develops pathogen-specific immunity. Induced immunity decays in time and years after recovery/vaccination the host might become susceptible again.

Newly identified properties of known pharmaceuticals and myxobacterial small molecules revealed by screening for autophagy modulators

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Autophagy is a cellular degradation process involved in, for example, immune responses to pathogens and neurodegeneration. To identify modulators of autophagy, we developed a microscopy‐based screening assay and identified previously unknown autophagy‐modulating activities in known drugs and natural products from myxobacteria and fungi.

Neuroinflammation as a result of non‐neurotropic herpesvirus infection

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Atypical memory B cells (ABCs) might stimulate autoreactive T cells to cause neuroinflammation and CNS myeloid cell activation during MS. Abstract The non‐neurotropic Epstein Barr virus (EBV) has been suggested to initiate the prodromal phase of multiple sclerosis (MS), often years before the first clinical symptoms. This review discusses mechanisms by

The live attenuated varicella-zoster virus vaccine vOka: Molecular and cellular biology of its skin attenuation

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics
Infection with varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox and shingles, both manifesting as a blistering skin rash. The skin is central to VZV, as the site of viral replication, transmission from cell-free virus in blisters and as the gateway to ...

The changing epidemiology of varicella and herpes zoster in Hong Kong before universal varicella vaccination in 2014. [PDF]

, 2018
In Hong Kong, universal varicella vaccination started in July 2014. Before this, children could receive varicella vaccine via the private market. We analysed the epidemiology of varicella and zoster before universal vaccination.
