Options and Obstacles for Designing a Universal Influenza Vaccine

Viruses, 2014
Since the discovery of antibodies specific to a highly conserved stalk region of the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA), eliciting such antibodies has been considered the key to developing a universal influenza vaccine that confers broad-spectrum ...

Cross-protection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa polysaccharides [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1982
High-molecular-weight polysaccharide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa immunotypes 1 and 2 gave cross-protection in outbred CD-1 mice challenged with the heterologous immunotype organism. Both active immunization with 50 micrograms of polysaccharide, as well as passive transfer of immune serum were effective.

MiRNA Targeted NP Genome of Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccines Provide Cross-Protection against a Lethal Influenza Virus Infection

Vaccines, 2020
The miRNA-based strategy has been used to develop live attenuated influenza vaccines. In this study, the nucleoprotein (NP) genome segment of the influenza virus was inserted by different perfect miRNA-192-5p target sites, and the virus was rescued by ...

Memory Th17 cell-mediated protection against lethal secondary pneumococcal pneumonia following influenza infection

mBio, 2023
Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) frequently causes secondary pneumonia after influenza A virus (IAV) infection, leading to high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Concomitant pneumococcal and influenza vaccination improves protection against coinfection but

Elimination of Falciparum Malaria and Emergence of Severe Dengue: An Independent or Interdependent Phenomenon?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The global malaria burden, including falciparum malaria, has been reduced by 50% since 2000, though less so in Sub-Saharan Africa. Regional malaria elimination campaigns beginning in the 1940s, up-scaled in the 1950s, succeeded in the 1970s in ...

A Near-T2T Genome Assembly of Elsinoe fawcettii Provides Insights into Host Adaptation Driven by Cis-Regulatory Evolution

Journal of Fungi
Elsinoe fawcettii is a devastating citrus pathogen worldwide, yet high-quality genomic resources are lacking, limiting insights into its adaptive mechanisms. Seventeen strains collected from 13 host species across 5 Chinese provinces were confirmed as E.
