Persistence of immunological memory as a potential correlate of long-term, vaccine-induced protection against Ebola virus disease in humans

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionIn the absence of clinical efficacy data, vaccine protective effect can be extrapolated from animals to humans, using an immunological biomarker in humans that correlates with protection in animals, in a statistical approach called ...

Immunization for Ebola virus infection [PDF]

Nature Medicine, 1998
Infection by Ebola virus causes rapidly progressive, often fatal, symptoms of fever, hemorrhage and hypotension. Previous attempts to elicit protective immunity for this disease have not met with success. We report here that protection against the lethal effects of Ebola virus can be achieved in an animal model by immunizing with plasmids encoding ...

Survey on Visualization of Information Diffusion over Networks

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Information Diffusion (ID) describes how a value (e.g., a pathogen, a rumor, a packet) spreads through an underlying “medium” network of elements (e.g., a social or computer network). Understanding the information diffusion process is essential to predicting trends, controlling misinformation, and enhancing decision‐making as well as ...

Plant‐Based Production of Human Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Molecules

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) protein triggers adaptive immune responses by presenting antigens on antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) to be recognised by CD4+ T cells. Recombinant MHC II proteins are effective for the analysis of peptide‐binding interaction, detection of antigen‐specific T‐cells and clinical testing for donor‐
