Evaluating the Antiviral Efficacy of Encapsulated PKC Inhibitor BIM‐I against influenza A Virus Infection

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores nanoparticle delivery of the protein kinase C inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide‐I (BIM‐I) to combat influenza A virus infections. Encapsulation in biodegradable PLGA nanoparticles improved safety while maintaining the compound's strong antiviral activity.

Characterization of Vaccine Breakthrough Cases during Measles Outbreaks in Milan and Surrounding Areas, Italy, 2017–2021

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Despite the existence of an effective live-attenuated vaccine, measles can appear in vaccinated individuals. We investigated breakthrough measles cases identified during our surveillance activities within the measles/rubella surveillance network (MoRoNet)

DNA Nanostructure‐Templated Multivalency Enables Broad‐Spectrum Virus Inhibition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructure is introduced that organizes nanobodies or aptamers into trimeric clusters mirroring the native hemagglutinin arrangement on influenza viruses. This geometry‐matched multivalency enhances binding avidity by up to 1000‐fold, resulting in robust, broad‐spectrum viral neutralization and a 30–55% improvement in host ...

Long-lasting cross-protection against influenza A by neuraminidase and M2e-based immunization strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
There is mounting evidence that in the absence of neutralizing antibodies cross-reactive T cells provide protection against pandemic influenza viruses. Here, we compared protection and CD8+ T cell responses following challenge with H1N1 2009 pandemic and

Antiemesis Corticosteroids Potentiate Checkpoint Blockade Efficacy by Normalizing the Immune Microenvironment in Metastatic Murine Breast Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Corticosteroids improve the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade therapy in metastatic murine breast cancer. By normalizing the tumor immune microenvironment, corticosteroids reduce immunosuppressive signals, restore T‐cell function, and promote antitumor immune responses, resulting in enhanced tumor control.

Neutralizing Antibodies Induced by Gene-Based Hydrodynamic Injection Have a Therapeutic Effect in Lethal Influenza Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
The influenza virus causes annual epidemics and occasional pandemics and is thus a major public health problem. Development of vaccines and antiviral drugs is essential for controlling influenza virus infection.

Overview of Serological Techniques for Influenza Vaccine Evaluation: Past, Present and Future [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Serological techniques commonly used to quantify influenza-specific antibodies include the Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI), Single Radial Haemolysis (SRH) and Virus Neutralization (VN) assays.

Genome‐Wide Codon Reprogramming Enables a Multifactorially Attenuated Influenza Vaccine with Broad Cross‐Protection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide codon reprogramming of influenza A virus introduces 1956 synonymous mutations across five segments and elevates CpG content, causing defective NA packaging, loss of NS1 accumulation, and enhanced ZAP‐mediated antiviral responses without affecting RNA or protein synthesis. These mechanisms result in profound attenuation and potent homologous

Dependence of the energies of fusion on the intermembrane separation: optimal and constrained

open access: yes, 2007
We calculate the characteristic energies of fusion between planar bilayers as afunction of the distance between them, measured from the hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface of one of the two nearest, cis, leaves to the other.

Anti-HIV-1 activity of cellulose acetate phthalate: Synergy with soluble CD4 and induction of "dead-end" gp41 six-helix bundles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
BACKGROUND: Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), a promising candidate microbicide for prevention of sexual transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and other sexually transmitted disease (STD) pathogens, was shown to inactivate HIV ...
