Swedish Infants Developed Pertussis at a Younger Age if Their Mother Was the Possible Source of Infection in 2009–2015

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the possible source of laboratory‐confirmed pertussis in infants under 6 months of age. Methods This nationwide prospective study was based on laboratory‐confirmed cases reported in the enhanced pertussis surveillance in Sweden from 2009 to 2015. The parents or carers of 345 infants were interviewed

Development of a Sandwich ELISA to Measure Exposure to Occupational Cow Hair Allergens [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Cow hair and dander are important inducers of occupational allergies in cattle-exposed farmers. To estimate allergen exposure in farming environments, a sensitive enzyme immunoassay was developed to measure cow hair allergens.

Passive Immunization with Anti-Tau Antibodies in Two Transgenic Models

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Background: Recent active immunization studies have raised the possibility of modulating Tau pathology. Results: Peripheral administration of two antibodies against pathological Tau forms reduces Tau pathology and improves functional outcomes. Conclusion:

Ethical Considerations Regarding the Vaccination of Children—The Power Dynamics Between Doctors and Parents

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While childhood vaccination programmes provide outstanding contributions to improving health, they can also pose challenges through the interactions between parents and healthcare. This paper focuses on the ethical dimensions of interactions between healthcare professionals and parents. Since the knowledge that professionals possess creates an

Immunogenicity and tolerability of an MF59-adjuvanted, egg-derived, A/H1N1 pandemic influenza vaccine in children 6-35 months of age [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Vaccines against pandemic A/H1N1 influenza should provide protective immunity in children, because they are at greater risk of disease than adults.

Passive Immunization against Chicken Pox [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 1969
The paper in this issue on "Prevention of Varicella by Zoster Immune Globulin" (ZIG) provides convincing evidence that 2 ml of gamma globulin, prepared from pooled plasma of patients convalescing from herpes zoster with complement-fixing antibody titers of at least 1:256, prevented varicella in susceptible children exposed to a sibling with the disease

Tau‐targeting active immunotherapy slows progression and reduces pathology in mouse models of tauopathy

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
The efficacy of the novel anti‐tau active immunotherapy, p5555kb, was tested using two mouse models of tau pathology. p5555kb inoculation increased the survival rate and reduced tau pathology in tau‐overexpressing P301L mice and decreased tau seeding in the brains of C57BL/6 mice injected with human‐purified Alzheimer's disease tau.

Active and Passive Immunization with rHyr1p-N Protects Mice against Hematogenously Disseminated Candidiasis

PLoS ONE, 2011
We previously reported that Candida albicans cell surface protein Hyr1 encodes a phagocyte killing resistance factor and active vaccination with a recombinant N-terminus of Hyr1 protein (rHyr1p-N), significantly protects immunocompetent mice from ...

Factors Affecting Immune Reconstitution Post‐Allogeneic HSCT in Children: The Case for an Individualized Approach to Vaccination

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is increasingly used to treat malignant and non‐malignant diseases. Following allogeneic HSCT, patients are particularly vulnerable to vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPD) because conditioning depletes immune cells, including memory cells.
