Advances in influenza vaccination [PDF]

F1000Prime Reports, 2014
Influenza virus infections yearly cause high morbidity and mortality burdens in humans, and the development of a new influenza pandemic continues to threaten mankind as a Damoclean sword. Influenza vaccines have been produced by using egg-based virus growth and passaging techniques that were developed more than 60 years ago, following the ...

Influenza: vaccination and treatment [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2001
Few conditions exert such an enormous toll of absenteeism, suffering, medical consultations, hospitalization, death and economic loss as influenza. Patients at high risk of complications and mortality include the elderly and those with pre-existing cardiopulmonary disease.The outbreak in 1997 in Hong Kong, of avian H5N1 influenza in man, which resulted

Cholesterol in mRNA‐Lipid Nanoparticles can be Replaced with the Synthetic Mycobacterial Monomycoloyl Glycerol Analogue MMG‐1

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that cholesterol in messenger RNA‐lipid nanoparticles (mRNA‐LNPs) can be completely replaced with an immunopotentiating lipid, i.e., a synthetic analogue of the C‐type lectin receptor agonist monomycoloyl glycerol (MMG‐1), without compromising physicochemical properties, in vivo transfection efficiency, and immunogenicity of the

Public knowledge on influenza and influenza vaccines

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2021
Introduction and purpose. Influenza is the most common infectious disease reported in Poland. It is caused by a virus, which is transmitted through respiratory droplets. Vaccines are prime and most effective way to prevent the disease and its complications, but only 4,15 Polish people are vaccinated against influenza, which ranks Poland on one of the ...

Nanobody‐Decorated Lipid Nanoparticles for Enhanced mRNA Delivery to Tumors In Vivo

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a targeted mRNA‐LNP platform engineered with anti‐PSMA nanobodies for prostate cancer therapy. Using different in vivo models, the authors demonstrate selective uptake and mRNA delivery in PSMA+ cancer cells. However, while targeting is enhanced, mRNA delivery efficacy is limited by tissue penetration, tumor necrosis, and immune ...

Vaccines for Pandemic Influenza

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Asia and associated human infections have led to a heightened level of awareness and preparation for a possible influenza pandemic. Vaccination is the best option by which spread of a pandemic virus could be prevented and severity of disease reduced.

Dissolving Microneedle for Maintaining the Integrity of HPV Virus‐Like Particles Enabling Durable Sterile Protection Across Various Mucosal Tissues

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A novel dissolving microneedle platform preserves HPV virus‐like particle (VLP) immunogenicity by maintaining structural integrity, crucial for eliciting potent immune responses. Buccal administration induces robust immune response, high neutralizing antibody titers, and durable sterile protection across oral and vaginal mucosal sites.
