A Comparative Analysis of Influenza Vaccination Programs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The threat of avian influenza and the 2004-2005 influenza vaccine supply shortage in the United States has sparked a debate about optimal vaccination strategies to reduce the burden of morbidity and mortality caused by the influenza virus.

Impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic and a free influenza vaccine strategy on the willingness of residents to receive influenza vaccines in Shanghai, China

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2021
The influenza vaccine is not included in China’s national immunization program. Here, we assessed influenza vaccine coverage among Shanghai residents and estimated the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic and a hypothetical free ...

Substitutions near the hemagglutinin receptor-binding site determine the antigenic evolution of influenza A H3N2 viruses in U.S. swine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Swine influenza A virus is an endemic and economically important pathogen in pigs, with the potential to infect other host species. The hemagglutinin (HA) protein is the primary target of protective immune responses and the major component in swine ...

N-glycosylation at the receptor binding site drives differences in receptor binding specificity between influenza B virus lineages

open access: yesJournal of Virology
Receptor specificity plays a critical role in influenza virus host tropism and pathogenesis. Influenza A and influenza B viruses (FLUAVs and FLUBVs, respectively) utilize N-glycans with terminal sialic acids on glycoproteins decorating the surface of ...

A Decade in Review: A Systematic Review of Universal Influenza Vaccines in Clinical Trials during the 2010 Decade

open access: yesViruses, 2020
On average, there are 3–5 million severe cases of influenza virus infections globally each year. Seasonal influenza vaccines provide limited protection against divergent influenza strains.

One-way trip: Influenza virus' adaptation to gallinaceous poultry may limit its pandemic potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We hypothesise that some influenza virus adaptations to poultry may explain why the barrier for human-to-human transmission is not easily overcome once the virus has crossed from wild birds to chickens.

Aged AG129 mice support the generation of highly virulent novel mouse-adapted DENV (1-4) viruses exhibiting neuropathogenesis and high lethality

open access: yesVirus Research
Dengue virus infection in humans ranges from asymptomatic infection to severe infection, with ∼2.5 % overall disease fatality rate. Evidence of neurological manifestations is seen in the severe form of the disease, which might be due to the direct ...

Next‐Generation Bio‐Reducible Lipids Enable Enhanced Vaccine Efficacy in Malaria and Primate Models

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Structure–activity relationship (SAR) optimization of bio‐reducible ionizable lipids enables the development of highly effective lipid nanoparticle (LNP) mRNA vaccines. Lead LNPs show superior tolerability and antibody responses in rodents and primates, outperforming approved COVID‐19 vaccine lipids.

Programmable DNA‐Peptide Hybrid Nanostructures for Potent Neutralization of Multiple Influenza a Virus Subtypes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multivalent antiviral platform based on honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructures (HC–Urumin) is developed to enhance the potency and breadth of the host defense peptide Urumin. Through spatially patterned trimeric presentation, HC–Urumin disrupts influenza A virus entry, improves cell viability, and reduces disease severity in vivo‐offering a modular and ...

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.
