Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

The Impact of Immunization Control Activities on Measles Outbreaks in Akwa Ibom State, South-South, Nigeria [PDF]

, 2010
Background: The increase of vaccination rates means that fewer children will be vulnerable to vaccine preventable diseases such as measles, which will invariably result in a drop in the infant mortality and morbidity rates.

Measles and Measles Vaccine in Japan

Pediatrics International, 1988
Before the introduction of measles vaccine in 1971, measles was a common and well-recognized disease in Japanese children. Seroepidemiological studies conducted before the general use of the vaccine disclosed that measles epidemics differed from community to community; in rural areas, epidemics appeared at intervals of several years with the ...

Use of a rapid digital microfluidics-powered immunoassay for assessing measles and rubella infection and immunity in outbreak settings in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has a high measles incidence despite elimination efforts and has yet to introduce rubella vaccine. We evaluated the performance of a prototype rapid digital microfluidics powered (DMF) enzyme-linked immunoassay (

Measles Outbreak Response Activity in Japan, and a Discussion for a Possible Strategy of Outbreak Response Using Cycle Threshold Values of Real-Time Reverse Transcription PCR for Measles Virus in Measles Elimination Settings

Viruses, 2023
Measles is a highly contagious, but vaccine-preventable disease caused by the measles virus (MeV). Although the administration of two doses of measles vaccines is the most effective strategy to prevent and eliminate measles, MeV continues to spread ...

Fluorescent Cell Barcoding of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells for High‐Throughput Assessment of Vaccine‐Induced T Cell Responses in Low‐Volume Research Samples

Cytometry Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT T cell responses are rarely measured in large‐scale human vaccine studies due to the sample volumes required, as well as the logistical, technical, and financial challenges associated with available assays. Fluorescent cell barcoding has been proposed in other contexts to allow for more high‐throughput flow cytometry‐based assays.
