Two New Kindreds with Complete Factor D Deficiency
The complement system plays a crucial role in immune defense, and factor D deficiency is a rare immunodeficiency associated with life‐threatening bacterial infections. We report two new cases of complete factor D deficiency, including the first described in a Down syndrome patient, highlighting the need to investigate complement deficiencies in ...

Vaccination dilemma on an evolving social network [PDF]
Vaccination is crucial for the control of epidemics. Yet it is a social dilemma since non-vaccinators can benefit from the herd immunity created by the vaccinators. Thus the optimum vaccination level is not reached via voluntary vaccination at times.

Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccines
Neisseria meningitidis is an important cause of bacterial meningitis and septicaemia with most disease caused by meningococci bearing serogroups A, B, C, Y and W-135 polysaccharides. Monovalent serogroup C conjugate vaccines have become established in the immunisation programmes in many countries and the first quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine ...

Vaccination strategies and transmission of COVID-19: evidence across advanced countries [PDF]
Given limited supply of approved vaccines and constrained medical resources, design of a vaccination strategy to control a pandemic is an economic problem. We use time-series and panel methods with real-world country-level data to estimate effects on COVID-19 cases and deaths of two key elements of mass vaccination - time between doses and vaccine type.

Toll‐like receptor expression during inflammatory processes in human diseases
Chronic inflammation in different illnesses triggered by pathogen‐associated molecular patterns and damage associated molecular patterns recognized by Toll‐like receptors (TLRs). Abstract Multi‐cellular organisms, including humans, have evolved immune systems as defense mechanisms against pathogens. The immune system employs the Toll‐like receptor (TLR)
