Do antibody responses to the influenza vaccine persist year-round in the elderly? A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: The influenza vaccine is less immunogenic in older than younger adults, and the duration of protection is unclear. Determining if protection persists beyond a typical seasonal epidemic is important for climates where influenza virus ...

MF59 adjuvant: the best insurance against influenza strain diversity
MF59 is a well-established, safe and potent vaccine adjuvant that has been licensed for more than 13 years for use in an influenza vaccine focused on elderly subjects (Fluad®), Novartis, Cambridge, MA, USA). Recently, MF59 was shown to be safe in a seasonal influenza vaccine for young children and was able to increase vaccine efficacy from 43 to 89%. A

Selective induction of antibody effector functional responses using MF59-adjuvanted vaccination [PDF]
Seasonal and pandemic influenza infection remains a major public health concern worldwide. Driving robust humoral immunity has been a challenge given preexisting, often cross-reactive, immunity and in particular, poorly immunogenic avian antigens. To overcome immune barriers, the adjuvant MF59 has been used in seasonal influenza vaccines to increase ...

The type of adjuvant in whole inactivated influenza a virus vaccines impacts vaccine-associated enhanced respiratory disease [PDF]
Influenza A virus (IAV) causes a disease burden in the swine industry in the US and is a challenge to prevent due to substantial genetic and antigenic diversity of IAV that circulate in pig populations.

Vaccine Efficacy of ALVAC-HIV and Bivalent Subtype C gp120–MF59 in Adults
A safe, effective vaccine is essential to eradicating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. A canarypox-protein HIV vaccine regimen (ALVAC-HIV plus AIDSVAX B/E) showed modest efficacy in reducing infection in Thailand. An analogous regimen using HIV-1 subtype C virus showed potent humoral and cellular responses in a phase 1-2a trial in South ...

MF59-based lipid nanocarriers for paclitaxel delivery: optimization and anticancer evaluation. [PDF]
Abstract Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in women worldwide, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies to enhance treatment efficacy and safety. This study focuses on the development and optimization of novel paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) that incorporate components of MF59, an oil-in ...

Evaluate whether adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine (aQIV) elicits a noninferior immune response compared with a licensed adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (aTIV-1; Fluad™) and aTIV-2 containing an alternate B strain, examine whether aQIV had immunological superiority for the B strain absent from aTIV comparators, and evaluate ...
