Deep phenotyping of the unselected COPSAC2010 birth cohort study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: We hypothesize that perinatal exposures, in particular the human microbiome and maternal nutrition during pregnancy, interact with the genetic predisposition to cause an abnormal immune modulation in early life towards a trajectory to chronic

Advances in immunomodulating therapy of HBV infection [PDF]
Patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection have a higher risk of developing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Interferon-α, lamivudine and adefovir dipivoxil are the three approved treatment for chronic HBV infection and offers ...

Superior antigen-specific CD4+ T-cell response with AS03-adjuvantation of a trivalent influenza vaccine in a randomised trial of adults aged 65 and older [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of trivalent influenza vaccines may be reduced in older versus younger adults because of age-related immunosenescence. The use of an adjuvant in such a vaccine is one strategy that may combat immunosenescence, potentially by

Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease associated with substantial morbidity and mortality in vulnerable populations, especially the elderly. Influenza viruses are unique in that they undergo small mutations and antigenic variation in their hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes. Owing to the senescence of the immune system, the ability to

The history of MF59 ® adjuvant: a phoenix that arose from the ashes
The first clinical trial of an MF59(®)-adjuvanted influenza vaccine (Novartis) was conducted 20 years ago in 1992. The product that emerged (Fluad(®), Novartis) was licensed first in Italy in 1997 and is now licensed worldwide in 30 countries. US licensure is expected in the coming years. By contrast, many alternative adjuvanted vaccines have failed to

MF59 adjuvanted seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines.
MF59-adjuvanted seasonal trivalent inactivated (ATIV) vaccine licensed since 1997 and MF59-adjuvanted pandemic H1N1 vaccines have been distributed to approximately 80M persons. Addition of the emulsion adjuvant to inactivated vaccine formulations provides for higher levels of antibody to the viral hemagglutinin (HA) in less responsive older adults ...

Epitope-specific humoral responses to human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein-B vaccine with MF59 adjuvant in seropositive solid organ transplant recipients: anti-AD2 levels correlate with protection from viraemia [PDF]
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) virion envelope protein glycoprotein B (gB) is essential for viral entry and represents a major target for humoral responses following infection.

MF59™ as a vaccine adjuvant: a review of safety and immunogenicity
Approximately 70 years passed between the licensing of alum salts as vaccine adjuvants and that of MF59™ MF59, an oil-in-water emulsion, is currently licensed for use in the elderly as an adjuvant in seasonal influenza vaccines. Its mechanism of action is not fully understood, but enhancement of the interaction between the antigen and the dendritic ...
