Affordable Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine: Strategies and Progress [PDF]
After polio eradication is achieved, the use of live-attenuated oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) must be discontinued because of the inherent risk of the Sabin strains to revert to neurovirulence and reacquire greater transmissibility that could potentially result in the reestablishment of polio transmission.

Beyond PD‐1/PD‐L1: New Immune Checkpoints and Therapeutic Combinations in Cancer Immunotherapy
ABSTRACT Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), particularly PD‐1/PD‐L1 and CTLA‐4 inhibitors, have revolutionized cancer treatment, significantly improving survival rates for various malignancies. However, ICI therapies targeting single checkpoints on T cells still face numerous challenges, such as low response rates and post‐treatment ...

Antigenic structure of poliovirus in inactivated vaccines
The reactivity of D antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies with infectious virus and inactivated virus in commercial poliovaccines from two manufacturers was examined in capture enzyme immunoassays. Epitopes on inactivated poliovirus types 2 and 3 in vaccines were modified by the inactivation process to such an extent that some monoclonal antibodies ...

Multi‐modality imaging strategy applied to PRV‐induced central nervous system infection enables dynamic visualization of cerebrovascular dysfunction, including hyperemia, hypoperfusion, and vascular remodeling. These changes are linked to microglial activation and impaired angiogenesis, providing mechanistic insight into PRV neuropathogenesis and ...

Oral and inactivated poliovirus vaccines in the newborn: A review [PDF]
Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) remains the vaccine-of-choice for routine immunization and supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) to eradicate poliomyelitis globally. Recent data from India suggested lower than expected immunogenicity of an OPV birth dose, prompting a review of the immunogenicity of OPV or inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) when ...
