Rotavirus genotypes in Malaysia and Universal rotavirus vaccination [PDF]

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2012
Group A rotavirus (RV-A) genotypes isolated in Malaysia was studied to estimate the effectiveness of a universal RV-A vaccination in Malaysia. A simple mathematical model was used, with input from a two-year, two-center, prospective study on hospitalization of RV-A gastroenteritis (RVGE) in young children, published data on RV-A hospitalizations and ...

Epithelial Memory After Respiratory Viral Infection in Mice Results in Prolonged Enhancement of Antigen Presentation

Allergy, EarlyView.
RSV infection induces lasting epigenetic and transcriptional changes in LECs, upregulating MHC‐I and MHC‐II, further amplified by LPS exposure. This is accompanied by increased antigen uptake, processing, and presentation. These persistent alterations may influence immune responses, potentially impacting both immunity to infection and respiratory ...
