Assessing Risk Thresholds in Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIM)

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIMs) are a type of clinical trial involving deliberately exposing human volunteers to an infectious agent. Compared to studies of natural infection, CHIMs offers distinctive benefits, from the ability to study presymptomatic infection to a direct assessment of the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics in a ...

A TLR4 ligand-based adjuvant for promoting the immunogenicity of typhoid subunit vaccines

Frontiers in Immunology
None of the typhoid Vi Polysaccharide (ViPS) subunit vaccines incorporate adjuvants, and the immunogenicity of ViPS vaccines (e.g. Typbar TCV® and Typhim Vi®) is in part due to associated TLR4 ligands such as endotoxin present in these vaccines.
