M2e-Based Universal Influenza A Vaccines
The successful isolation of a human influenza virus in 1933 was soon followed by the first attempts to develop an influenza vaccine. Nowadays, vaccination is still the most effective method to prevent human influenza disease. However, licensed influenza vaccines offer protection against antigenically matching viruses, and the composition of these vaccines needs to be updated nearly every year. ...
متن کاملUniversal influenza vaccines: Shifting to better vaccines
Influenza virus causes acute upper and lower respiratory infections and is the most likely, among known pathogens, to cause a large epidemic in humans. Influenza virus mutates rapidly, enabling it to evade natural and vaccine-induced immunity. Furthermore, influenza viruses can cross from animals to humans, generating novel, potentially pandemic strains. Currently available influenza vaccines i...
متن کاملTowards universal influenza vaccines?
Vaccination is the most cost-effective way to reduce the considerable disease burden of seasonal influenza. Although seasonal influenza vaccines are effective, their performance in the elderly and immunocompromised individuals would benefit from improvement. Major problems related to the development and production of pandemic influenza vaccines are response time and production capacity as well ...
متن کاملUniversal Influenza Vaccines - A Short Review
Influenza virus is one of the most important respiratory pathogens with significant medical and economic burdens [1-3]. It belongs to genera A, B and C of the family Orthomyxoviridae with type A viruses being the primary pathogens claimed for seasonal and pandemic influenza outbreaks [4]. Type A viruses can be further divided into different subtypes based on the serotypes of their main surface ...
متن کاملUniversal Vaccines and Vaccine Platforms to Protect against Influenza Viruses in Humans and Agriculture
Influenza virus infections pose a significant threat to public health due to annual seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics. Influenza is also associated with significant economic losses in animal production. The most effective way to prevent influenza infections is through vaccination. Current vaccine programs rely heavily on the vaccine's ability to stimulate neutralizing antibody respons...
